Who said that it has absolute value? I said Lawd Tobi is on the same level as Mads coz he was confident about taking on Mads.If I took it literally then I would have said that Tobi > Mads coz he said he would defeat him.He wasn't cluelessly making such a comment about EMS Madara to say that it holds no value. when someone of Tobirama's intellect says that he can take on someone even after knowing what his enemy is capable of then it means that he is on the same level.Penguins post further proves this point as even Madara was implying that the gap in their skill wasn't that big back then/b4 power ups.
According to manga portrayal Tobirama isn't as hopeless as we have been implying against an EMS user.
You all need to stop overrating Tobirama. There is literally no portrayal that puts Tobirama at or near EMS Madara's level. None at all. Not gonna bother mentioning that the whole statement by Madara referenced BOTH brothers, not just Tobirama.
The Gokage were helpless against Perfect Susanoo. Unless you are telling me Tobirama is somehow portrayed to be above them, then Tobirama is helpless against PS too.
From what we have seen, I doubt a regular Susano'o will cut it. The Gokage dispatched of them, and in my opinion Tobirama/Minato/Hiruzen is above their level. What else puts Madara above Tobirama bar PS?

isn't a regular Susanoo. That is Madara's V4 Susanoo, without legs. It is near the size of Full Kurama.
Even if we go back to Madara's V3 Susanoo, the Gokage never once dispatched this Susanoo on their own nor can they individually take this on and live. So Tobirama being above their level doesn't mean much..that is if you mean individually as there is no chance Tobirama is above the combined Gokage's level.
What portrayal makes clear is that NO ONE was on Hashirama or Madara's level during their time period. No one at all.
