Yes. Sasuke lost his intellect with his Curse Mark.Yet he took the same approach in other fights.....
Although, even Sasuke's performance against Madara showcases his intellect 100x more than against Naruto.
All Sasuke had to do was pull Naruto in the middle of Indra's arrow and the two RS.
Or simply stand still and Preta Path anything after their Taijutsu battle.
Or Amaterasu again as Naruto was 100% out of Kurama's chakra, and could only make a single Rasengan.
Or Genjutsu after Kurama went to sleep.
Of course, some of these he didn't know would work, but Sasuke isn't the one being fed information about his opponent's abilities by a Bijuu.
