Nice to see some ppl who belives Gaara isnt booring/has more to offer.
I've said it and someone else in this post. I dont think Gaara has ever been in a fight that requires more than what he have done so far. Even if Lee pushed it quite well he still didnt have to do anything special..
Tho the kind of speed that Lee has is probably the key to defeating the sand shield cause it cant keep up. But as littledude said. I dont think for a second that if someone manages to crack the armor of sand that Gaara is done for.. Hehe thats probably the time when you wish you were never born for pissing him off. I think that Sasuke can do pretty well vs the Gaara we have seen so far cause he is good and he has his "lame"?thing the sharingan. But I very much doubt Sasuke can do much if Gaara gets super crazy and goes in to the other self like Baki and his syblings seems to be affraid of..
And please stop it with the Gaara/Naruto is lame and can only win cause they have what they have.. Eat it up thats the way it is supposed to be you know. Dont think for a second that Neji would be the nr one rookie from the last year and "the strongest genin" without Byakugan.. Kakashi might have been good (or obviously is) without his Sharingan but he would probably have lost vs Zabuza without it.
And whoever said that chars with only 2 or 3 moves are boringcomon thats just the action hero in you that talks.. Shikamaru is a cool guy cause of the way he is.. I dont think he has that many special jutsus other than shadow binding. But he uses it with brains and makes it work.
Kage Bunshin might feel a little repetetive at times but Naruto evolve's that jutsu pretty good and comes up with pretty nifty things and combos he wouldnt be able to to otherwise..
Sasuke has his Sharingan and I live with it even tho it is not fair for someone like Lee.. Sasuke and the other "bloodline" boys wouldnt have been more skillful than Lee is (without the gates thing cause that is special too).. There would be no special jutsus or flashy jutsus or anything
Same thing with Gaara.. The more stronger opponents he fights that can push him beyond the standing still and just use the sand as protection and offence the more I guess he needs to evolve aswell to be able to win..
