sage mode, or rikudo mode?
sage mode characteristics/techniques:
general:
-drastically increased speed (not yet known if equal to rikudo mode), strength and stamina
-greater time limit than rikudo mode
-improved ninjutsu, taijutsu and genjutsu
-extreme sensor abilities (better than karin?)
-frog kata
naruto:
-sage art: great ball rasengan (two great ball rasengans held, one to each shadow clone)
-sage art: rasengan barrage (two regular sized rasengan in two hands)
-sage art: super great ball rasen tarengan (dozens of shadow clones each holding a great ball rasengan)
____
rikudo mode characteristics:
general:
-increased speed (possibly greater than sage mode)
-shorter time limit and restricted shadow clone usage
-its quicker to enter rikudo mode than sage mode
-ability to sense negative emotions
naruto:
-rasenkyugan (chakra arms grab enemies into a central giant rasengan)
-rasenrangan (chakra arms thrust several rasengan into several surrounding enemies)
-mini rasenshuriken (self explanitory - unknown if naruto can do this without rikudo mode, and if it is a wind style technique or not)

I think sage mode has better general characteristics, but naruto has made better jutsu with rikudo mode. I definitely don't think one far outclasses the other. What I really hope kishi tells us is if kyuubi mode is faster than sage mode.
