I mean if you think about it Hashirama is known for his powerful wood techs.
Okay now what is the number one enemy of TREES??? FIRE. What burns down a forest in seconds??? FIRE. Isnt Madara one of the strongest Uchiha + he had the 9 tails on his side...what ever happened to just spamming fire techs all day and burning down Hashirama..I mean I dont get how with a matchup like this Madara coulve lost.
I mean...Madara has Fire release...!!!!
EDIT: Since no one seems to get it... I am in no way saying that Madara is stronger than Hashirama I am just saying he had a slight elemental advantage and the 9 tails on his side which can only give him ahigher chance of winning. YET HE STILL LOST. My question is how the fuq does Madara lose with such an advantage when they were both considered equal in terms of skill.
EDIT2: Poll added just to see what people think, since everyone seems to be overrating the 1st to no end.
according to how you say it : Madara must be way stronger : but remember that Hashirama has Suiton , which cancels the Katon : so it just depends on When will the user use his Attack
about susanoo : actually it's weird to admit it but people who can break through susanoo are eventually : Tsunade and Hashirama : JUST THEM AND I KNOW what i am sayin (last phrase is for the Flamers who will charge in saying "Raikage" and such, Raikage did this because they were many against one so madara couldn't concentrate on one individually ! and you have to admit it : Madara is hell Strong if he can stand the 5 kages till now and about to win this ! ) Hashimara can beat susanoo with fist attack and with Mokuton : by using Jekkai Kotan and using the wooden atmosphere to get out madara from susanoo.
on the other hand : we haven't yet seen madara's use of the Armored susanoo (the one like the susanoo sasuke has right now) meanwhile we haven't seen the armored susanoo getting breached from outside in : so till now : we know that This susanoo can't be breached

) so two possibilities : 1 - madara doesn't have it : which makes sasuke stronger than Him # kinda weird
2 - Madara used it against Hashirama and he got madara out using Mokuton !
these are the possible scenraios
^ Finally !!!!! it has been a time i was saying this : characters win because Kishi want them TO ! even though they were weaker : i mean naruto could 've lost to konan and nagato instantly # no chakra left # instead they Let him win !! +rep ! at last Someone reasonable
