Kiba vs Zaku

[Kiba Inuzuka]

During the Chuunin Exams, both are at 100%

Go!

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Kiba, easily.

His speed is too much for Zaku's attacks to keep up with. Not to mention a Gatsuuga could break through Zaku's sound attacks. Seems pretty cut and dry to me.

[Kyon]

Which was stronger, Chouji's meat tank or Gatsuuga? If it was the meat tank, Zaku could just hold him off, but a smarter tactic would be to attack him from both sides. If Gatsuuga was, Zaku probably would have trouble against it and Kiba would beat him in the end.

[Kiba Inuzuka]

Zaku can blast from both hands, so handling Kiba and Akamaru at the same time will be difficult, but not impossible.

[Feral]

Which was stronger, Chouji's meat tank or Gatsuuga? If it was the meat tank, Zaku could just hold him off, but a smarter tactic would be to attack him from both sides. If Gatsuuga was, Zaku probably would have trouble against it and Kiba would beat him in the end.

Wasn't Gatsuuga too weak to break through Jirobou's earth dome in the Sasuke retrieval arc? Then again, Shikamaru was having Kiba use the ability to test the earth dome.. but if he were using a test, wouldn't it be the weaker of the two physical attacks?

-----

Assuming it is weaker than meat tank, Zaku himself said that his problem stopping meat tank was the rotation, and didn't mention the power. Gatsuuga is largely rotation as well, but Kiba and Akamaru also have a lot more control over the direction and speed of Gatsuuga, and can even split up to attack from different directions.

And if Gatsuuga is as strong as meat tank.. Zaku might as well be fighting 2 Chouji's, both with a higher speed and better directional control than normal.

I'd say Kiba wins this, he's too quick for Zaku. We saw what happened when Zaku fought Sasuke, he was outmatched, he can't handle speed.

[Kaiji]

Kiba got this

use duble headed wolf it a bloodline so he can use it any time

[Vagrant Tom]

Kiba is way too fast. Imagine what Sasuke did to Zaku. He'll shoot and suddenly Kiba will be behind him with a tsuuga ready.

[Shiranui]

Zankuuha may lessen the blow of Kiba's attacks, potentially prevent them altogether. However, I doubt he has the ability to constantly guard himself against the relentless assault Kiba and Akamaru will likely put up and still be able to transition into offense. So Kiba wins.

[Roland]

I doubt the ability of Zaku's air guantlets. If Kiba were to use Gatsuuga into them, as Chouji did, I believe Kiba would peirce through and win. Adding Akamaru into the fight gives Kiba the chance to attack from different angles in which Zaku wouldn't be able to stop. Kiba wins with the use of Gatsuuga and Akamaru.

[hyuuga_neji14732]

Kiba would win his speed would help and not to mention Zaku probably wouldnt realize that Akamaru was party of Kiba's fighting style.

[StelthFenix]

Kiba takes this without much effort, and not just because hes my favorite. his speed, combined with him and akamarus sheer strength, zaku wouldnt know what hit him.

[Gentle Fist]

I think Kiba's speed would really be a problem for Zaku, and the feints that he uses with akamaru would work well to counter his sound attacks

Kiba wins

[~ Son of SPARDA ~]

Kiba wins. Zaku was practically a one-trick pony, while Kiba had a much wider arsenal of attacks to select from... an arsenal Zaku would have a fair amount of difficulty defending against via repeatedly using the same attack, which is what he attempted to do in his Chuunin exam preliminary match with Shino (and look at how that turned out for him).

[Marluxia]

The rotation of Gatsuuga would render Zaku's air blasts ineffective.

Kiba wins this easily.

[Roka]

Zaku's attack might reduce the blow of Kiba's attacks, potentially preventing them altogether. I doubt he has the ability to constantly guard himself against the restless attacks Kiba and Akamaru will likely put up and still be able to transition into offense. So Kiba wins.

[Ryuk]

Kiba goes twin headed wolf and takes this with ease. Zaku wasn't that strong to began with.

[Han Solo]

Does anyone have Zaku's databook stats? Or more specifically, his speed stats?

[TheOftViewer]

Here are the databook stats that are in the tournament forum:

Ninjutsu: 3.5
Taijutsu: 2
Genjutsu: 2
Intelligence: 1
Strength: 1
Speed: 2.5
Stamina: 1
Seal Knowledge: 1

And for reference, Kiba's:

Ninjutsu: 1.5
Taijutsu: 2.5
Genjutsu: 0.5
Intelligence: 1
Strength: 2.5
Speed: 3.5
Stamina: 1.5
Seal Knowledge: 1.5

Looks like Kiba is stronger, faster, and better at taijutsu.

[Han Solo]

Thanks for that. Yeah it seems that Kiba would simply be too fast, similar to what Sasuke did. Kiba wins with a comfertable margin.

[maximilyan]

I think kiba probably has the speed and power advantage here. so i'll give it to him.

[Itachi's Apprentice 3]

Even back in that time Kiba still has superior abilities than Zaku and will use the food pills if necessary.

[Han Solo]

Here are the databook stats that are in the tournament forum:

Ninjutsu: 3.5
Taijutsu: 2
Genjutsu: 2
Intelligence: 1
Strength: 1
Speed: 2.5
Stamina: 1
Seal Knowledge: 1

And for reference, Kiba's:

Ninjutsu: 1.5
Taijutsu: 2.5
Genjutsu: 0.5
Intelligence: 1
Strength: 2.5
Speed: 3.5
Stamina: 1.5
Seal Knowledge: 1.5

Looks like Kiba is stronger, faster, and better at taijutsu.

And, if I must remind, this is discluding any outside interference and Jtsu. So when he takes his food pill and goes into beat mose, he'll be even faster.

[mednin]

Kiba, with the giant Akamaru and his other techniques.

[☆Northstar☆]

Kiba wins due to his speed and power. Zaku could use Zankuha all he wants but eventually he's going to get nailed with Gatsuga.

[bug_ninja]

Kiba owns....he's faster,stronger and has Akamaru to help him.

[Roka]

Firstly I'll list the data book statistics for each of them, these will be a reference point for the rest of the analysis.

Location and Distance

Since this wasn't specified in the OP, I can only make an assumption that by placing them during the chuunin exams that it would be the chuunin exam arena. (http://www.onemanga.com/Naruto/98/14/) For the sake of fairness I'll assume they start at the same distance that Sasuke vs Gaara (http://www.onemanga.com/Naruto/111/06/) started.


It's Over Kiba Won

We see here (http://www.onemanga.com/Naruto/55/12/) and here (http://www.onemanga.com/Naruto/55/07/), Zaku's normal jutsu isn't that strong. Here (http://www.onemanga.com/Naruto/55/08/) he even admits that his jutsu is useless against stuff that rotates (http://www.onemanga.com/Naruto/76/08/).

It's over. Kiba won.

[akatsuki8]

kiba is too good for zaku

[Ashiya]

Kiba takes it. :amuse Gatsuuga will destroy Zaku.

[akatsuki8]

kiba is going to own this becuase i mean he and akamaru are a great team
