I wasn't even specifically speaking about you. You're not the only one who said Madara. It was a general response. Regardless, you can't base Madara's Taijutsu ability on something that never actually happened (Filler in the anime).

You have a point, but it's not like we see much of the close range fights in the manga. :(

my List

1.) Gai Gates with taijutsu
2.) Naruto SM taijutsu or Minato Taijutsu with Teleportation
3.)Lee same as guy i think he can go up to 7 or 6
4.) Raikage or Tsuande
These 5 All specialize in close range combat and ALWAYS try to stay close.

Madara is good at taijutsu you think Hashi could have not do what madara did or naruto
Tajutsu of a kage level Ninja > Fodders

Did you forget that his taijutsu in the manga was also superb? Not much was shown, but definitely don't count him out.

I'm not really counting him out.

But do you have scans for your claims?

That's because in the current situation we have Demi-Gods and Gods (Hashirama, Madara, Obito, Naruto) just firing off massive attacks. Taijutsu would be futile in the face of such monstrous and superior techniques.

I'm surprised only one person has mentioned Obito. How can you hit something if you phase through it? One touch and he'll either warp you with Kamui or rip your soul out with Human Path.

Who in your opinion is the best fighter when it comes to close combat fighting? Basically Taijutsu, but with other close range attacks.

I'm stuck between choosing Naruto in Sage Mode, and Might Guy, as they both are great at fighting at close range.

Might Gai even admitted back in chuunin exams that Rock Lee's taijutsu is superior to his.

Anybody who says Madara literally has a false opinion. The Taijutsu in the Anime was entirely filler.

No the managa just can't be bothered drawing all that ****ing taijutsu alone obviously. The anime is usually the manga's intentions..

Yes, but comparing part 1 Guy, to the Might Guy right now, it's a huge change. I can't see Lee going head to head with Bijuu like Guy did with Kakashi.

IMO: Tsunade, Lee, 3rd and 4th Raikage and Bee. I would have said Neji but I don't think hes quite as good as Lee. Kimimaro is also amazing for a plain 'Naruto' character. Madara IF you include the anime. There are more but I think these are probably the best :)

Hmm. I see your point. But it wasn't "as good" as someone like Gai, Lee or SM Naruto so to speak. Hell, even Sasuke is probably better.

Based upon manga feats I agree, Madara does not seem to be as high as the ones you mentioned. Sure he might be a great fighter, and could easily defeat Gai or Lee, but it wouldn't be with close range combat.

This proves your point.

I don't care if it's filler. Even if that's the case, Madara has superb taijutsu feats i have no doubt about that in my mind. Why shouldn't Madara be a good close ranged fighter? Madara has been a participant in wars in his glory days. But since it's a filler i'll make you happy. If Madara can do what he did in that filler. Madara is one of the top close ranged fighters in the series.

I understand that, but we're not going by just speed, we're going by how powerful his attacks can be as well.

So if studio pierrot makes a filler about sakura beating sasuke up with taijutsu only, would be legit? or canon material?

I'm not completely discrediting him as a Taijutsu fighter at all. But to compare to him monsters like Lee and Gai? I don't think so.

This has been answered, while Madara may be a great fighter, majority of his abilities do not involve close range fighting. The characters that were mentioned are superior to Madara in that aspect, but not overall as a fighter.
