Rasengan vs Chidori

[Quotable]

Strategically they're the same...but you still have to remember the Rasengan/Odama Rasengan aren't complete. The Odama is just a larger version...like in Street Fighter when Ken and Ryu use Shinku Hadoukens...they're just larger versions of a simple Hadouken.

A completed Rasengan is a Chidori when the shock element is applied. The Shuriken Fuuton Rasengan is a completed Rasengan when the wind element is applied. Now, if we compared the two completed forms, we see a magnificent change in power differences...and range. We don't even know if there's a higher level of the Shuriken Fuuton Rasengan...such as an Odama version like Sasuke has with the Chidori...however, we DO know that on the same tier there's no comparison.

Naruto is perfect for the Shuriken Fuuton Rasengan because he'll always heal unless he's instantly killed. The problem with the Chidori's instantly kill factor is that it only applies when struck in a critical area...the Rasengan, Odama Rasengan, and Shuriken Fuuton Rasengan will obliterate you regardless as long as the user chooses not to dispel it early or pull it away.

Sooo how is Rasenga strategically talking the same as Chidori? You can't win all battle by just power itself you also need to strategice. So if you're thinking that there's a higher level of the Shuriken Fuuton Rasenga what make you think that chidori won't have one either. One more thing if Shuriken Fuuton Rasenga is a complete form of rasenga how come it's name "Shuriken Fuuton" if it's just a normal rasenga compare to just normal chidori, Shuriken Fuuton Rasenga is not a complete normal rasenga is an improvement of Rasenga just like chidori or any other technic can be improve.

You can strategize the use of the Rasengan the same as you can strategize the use of the Chidori. A normal Rasengan and a normal Chidori neither limit mobility, speed, or attack range. Whether you use the Rasengan or Chidori you still have the same flexibility.

Shuriken Fuuton Rasengan is a completed Rasengan just as the Chidori is a completed Rasengan. They're on the same tier as far as technique completion, however, the Shuriken Fuuton Rasengan is FAR more powerful. Chidori and Shuriken Fuuton are both first level completions of Rasengan.

The second level of Shuriken Fuuton Rasengan to match the full body Chidori would most likely be aptly named in the Shinku class (ex: Shinku Shuriken Fuuton Rasengan).

Kakashi named the Chidori as such because that's what he wanted to do. He named it for the sound of the Chidori...it was no longer a Rasengan, it had become something different when he applied his shock element. Just like when the wind element is applied that Rasengan is actually NOT a Rasengan anymore, however, because it's NARUTO'S own technique now, he named it as he saw fit, hence Shuriken Fuuton Rasengan.

That was easy to explain.

kakashi named it chidori becuase it souds like a thousand chirping bird and thats what chidori means

[Hatake Kakashi]

what do you mean when you say strategy, in a fight you need to overpower the enemy, thats a point of a fight it doesnt matter how, Rasengan is mutch better than the Chidori from ever aspect of view

[Sasuke Uchiha]

You can't win by power alone and that is why i like Shikamaru because he prove my logic on all of his battles. Naruto when he face Neji he actually didn't use power to defeat him but he actually outsmart him.

-lol- you are right thats a good theory, but this " outsmarting" has limits and you know that...but when you are smart like Shikamaru and have power like Naruto THEN you will be the ultimate weapon...but Naruto have power and he knows how to fight(that means that he can beat someone who is smarter or stronger than he is ), and thats what this all "who is tsronger than who" thing is

[Ninja Yoda]

yet also the limits of Chidori is very few.... because Kakashi can only use it 2 times like he said in a ep... but naruto can use Rasengan more than that because of the 9 tailed demon in him... and because of that he can make the Rasengan his own move! like making it bigger more stronger like shown when naruto fought itachi... so Rasengan is better in those aspects.... but I will say Rasengan is way better than Chidori mainly because Rasengan is WAY more stronger than Chidori!

He can only use it 3 not 2.......
