My bad, I meant that Sakura surpassed Tsunade not Hinata in the second paragraph of my comment, that was a typo, I edited it. Hinata barely got battle screen time in part two no? She fought Pein, which is literally one of the worst matchups for Hinata's style.

@Arturia and Soloking I agree that Hinata is below Sakura but matchups are a thing

Hinata doesn't beat Sakura because of a skill difference, it's because of matchup. Sakura relies on chakra control to make her CQC punches a one shot right? and also is accustommed to taking blows to trade blows, using durablityy and hax healing to make that possible. Well her skillset is hard countered by the hyuga, who don't rely on heavy force they rely on precision attacks to surgically break down their opponent and shut off their jutsu and cause severe organ damage. I think the matchup disadvantage might be enough to overcome the skill difference between the two. Sakura hasn't had much experience fighting a Hyuga right? I feel like people like Gai and rock lee have a better chance against the hyuga style of fighting when it comes to CQC.
