Madara is not faster than sage mode hashriama most likely, at best they are even. And also I highly doubt madara had better intelligence, as if he had enough to close the gap he wouldn't have lost twice, nor would have he brought the nine tails as he should know mokuton > bijuu. To be frank, madara has not shown battle intelligence. He has battle experience which should not be confused with intelligence. It was made clear tobirama was the smartest of the 3. Madara just over powers people, overpowered the alliance with meteors, overpowered the 5 kages with perfect susanoo, overpowered naruto and sasuke with chibaku tensi and limbo clones... dont get me wrong madara isnt dumb, he is very skilled, but his fighting style is bent on overpowering people, no wonder he can't beat hashriama because hashriama wins in a battle of strength.
