Taijutsu was the only option since all their ninjutsu would have been rendered useless as stated by sasuke himself.
Again, it did barely anything to Momoshiki besides pressuring him for a bit. Momoshiki was only close to being beaten by the physical slash of Iso Kurama, and was later truly beaten by a ninjutsu offensive move. Taijutsu makes no difference aside from prepping the field for a ninjutsu attack.

their adult forms are physically far superior to their VOTE forms. and if momo was matching both of them. then he clobbers both of them here in a taijutsu fight.
Which is why I said direct CQC isn't an option either, aside from the tactic.
ARGUS said:
having BPS and ashura avatar only increases their firepower which is even worse since momo will return it back at them tenfold
Did you even read my post? They'll only be firing those attacks after they're sure Momoshiki can't absorb them, otherwise you're saying they're idiots since your OP states this is full intel.
ARGUS said:
and if constructs like PS and kurama avatar really worked against momo then they would have done that.
Which they did. That taijutsu fight was mostly for the show. Can you honestly say what exactly that accomplished in way of defeating Momoshiki? He managed to fend them off and then, while he was perfectly fine, started attacking with ninjutsu. Naruto and Sasuke responded and one-shotted his golem with a non-ninjutsu attack, while Momo was like this after taking an indirect slash:

That's not a dynamic shot of him, by the way, meaning he was actually floating in the air stunned. It's when Sasuke actually devised a strategy on beating him that taijutsu started mattering, and it was all in order to allow for a ninjutsu finisher.
ARGUS said:
and not waited to only use them against the lava golem
Lol, let me ask you this: what would have made a better show, a nicely made hand-to-hand sequence to capitalize on the fact ninjutsu doesn't work, or if Sasuke just started spamming PS slashes and Naruto swinging his tails at Momo. I mean, both of those options aren't ninjutsu. Naruto and Sasuke only used their avatars to counter all the ninjutsu Momoshiki started dishing out. And then they slashed once, Momo screamed and was at the very least staggered. Afterwards, he was
rejuvenated by that one guy's barrage of elemental attacks. So how does he tank multiple slashes and tail swings, exactly?
ARGUS said:
they could only accomplish such thing because adult sasuke was fast enough to pressure momo such that this strategy could work.
Uh, no. This is what Sasuke did.
- Jumped in the air far away from Momo and threw his sword
- Momo dodged
- Sasuke warped and was smacked away
Exactly what in that short sequence counts as Sasuke pressuring Momoshiki? You're saying VoTE Sasuke is so below Adult Sasuke that he can't even throw a sword, swap with it and act as a distraction? Sasuke pressured Momoshiki when he and Naruto charged for the CQC fight, and later alone, but after the strategy he didn't even exchange a single blow with him. VoTE Sasuke also evades the chakra rods Momo shot out with relatively the same ease.
ARGUS said:
not to mention that momo can just avoid CQC, adn just go for mid/long range combat where he nukes the hell out of them.
Nukes them with what exactly? Unless you're assuming he has already absorbed some of their attacks, which won't be the case since Naruto and Sasuke know better, nothing he's displayed from the movie can attempt to bust Ashura Avatar or BPS. That, and the fact that Sasuke can warp with BPS across mountain-ranges [

], and assuming Ashura Avatar can fly at a respectable speed, renders any of the threat left by ''nukes'' zero.
ARGUS said:
then theres also ST that can push them away to stop them from getting the rinnegan
Even though he has never, ever displayed even a single Six Paths ability, unlike every other Rinnegan user, he can use ST now? Okay, he has two Rinnegans... on his palms. Not really accepting this. Also, even if the above weren't true, that still doesn't matter - he never used it in the movie, therefore he won't use it here. IC, remember?
ARGUS said:
intel is full, thus he knows that his summons stand no chance.
Without his summons to distract the Avatars and take the brunt of the blows how will he even handle multiple mountain-cutters coming his way?
ARGUS said:
naruto and sasuke cant hurt momo if he decides to absorb their constructs
Gonna go ahead and use your own quote: ''if absorbing their constructs really worked against Naruto and Sasuke, he would've done that". Instead of make a golem to fight, why not just insta-absorb Iso Kurama and call it a day (the fuсk did he think a punch from that thing would've done, by the way?). I know that in theory it should be possible, even though, again, I don't see how sucking up a standard TBB from B (his best absorbtion feat) is the same as absorbing gigantic avatars made from way more chakra. Point is - he never did it, or even attempted it in the movie, not to mention Momo has to get close to the Avatars to initiate the absorbtion, and good luck with that.
ARGUS said:
and they cant tank his attacks without them
The Avatars aren't going anywhere.
ARGUS said:
>ninjutsu is useless as stated in canon unless they want to get obliterrated
Already said they're gonna use it only after his left arm is neutralized. I'm not even touching up on the fact that absorbing Indra's Arrow + Dual FRS with NE from the planet is
far-fetched as hell, but whatever.
ARGUS said:
their physical attacks and non ninjutsu attacks are too weak to have an affect
Even though you yourself said taijutsu was the only option, now you're saying they're too weak? Or did you mean VoTE Naruto and Sasuke's strength isn't enough? Because it wasn't enough for Adult Naruto and Sasuke either, which is what I said in my earlier quotes - that taijitsu battle accomplished and did very little to Momoshiki.
ARGUS said:
taijutsu results in them getting overwhelmed.
Their only CQC encounter that'd matter would be the strategy's execution, one short brawl would be enough for Naruto and Sasuke to know they can't match him in taijutsu, but not enough for them to get killed only by it. Sasuke then makes the same strategy, throws his sword, swaps with it, manages to distract Momoshiki long enough for Naruto to cut/impale the Rinnegan - gg. Boruto's freaking shadow clone did it. RSM Naruto is doing it no matter what. VoTE Sasuke can definitely throw his sword and use Ameno, so he can do it just as easily.
This is honestly only possible because of your conditions. You pretty much made this a perfect match for Naruto and Sasuke:
Distance: 40m - enough to not get blitzed
Intel: Full - meaning they won't get bombarded with their own attacks amplified by ten
Mindset: IC - the most important part. This literally means Momoshiki will only do what he has displayed in the movie,
in that exact same way. There won't be any Shinra Tensei. There won't be any Avatar absorbtion. There won't be any ''keeping his distance and throwing nukes", lol. What you're talking about is a non-IC debate where we decide what the character does and how he does it. Unless you show me screens of IC Momoshiki throwing nukes from a distance, using techniques he never displayed or absorbing Avatars, none of that matters.
Remove any of those prerequisites and Naruto and Sasuke lose.
