Are you throwing shade towards Shikimaru?
They both use their sharingan constantly in combat, but Madara's hand to hand is peerless prior to juubification, he got sloppy after that.
this isn't really a good thread. madara only ever used tactics against hashirama because anyone else he just bullies around. why bother making up plans when you can just one shot em?
I suppose, but Madara doesn't spam nearly as much MS techs besides susanoo.
That's great, but no answer to the question?
I think that's primarily because Madara is all about sheer brute force. Hand to hand when he first emerged, giant crushing meteor, susanoo spam for larger scale melee and kinjutsu, limbo for invisible monstrously powerful hand to hand, etc.
your answer is itachi i guess he was good enough to plan out how to convincingly lose a battle to his brother
Nah I've always seen itachi as the most intelligent uchiha. Madara is more of a mastermind, but he is no where near as genius and calculating as itachi. The only people on par with itachi's intelligence I think is like minato,shikamaru, and shikaku.
Mostly everybody is saying Madara pulls his plans through with brute force and dumb luck, I guess he is the Luffy of Naruto lol.

Madara is one of the most intelligent characters in the manga, as is Itachi. But Madara is definitely the more intelligent battle wise.
