The Byakugan has a few advantages over the Sharingan. The most notable being the ability to see the chakra holes. Overall it's a more efficient version of the Sharingan's ability to read chakra flows. The gentle fist style is centered around this ability. The gentle fist is a style of taijutsu you can't train your body against, making it one of the most powerful taijutsu styles.
Then there's the advantage of a 360 degree vision, and even though there's a blind spot it's definitely an advantage over regular sight.
Then there's farsightedness, while not that useful in combat it's highly effective for scouting.
Finally, and most impressively is the ability to see through any genjutsu. Even the Shisui's Kotoamatsukami was overcome by Ao's eye. Granted, it was Danzō who used the ability, but Ao's eye didn't originally belong to him either.
Once again I have to go to bed, in the next post I'll focus on the Sharingan and it's advantages (excluding the Mangekyo for obvious reasons).

the only issue the sharingan has is that you need to meet the requirements to achieve mangekyo, and someone else with awakened sharingan and steal their eyes (if possible) to truly get everything it can offer. not sure how this is factored into this discussion, but that is a valid point.

It didn't overcome Kotoamatsukami. It let Ao see that the 4th Mizukage was under a genjutsu.
Thus the Sharingan user will have to fight with one eye covered up or else his chakra will be drained rapidly if he is not an Uchiha, whereas the Byakugan user need not cover up his eye if he is not a Hyuuga.
Of course, they can still wear a cool eyepatch, even a non-removable one, at no disadvantage if they wish.
now i know alot of people here are talking bout eternal mangekyo sharingan and rinnegan but im talkin about the basic sharingan vs basic byakugan becuz every1 knows byakugan cant even compare to rinnegan i personally say sharingan becuz byakugan has a blind spot so without 8 trigrams it wont do much good they both might as well cancel each other out in the ability of tracking there enemies movements but sharingan also provides the ability to see whether something is ninjutsu or genjutsu while byakugan without gentle fist leaves you with good vision same for sharingan without mastery of either they cancel each other p.s. the rinnegan actually grants access to all 7 paths look it up
Byakugan wins, Izanagi and other speacial sharingan type jutsu are useless against the byakugan. Since the sharingan needs to be able to see opponent to be usefull, byakugan can use far away out of the range of any sharingan technique. Then find the best opening to approach the user and attack with distance GF.
Think about it, engage sharigan run and keep your distance just enough so that sharigan can't target you, then use gureilla warfare tactics to wear sharigan down (distance type GF) maybe till they bleed out of their eye or is blind, and the best part is that you can still see the sharigan user even with ur back turned and running around, perfect for guirllia tactics. While you can see everything that your opponent does while he can't see u.
Sure Sharingan packs more of a punch, but the power is nothing if it can't hit.

Hmmm. The ability to see objects in every direction versus the ability to alter-reality, send people to other dimensions, summon nigh-invincible shields that can also attack, summon black fire that can eat through anything, and trap enemies in horrific optical illusions that are nearly impossible to escape from.Tough choice.
Well, sharingan seems beter after you fully activate it.
To activate it, you need to kill your family or your best friend.
Hyuga gets its byakugan when they are born.
See the diff.??

Doesn't seem to be that much of an issue when most of he Uchiha we have seen are batshit crazy anyways.
