eh, Tobi, Madara, doesn't really matter what he's called now. RE: Blaxicon has a bit of a point: the guy doesn't really have much in the ways of a developed personality. so far at least. who knows, maybe his identity will be revealed soon and we'll be going through Kabuto is doing again.
on that note, Kabuto is certainly turning to be far more interesting than expected. it's actually almost worth the wait until the damn fight starts up again.
I found a new top 5 list so I'll share it with you guys and get your opinions: The top 5 underrated Naruto fighters. The list I found had it listed like this:
5. Gin/Kin
4. Rock Lee
3. Konan
2. 3rd Raikage
1. Shikamaru
It's an...interesting group of choices for this type of list but whatever. Tell me who you guys think are the most underrated Naruto fighters. I'll think of mine too.
I agree. The reasoning for Gin and Kin actually made me not dislike them as much. Not the whole beating up the kage but the fact that they were beating up the Kyuubi from INSIDE HIS ****ING BELLY! Dude, that is awesome!
But yeah, I don't know anyone who has underrated Shikamaru or 3rd Raikage really.
I think you mean overrated. That list is comprised of over-rated "fighters".
Konan.
Shikamaru.
Gin and Kin. These two get their rating for taking on the potentially weakest hokage. Over...rated. Their only strength was leeching chakra from the Kyubi.
3rd Raikage.
Lee is the only one that isn't overrated. Everyone is aware of his weaknesses and his strengths (the fans).

Mei is in the same position as Sakura really in that her peers are the other Kage. In reality, Tsunade is a far better person to be on an underrated list I suppose but I don't think much of her anyway. And I like Mei's support abilities more cause I'm fickle and stuff. :T
Yea, but I don't think people actually rate Mei poorly in comparison to the other Kage. I got the impression people tend to rate her as a mid-tier Kage.
Not like Sakura, who has peers of much stronger characters.
She's gotten the least amount of attention, but I've seen people rate her total power pretty well.
Onoki's agreed to be the flat-out strongest, but an acid cloud makes approaching her iffy (and is something Sand won't stop well), she did have no problem with Sasuke, and she's got a lot of range. Iirc awhile back when people here ranked the 5 kage she tended to be right in the middle. I was actually surprised by some people's ratings.

Wankers on various forums.

I don't remember the second kage, to be honest. Was that the 2nd raikage? My mind is blank, here.

Oh yeah. People wank all over that guy.
Third Raikage gets WTF PWNED with some good ol' genjutsu.
People like Orochimaru, Itachi, and Sasuke would roll right over the Sandaime Raikage without much effort.
Sure, he has a super ultra powerful stabby/slashy attack AND he's fast...but it is strictly close range stuff. Sure, he has a very tough defensive body, but it is still close range. Look at Gai: he has a mid-range attack when he goes gates. IMO, that makes him a better fighter than the 3rd Raikage. Basically, I consider that 3rd Raikage to be a very one dimensional fighter. And A does one a bit further, imo, with his lightning armor AND amps. I think A is a better Raikage, overall...despite the fact that they are both pretty much the same type of ninja.
Also, does every Raikage get the title of A?

Yea. Who, granted, we know nothing about, but still, two kage!

We don't know that he's particularly weak to it. While Itachi may be able to manage, I wouldn't take it as a given that he'd be easily taken out by anyone good at genjutsu.
He is so tough that unless the genjutsu *itself* takes him out (like Tsukiyomi can, but unlike most other genjutsu), it's very hard to take advantage. Even if genjutsu makes him stand around and not defend himself for 10 seconds, 'totally open for attack,' it'll be quite hard to actually take him down in that time.

He also has Black Lightning, a powerful ranged ability that Darui got from him.

A very good question.

Who says genjutsu would even work on him?
A's Raiton Shroud amped reflexes made him immune to a Sharingan genjutsu, and it is all but certain that the 3rd's reflexes are just as fast when he's using his Raiton Shroud. Whether or not that applies to MS genjutsu remains to be seen.

Everyone is susceptible to genjutsu. Just depends on the genjtusu being used and if they know how to counter it.
As far as taking advantage of it, we already know that you cannot train your insides to become stronger so any fast gentle fist user that can use genjtsu would be a poor choice against Sandaime Raikage. In fact...any jonin of the main house branch should be a decent match for Sandaime Raikage...they just have to be fast enough to keep up with him.
Also, someone can easily kill him via his eyeballs...even when he is all armored up.

We do not know to what extent he can use that ability. He did not use that jutsu at range. We cannot really give him any feats with that.

I think so...because wasn't B named something else before he became the jinchuriki?
