Yes, so in that case, it's definitely Sasuke > Itachi (after one heck of a battle on Itachi's part! lol) since we have no other proof due to his health issues and obvious death. In canon there is no doubt he's surpassed his older brother.

Mhmm, exactly.

sasuke only surpassed itachi in terms of power, itachi is still a wiser fighter and a better strategist. which would give him the win if they fight both healthy in my opinion

But seriously, Sasuke is no retard. Genjutsu is out of the picture in this fight, since Sasuke broke Tsukuyomi. Then it comes down to ninjutsu where Sasuke outclasses him.

Wasn't it stated at the start of the story that Sasuke was considered a genius? Not like Shikamaru, but with his ability to learn quickly and pass the test by answering every question correctly. I wold have thought Itachi was more of a tactical genius, but Sasuke was quick to pick up on things.

Sasuke surpassed Itachi. Anybody who says otherwise is a clear fanboy (there are lots of itachi fanboys on this base)

Yeah but he couldn't counter my post since he got banned. That post was the **** man. It properly proved Sasuke > Itachi

Why did he get banned now?
He was a good debater...

Why not post the argument here

Hawk summoning > Fly high into the sky > Totsuka blade can't reach > Itachi wasting his already low stamina for no reason.

IF. Notice the word you used, "IF". Here's a newsflash, Sasuke actually has the EMS, in the manga. Where's healthy Itachi? Oh yeah, he doesn't exist.
Yeah it's a big if,but it is a fact that Sasuke's level back then wasn't enough to beat a not healthy Itachi.The only reason Sasuke is alive and has EMS is because Itachi wanted to protect him and make him stronger.Of course Itachi doesn't exist he sacrificed himself for Sasuke.Itachi's death was a prerequisite for Sasuke's power.Sasuke never obtained the EMS.It was given to him.That's why you can't compare them without if's.

Totsuka stabbed Oro, not shot him. No matter how long the blade is, it can't out maneuver an airborne creature in the sky.

Itachi giving Sasuke his eyes has nothing to do with this thread. I'm simply stating current Sasuke > The Itachi we've actually seen...
