Remember how fast lee is without his leg weights and his gates opened? ... TBB ain't hitting him :L

Lol. Kakashi without Sharingan kept up with his speed. Part 1 speed is overhyped due to our low understanding of a jonin's power. Sasuke moved as the "blink of an eye" in the chuunin exam, but i doubt it would even catch kurenai off guard.

Naruto, Gai, Rock Lee, Hiashi, Ay, 3rd Raikage.

Current BSM Naruto should be an untouchable close combat fighter since he has 3 sensing abilities that are being used simultaneously, and has all the pro's of Sage Mode and Bijuu Mode in one mode.

Off of hype, I completely agree, Naruto would be #1. But I'm kind of aiming on what has been proven, not what we want. :(

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.

Never said Madara was better than Lee and Gai. We all know that Lee and Gai excel in Taijutsu over any Uchiha. What you didn't interpret well was that i didn't compare Madara with Gai and Lee on speed feats. I'm talking about Madara using his Taijutsu which is decent at best. Also it doesn't always matter how fast you're as a ninja. If Madara can do all those moves which im sure of considering that he's in demi-god level. Demi-God doesn't only mean unleashing powerful attacks. It's also means that you're a force to reckoned as well in other areas. Now even if Gai and Lee beat Madara in a battle of Taijutsu. What Madara showed in that filler was an excellent way to repel attacks coming from others. I'm pretty sure that if we talk about combat. Madara could shake their heads a little until it pops off.

Madara would utterly stomp them obviously. But that's not the topic at hand. "Best Close Combat Fighter" is the topic.

Well then i was just making a point that Madara can possibly be one of the greatest combat fighters.

Yes, we had acknowledged him as a great combat fighter earlier in the thread. The only thing that was said to discredit that was that there are people better then him at it, which is true. So no harm done, you are correct, he is a great combat fighter.

Jiraiya stated there have been none to go shoulder to shoulder against Tsunade in Combat.

This is a decent argument :)

Kakashi.

-Light speed blitzed Obito, 3 times in their close quarters match.
-Just as a reminder, we're talking about the same dude who almost smashed down on KCM Naruto hadn't it been for Kakashi warning him.
-God teir reflexes.
-And since Obito solo's nearly the entire NV in close quarters... it only makes sense to say Kakashi.
-Kakashi can also access the gates to boost his speed and power.
-Shadow clone speed blitz spawns on both sides of the opponent and forces them to choose their own death.
-Shadow clone uppercut through the ground.
-Kawarimi uppercut. This move will never fail.
-3T/MS to predict what his opponents will be doing.
-Genjutsu stops anybody dead in their tracks.

Nagato, Asura path+preta path+human path makes him able to counter and kill anything within reach, even edo's, and the summons shared vision means nothing can approach him without being seen, he'd easily topple most of the ppl listed in a close quarters match

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.

dont forget kakashi
