if kishi let him use his rinnegan and PS? His rinnegan with almighty push alone would've beaten sasuke and naruto would've been in IT. He would've killed everyone.
I think the freezing technique is done by using his Limbo. May be the clone caught him in mid air. And since both Madara and Nagato possessed the same eyes, their jutsus should be identical too. I think Madara didn't like his rinnegan powers except Gakido.
