Re: Those who believe Prime Hiruzen > Hashirama; How do you explain this comment?
They were toying with him in the genjutsu...
As soon as he was in it, they could have killed him... stay from afar and use long range jtusu.... But they came up close and used taijutsu...
That's not really the point I was trying to make, I was referring to the bold part, you said "the Edo Tensei's weren't weaker" which is true however, what I am trying to prove here is the fact how the Hokages may have not been at full power in the battle to begin with, if they have the ability to toy with their enemies (Orochimaru controlling them high likely) then why isn't possible for them to toy with Hiruzen before.
And if it is the case of Orochimaru controlling the Edo Tensei's then that can mean that the Hokages are infact weaker because of how Orochimaru doesn't know what they're fully capable of (abilities and techniques) aside from their "famous" attacks like for example Hashirama Senju's Jukai Koutan, it's obvious you yourself know more about others know about you.
Anyhow I really can't think today so chances that I didn't make any sense is really big, I'm really tired.
