Again that's where their power comes from so tell me how do you come to a conclusion in a fight between these two smart guy?
It's not all about their eyes, their eyes are merely tools that they use and Madara mastered the sharingan far beyond anyone and he was the one who taught Obito the Sage's jutsus and Nagato showed no knowledge of the Sage's jutsus until meeting Obito so it's likely Obito taught him like he taught Itachi. Madara can make 25 clones with susanoo to fight Nagato and get in close. Trick is pushing Nagato constantly and attack during an opening, Madara read the tablet so have the info he needs.
I believe Six Paths of Pain with their secret can pull off this victory...
25 clones with leg Susanoo would split the Pains up and finish them off. Wouldn't take Madara long to figure out which have which abilities and fight them accordingly. Last on standing would be Deva path which can't repel 25 clones constantly attacking, like 5 attack him and Nagato blast them back which leaves him open for the next wave of susanoos. Madara read the tablet so have the info he needs.
Hashirama can also make clones and flower tree world would kill them if it doesn't crush them.
Nagato could take madara but not hashi. maybe he can take base hashi high diff if anything.
Madara - the only trouble madara poses is PS, but that can be absorbed while the shockwave blocked by ST. even if nagato doesn't block the entire shockwave, simply blocking the portion directly coming towards him would suffice.
Hashirama - Hashirama is a bit more troublesome and, in fact, he would win if he entered SM as Sage mode grants him the ultimate powers of the sage's body which would directly counter the ultimate powers of the sage's eyes granted to nagato by the rinnegan. This coupled with the fact that the properties of hashirama's main technique, Mokuton, directly resemble that of the creator of all life, shinju, means Mokuton would be able to absorb nagato's chakra while not allowing nagato to absorb it. The fact that mokuton can't be absorbed puts massive strain on nagato as he has to now use the rest of his arsenal to fend off bijuu level attacks along with hashirama's other abilities.
TL;DR; hashirama wins mid/high in base; Low in SM. Madara in all forms loses. PS coated Kurama would bring it to a possible high diff.
You should add the fact that Madara has Kurama as a summonin this fight since it's EMS Madara and he shown that he can make 25 clones using leg Susanoo to fight kage level ninja and that's him playing around. What do you think he'll do serious to the Paths or Nagato himself?
If they can get past some of Nagato's animals.
Madara and Hashirama are Bijuu level fighters who both have Bijuus under their command. Both can make clones to wipe out the summoning. Madara's clone with Susanoo wipe them out (Dog would only take 1 clone to fight it's multiplying) then go for Nagato with 24 clones plus himself. Hashirama can use Flower tree world to take them out in 1 move plus has wood clones.
What does Madara have except for his EMS sharingan which is inferior to the rinngegan. Again Nagato is stronger and would beat EMS Madara he would give Hashirama trouble.
It doesn't matter if the Rinnegan is stronger, Madara mastered the Sharingan far beyond anyone and we seen ninjas who beat enemies who were much stronger than them so it's not all about power. Madara better experiences, he's skilled in kenjutsus, kinjutsus, have knowledge on a wide array of jutsus, fan reflects attacks, can create many clones. You also seem to forget EMS Madara had Kurama under his control and could summon him while Hashirama had Bijuus 2-8 under his control in VoTE then 2-9 after that fight.
You people act like Nagto is just going to sit around and wait for Madara to use the susano sword and you've all been using it like a crutch well tell you what if that's the only thing Madara has going for him against nagato(Which it must be because that's the ONLY thing you talk about) then Madara Uchiha is doomed. With the rinnegan Nagato has so many ways to own Madara it isn't funny. I don't understand how you people are comming up with this EMS > Rinnegan BS. It's pure fan boy logic. The sword is NINJUTSU just like every technique that comes from the EMS! Sasuke's Susano techniques wouldn't work on Obito Uchiha without jugo. Why do you think that is? It's because it's a NINJUTSU and Obito Uchihas technique negated Ninjtusu. Could Sasuke use the perfect susano sword on Obito Uchiha? NO! Now I'm not saying that Nagato's rinnegan negate ninjutsu like obitos technique did. But I'm saying that Nagato's rinnegan do what? Absorb nin jutsu. That sword has no way of sealing anyone with the rinnegan because it is a ninjutsu that will ultimately be absorbed by the rinnegan. When you come to terms with the fact that every technique coming from EMS can be absorbed by the rinnegan and is inferior to the technequres of the rinnegan you will no longer have a crutch as to why you think Madara Uchiha even stands a chance against someone with the RGN. It's like you people refuse to acknowledge the rinnegan has a shit tone of abilities ONE of which can totally nutralize ALL(INCLUDING THE SWORD) of Madara's offense but are to caught up on this sword which wont even matter in their fight. It would just prolong the inevitable that Nagatos techniques end up being to much for those of the ems and MU loses. The fact that all of you put all of MU's credibility in this fight into one sword which is NJ and would be absorbed only shows how you are all desperate MU fans.
You keep saying absorb but he can't absorb the PS slash shockwave which is not chakra but the force from the slash. Madara also used an array of ninja weapons, his fan reflects attacks and is attached to a blade. As Nagato is absorbing chakra, Madara's clone attacks him with his blade

. Nagato can't do nothing to the sword unless it's about to hit him and he uses his absorbing ability but hat leaves him open to a fatal slash in the back by a clone. His share vision gone due to the clones. Also if you're going to Rate EMS Madara with Nagato then no rinnegan any way since Madara would have to be edo Madara who would drop a meteor on whoever. EMS Madara during VoTE had Kurama, Madara lost Kurama after that fight but gain Senju DNA, Wood jutsu, Gedo Medo (he could summon and control it without Rinnegan since he told Obito he could with jut Senju/Uchiha DNA) and the Rinnegan. Madara new al of the Rinnegan jutsus cause he taught Obito the Sage's jutsus.
