I was referring to the bold, hagoromo's senjutsu puts kakashi's susanoo above madara's, not just his chakra.
What are you saying? Kakashi never had Senjutsu, he specifically stated Rikudo's chakra enhanced his abilities to that extent.
Not with rikudou's senjutsu at itachi's disposal, his PS will always be superior to madara's, not even mentioning the weapons. Contending isn't the question, the question is can madara last against a susanoo that is better equipped & stronger? & the answer is no.
Better equipped and stronger isn't exactly going to win him this battle.
The difference in power is not that large. I've already explained Madara has very sufficient amount of the chakra, he would not be able to control the Rinnegan if not, Obito couldn't even while being a Juubi Jinchuriki and that was only one eye, in the hands of it's original owner, the power is undoubtedly much more powerful than you are assuming it to be (stated by Obito himself).
Add Hashirama's Senjutsu on top of all this, and he should be around the same level when it comes to PS in durability and offensive power.
Having Totsuka and Yata doesn't particularly make him invincible as Black Zetsu stated, when the Yata was equipped on the v4 Susano'o, it had an omnidirectional defense, but it has to spread, therefore attacks can be made throughout the Susanoo's huge body.
As I said, with hagoromo's chakra itachi will have no problem defending against limbo attacks, & yata ensures that no damage is taken. Meanwhile even a swipe of totsuka can level the clones.
A swipe will not defeat the clones, as far as we know and what the DB stated, the target needs to be pierced to seal, Limbo clones are not at risk of being sealed. Also, he would need to be at ground level to swipe them, and if he is ground level, he isn't using PS.
No feats suggest that madara can maintain PS & utilize the full power of his rinnegan abilities simultaneously, if madara fights with PS, he gets overpowered, if he fights with the rinnegan then totsuka will eventually pierce him, or cut him to pieces.
Susano'o helped cast Tengai Shinsei (a product of Bansho Ten'nin and one of Deva Path's greatest powers). He may not be able to cast all his jutsu, but he isn't restricted to the extent you imply he is.
Sage's senjutsu grants itachi sensing as well, plus sharingan precog which madara has no access to due to the rinnegan. Mokuton gets cut down, black rods get burned or better yet itachi can touch them due to having hagoromo's chakra, so they're useless
.
I concede on this point, though Madara is still superior in CQC.
CQC isn't happening, susanoo prevents that & yata guarantees it. Madara's only chance is to use CBT but that's if he can even trap a flying PS that can move at speeds on par with kaguya [using kakashi's/sasuke's PS feats with the sage's chakra as a basis]
.
Sasuke recieved 50% of Hagoromo's chakra where we are unaware of how much Kakashi obtained, and if I had to guess, it wasn't even close to half in Kakashi's case. However, if we are applying other feats for Susano'o, than logically speaking Madara should be able to do the same, he couldn't as an ET because that is not his full power, nor is it a real Rinnegan as stated in the manga.
Kaguya is faster than PS by the way.
Then obito starts feinting, as I said the only one coming out of this battle of attrition is obito since he logically has superior reserves. If itachi keeps trying to cut down trees or fake trees then he will ultimately be the one suffering from chakra exhaustion.
You think Obito is going to survive his own explosion if no Goudama are protecting him? That's what happens, his Goudama get carved open and leave him vulnerable.
-Madara is superior in CQC, despite Itachi having the ability to touch Yin-Yang rods and sense, coupled with his Sharingan precog. This is due to the fact that he has sensory abilities, regenerative abilities, Limbo, Mayfly and Mokuton clones + abilities.
-Madara has a superior arsenal, with the full power of the Rinnegan and Hashirama's arsenal at his disposal, he undoubtedly has a great chance in ending Itachi.
-The difference in the strength of both PS isn't large enough to warrant a victory.
Though, we can agree to disagree, I'm logging out for the night.
