Are you serious?
Hashirama beats EVERYONE?
The FIRST posts I see probably didn't even read my post.
People just try to rapid fire respond based on the title. It's really annoying.
But yeah, Hashi probably couldn't just defeat everyone that easily. In a battle of power with huge destructive jutsu, yes he's probably the king. But we've never seen him use any kind of finesse, speed, genjutsu, or intelligence so I think until we know everything about him there are plenty of holes for someone to exploit.
If we assume that he's not a sensor type, someone with high level genjutsu might be able to trap him.
If he doesn't have high-speed, Minato or A could have killed him with a quick pinpoint attack before he could create a defense
If he isn't extremely intelligent, a weaker ninja with higher intelligence may have been able to find a weak point to outsmart him.
I agree that it shouldn't be taken for granted that he would always win
