Only Deva was
shown summoning Gedo Mazo. It doesn't equal "Other paths can't summon Gedo Mazo". I know it wouldn't harm to assume that they're able to summon it, but since they weren't shown summoning it, they can't use it in VS threads. Anyway, Animal Path seems to be the only path able to summon it apart from Deva, since it has access to other Rinnegan-exclusive summonings.
I was only stating a manga contradiction, that summary had nothing to do with this vs thread.
Deva wouldn't start with CT, but he would use it if needed. Other than his remarkable Taijutsu mastery
Woah slow your horses now, All Pain body's lack Taijutsu skills and is no where near to mastery. Where are you getting this.
and impressive speed shown to rival that of KN6

They are impressive but to go up against Kisame feats of Taijutsu and ninjutsu, he is not taking this. Deva's jutsu's are limited and will only result to win with only CT, with the summoning.
I believe I've explained why Kisame wouldn't be able to react to CT in time, and I've shown manga pages of Deva summoning Gedo Mazo.
Summing Gedo is the only result for Kisame losing this battle
Saying he can't use it in battle wouldn't help your case, since you can't summon it if you don't have control over it.
I never applied that anywhere in my post (that he can't do it). I clearly said Deva wins with Gezo coming into play.
So yeah, he can use it in battle just like Obito

But anyway, I still think Deva Path with Gedo Mazo restricted vs Kisame would go either way, with Deva being the favorite. But Deva with Gedo Mazo wouldn't have much trouble against Kisame, which imo ends this thread.
