When did I ever imply that Preta Path could absorb taijutsu? Given that taijutsu doesn't require chakra, Preta Path would be ineffective. This is where Deva Path would come in. Preta Path can absorb the chakra out of a users body. Its already been stated that Preta Path can absorb any type of chakra and the databook makes it out to be limitless.
You say we're trying to discount the manga, look at yourself. Where has it said anywhere that Hashirama was stronger than Edo Madara? I'll wait for the manga scan that explicably states this. This is what the title implies and what you all imply, that Hashirama > Edo Madara. Yet Hashirama hasn't fought Edo Madara so don't give me that bullshit about us nitpicking at the manga. That's what you're doing, making assumptions as to who would win. Given that they haven't fought, its necessary for debate about the issue. At best, its inconclusive as to who would win given that we aren't Kishi. So please, spare us that pompous attitude. I'm no more wrong than you are.
I know the abilities of Preta Path, however you are applying them in ways not seen or even suggested like your theories on how it would stop Mokuton, furthermore Taijutsu is fueled by chakra just like any other jutsu in the world of Naruto, the shinobi with the best chakra control are shown to be exceptional in Taijutsu as they can build their chakra up and release it at the perfect point to enhance their strength & speed (Tsunade, A, etc...), if Preta Path can absorb the chakra from physical material as casually as you put it, then even Taijutsu would be useless against the Preta Path as Madara could just absorb the chakra from the blows of these shinobi rendering them moot, yet this has never been seen or even suggested & in fact in moments we have seen Preta Path go against direct physical attacks regardless if it was Taijutsu or elemental based(Gaara's sand) it has failed with the only exception being Killer Bee's Lariat as Nagato absorbed his chakra shroud, not to mention it has weaknesses as the properties of the chakra absorbed effect the user thus in cases where Hashirama's Mokuton is fueled by natural chakra, the Rinnegan user will be turned to stone if it absorbs said chakra as seen in the manga during Pain's battle with Naruto during his invasion.
I am not suggesting he is necessarily stronger than Madara as an Edo in fact I believe he is more or less equals given Edo Madara's own statements about his own power compared to the living Hashirama let alone the Edo version of him, I only debated flawed assumptions & theories on why Edo Madara was stronger just because of the Rinnegan as he no longer has the full power Kurama to aid him, which at half power is fueling the Alliance's efforts against Obito & Madara's Rinnegans & Mokuton + was powerful enough to break free of Pain's Chibaku Tensei at only 8-Tails, not once did I suggest Hashirama was stronger. I then pointed out the hypocrisy of your "low standards" comments given you blatantly admit you ignore excerpts from the manga (which will always carry more weight than any fan's opinion) in favor of your own opinion.
Pay closer attention to what I am actually saying before assuming my intent.shodaimeicon:
