Right, and because Hashirama never showed such versatility in a fight where he was being controlled, it means that he lacks such versatility, and can only make forests amirite?
I suppose since Tobirama can only do two Water techs, he really isn't one of the best & well-known Water Style users in that universe.
Plus that one forest creation tech was powerful enough to make Hiruzen shit his pants.

Oh, you mean the part where I didn't leave out that he was a shell of his former self?And...you're glossing over the part where he accomplished, in that fight, what he set out to do. Planning from the shadows was the goal, all along.
No, I mean the part where Hashirama made him a shell of his former self.
Irrelevant. We're discussing power, not planning & goals.

It's interesting that you think there's a large difference because he still had control of the Kyuubi and still was quite formidable.It's actually baseless to assume how much stronger his old form was over his current shell. We don't even know what that means. His eyes are still in tact. We know he amassed quite a few eyes since that fight. So he may just have lower chakra levels and that's it.
Fact is, a planning calculating Madara lost to Minato but "won" against Hashirama. Regardless of his state, Madara still had his eyes and control over the Kyuubi.
It's interesting you think there isn't a large difference, as you stated otherwise in another thread, while Kyuubi was a non-factor in the true battle against Minato. kruemelmonsteryn0
Him still being formidable in no way means that he was slightly more or just as formidable in the past.
Not entirely baseless, as we have Madara's statements, and one of Onoki's, to back it up. Compared to his pre-Rinnegan form, Prime Madara was implied to be far better, much like an entire Walnut would be when compared to the Walnut's shell.
Fact is, the Madara that lost to Minato, and the Madara that "won" against Hashirama, were completely different with regards to power. Your 'planning' avenue is a nice strawman BTW. If we were to use your 'planning' avenue to justify power, we would come to the conclusion that Sasuke w/o Orochimaru absorbed >> KN4 Naruto, and Konan <= Minato.
Go back and check again. Against Minato, he had, or rather used, one eye and no Kyuubi for the bulk of the fight. Against Hashirama, he had two EMS eyes and the Kyuubi.
Proof is in the collateral damage. Minato vs. Madara resulted in a small crater. Hashirama vs. Madara resulted in an entire valley.

Sure, we know that...but for being such the "beast" controller, he was missing quite a few beasts. If Madara had no attacked Konoha (the first time), Konoha would not have gotten the kyuubi...at least at that time. So, basically, Madara handed over the tailed beast to Hashirama. Also part of his plan? maybe
I see no proof that he lacked a number of the Bijuu when he started trading them. 'Several' implies that he had the majority of them.
Madara supposedly handing over Kyuubi is irrelevant.

Yes he did. Kushina is the second hottest redhead in Naruto: fact.Hashirama did not land the hottest. She's the ugliest female redhead: fact.
Oh, you were referring to redheads?
Nah. Fact would be Tsunade having large, motorboat worthy jugs. Kushina being second hottest redhead is not fact when anyone can make a case for Nagato or Sasori being the second hottest redhead. uhuh
Also, Mito > Kushina in nearly every way possible, except character dev and kewlness. Fact. So you are wrong. uhuh
