But the test at the beggining aka the pre ritual brawl is a fight o.0
the little brawl of sasuke vs oro before he started the ritual was a fight,
you're right, it's obvious he got shut down before literally anything could be done..but you still have to consider that as a fight...the deidara vs itachi was wasn;t it?

Look at Orochimaru's leg.. 1 is infront.. indicating he was making a step forward the moment the genjutsu hit him... As I said...Itachi wouldn't attack for no reason .. unless he was sure the person intended harm to him..
yes, there was a pre-ritual encounter, this being it. But as you said, it's shown that Orochimaru is stepping up to bang, face-to-face. For all we know this was a "you ready to get ****ed up situation" and Itachi just put his ass in genjutsu before anything happened.
As shown against Deidara he was wrapped with his own technique, here we see nothing surrounding Orochimau (snakes). Orochi obviously just understaffed Itachi, as he himself was surprised that he was caught so effortlessly.
