When comparing a live character to a dead character...

[Perlmutter]

I have seen many people making the current Kakashi > Itachi arguement for various reasons, I still maintain the view that Itachi is superior due to Tsukyomi, but that isn't the point of this thread, the point is this.

If one person is dead, compare the live persons skills to the time when the other was alive, their upgrades post-death of the other person is not valid in their matchup​

No, compare them at their prime*, And dont use the argument X>Itachi because Itachi is dead.

*Unless it's Hiruzen, Then compare them by feats.
