Ok first off im not saying he isnt powerful. All im syaing is that he might not be as powerful as we think.EDIT:this is a previous post of mines.
Reason 1:
Lately we have been seeing a couple of hashirama's techs through madara's fight with the kages.

As seen in this link is the flower world tech madara used to put the kages to sleep. As you can see it was massive.
Though of course ahashirama can use this tech too we cant be sure if he could use it on this scale without it greatly affecting his chakra supply. So we have no idea to how much chakra these tech takes out of hashirama.
Edo madara seems to have unlimited chakra resources(as well as the other edos)We have only seen two edos get tired which is muu and the mizukage. I mean madara dropped two meteors with ease.
I know people are going to say that the hashi cells give him the boost but if that was the case then why did danzo have to use izangi to boost his chakra supply.

as seen here even with hashi's cells his chakras still plummeted. And there would be no reason for tobi to be worried about wasting chakra.

Reason 2: People automatically assume that he is powerful just because he fought the fox and ems madara at the same time make him the most powerful shinobi.
Well this isnt exactly true.The wood element is perfect for sealing jutsu and suppresing chakra.

as seen here yamato was able to stop four tails with barely breaking a sweat. And he gets tired after doing this

and this also proves my point in reason 1 that hashi's cells dont automatically give people huge chakra reserves.
And even yamato said he is nowhere near hashi's lvl so imagine how easy it could have been for hashi to do this with the nine tails. So it could have been basically hashi vs madara the majority of the fight.Even kushina was able to hold down the fox even after having it taken out of her and after giving birth.
Reason 3: Nothing but hype! people assume that just beacuase kabuto said there is no one on his lvl anymore that he is the most powerful of all time. Well if that was true then why did he die.....

as seen here he was young when he died(not 20s young maybe between thirty or fourty years old) So he had to be killed.People have started to overate him.They say he could beat the 5 kage at onceor all three sanin.
Think about it...if he really was that powerful then how did madara survive against him in their previous fights when he only had MS and no fox. How did kakuza survive against him.(well kakauza could have tricked him like he did kakashi).
