who is best matched against madara?

[Regulus]

I would say Sasuke with EMS/Naruto with Kyuubi Sage Mode

 

[John Constantine]

Sharingan users most likely..

 

[Shoton]

The three Sannins together

 

[Kawagiri]

I can't believe anyone would try to make an educated deduction of who is capable of possibly defeating Madara without knowing Madara's skill set. He has shown earth and Space type jutsu he was decent enough at Taijustu to kick Naruto back into the creek but he really hasn't shown his serious side for anyone to assume who could win. I would like to say Naruto but I would be silly in my guess even if I listed the many reasons why I think he could win from sage mode to everything between that and the will of fire in his repitoire. I would also like to say Sasuke because he is the only one with the Sharingan and KG to sustain the power and achieve EMS but he doesn't even have that yet.

Madara is an unkown and therefore semingly invincible until proven otherwise and soI like the thread but I can't make an educated guess. However there are some KIA shinobi that would dstroy Madara in his prime but if we don't count them I can't say with out sounding utterly rediculous.

technically not the point of the thread... from my understanding it is asking who'd probably stand most chance... from that i just speculated that a space time jutsu or amaterasu may be able to hurt him as the amaterasu sasuke used wasnt intentional otherwise madara could have been in more trouble...
this is a totally hypothetical question and i'm not taking into account madara's offensive capabilities merely who may actually be able to hit him.

and obviously who's best matched against madara for dead people im sure anyone would agree would be
a) sage of 6 paths as created the original jutsus
b) 1st hokage as he beat him once
c) minato who can move very quickly and stopped the 9 tails

bear in mind this is a purely hypothetical question and although most people on here doesn't know the meaning of the word education... some people actually can use their own intelligence to come up with a plausible answer rather than spouting off and dismissing it totally.

fourth hokage

honestly no one is capable of deafeting him at the moment, like the only one i think has any chance would be sasuke if he took Itachis eyes, which after this whole fiasco at the kage meeting sasuke might want to take them. other than that naruto is no where near ready

 

[aTastyCookie]

I Think A combination Of The Nara Clan Like First Fore Example Shikamaru Captures him In That Technique and then itachi(if He Wasn't Really dead) to capture him in a genjutsu.


Or The Nine Tail Fox Because the nine tail fox was captured in madara genjutsu to obey him. but if the nine tails fox manages to not get caught again.

Or Minato if he was not dead

He's hokage level yes he's only displayed defensive moves,but Naruto will need more training I think before he could compete with Madara,also Sasuke and Naruto teaming up to defeat Madara very possible but Madara's powers are yet to be revealed so no one knows for sure.
Madara has to damn powerful if Itachi took into consideration to make amarterasu to activate as soon as Madara trys to look at sasuke with his sharingan.
