Well, It may be true that Gai has no defence against Madara's offence, so the only way he can trumps Madara is by not giving him time to counter. It is true that Gai got massive help, although I disagree with pulling out his best techs, I thinkt that by becoming Ten Tails host you loose abiltiy to use Ninjutsu, except meallable black chakra/energy which is combination of the all basic elments nature + use of on Onmyoudon.
Well Then Let me fix my speech before. Madara is giving his all in Taijtusu battle and he is clearly matched in Taijutsu battle by Taijutsu God Maito Gai using 8th gate. I think that if Madara utilized his Destructive/defensive power well then he would be top over guy easily.
In my opinion Ten tails host is limited to the:
- malleable black fluid chakra/energy to take on any desired shape. Perfect Defence and Offence limited to user's imagination. Hower the destructive capacity/durability/hardness etc. of malleable black fluid chakra/energy depends on the amount of ten tails chakra/energy host is using.
- Onmyoudon added to black fluid stuff can nullify any Ninjutsu while defending or attacking.
- Ten tails beast ball
- sealing techniques
- Ten tails's abilities: Mokuton etc.
Well and that could be all abilities of The Ten tails hosts.
Imo Madara is still not going all out as he is using only fraction of Ten tails chakra(either he need other Rinnegan to manipulate freely Ten tails chakra to use it's full potential, he can not focus or maybe he think current power is enough in fight against Gai). However Madara is far from playing around... well this is what I think
Madara was going to use Rimbo hengoku
as juubi jinchuriki, so clearly he can use ninjutsu as a juubi jin. He's choosing not to since omnyoudon is acceptable enough in most situations (fast, nullifies all ninjutsu, strong enough defence to take a pounding).
Yes, we know 8th gate guy >>>>>>>> madara in taijutsu, but saying madara is giving his all is just insane. The amount of guy wank as of late is so ridiculous, people claiming he's on juubi jin level as if they can't see him getting help?
Ten tails has no limits on the jutsu they can use, as I've expressed above with the fact that madara was going to use a rinnegan jutsu. If he can use rinnegan moves, he has the abilities of rinnegan which includes the ability to use any and all ninjutsu. ergo, he can do anything he pleases. The simple fact is, Omnyoudon suffices for most situations, only one it doesn't suffice for is in situations where senjutsu is present.
If madara wasn't playing around, he would have launched a limbo at kakashi/gaara/minato/lee or thrown a couple black balls at kakashi/gaara since minato is off screen, or he'd use PS and wipe them in a swing, or he'd simply summon shinju and flat out kill the lot in an instant. Even naruto almost died while on BSM reserves; these guys would be wasted within seconds. The fact of the matter is, madara isn't getting his ass kicked by guy... he's getting his ass kicked by guy, lee, kakashi, gaara and minato. Without the other 4, guy would have never made it past the point where madara encased himself in omnyoudon.
