Why are people dissing on Sasuke's abilities? Sasuke is extremely good. He is an Akatsuki level fighter for sure. Few people in the Naruto world could actually kill him. His problem is his overconfidense, I think. He's fought some high level guys and just barely won (with some luck, too). Now he's trying to move up and beat tougher guys, even though he barely beat the previous ones. His problem isn't skill, it's the fact that luck helped him win his previous battles, and it seems like that's what he'll be banking on this time. I guess Sasuke needs some quality wins to redeem himself. Oro was sick, Itachi let him win, Deidara was weak verses lightning, and it was a 4 on 1 with the 8 tails, but Sasuke is still a very skilled fighter.
