Madara wins mid to high difficulty. If Nagato is in his prime with his legs, he can be quite bothersome. However, I don't see how he can actually defeat Madara in a battle. The first thing to be brought up is the fact he can absorb Ninjutsu, so he can absorb Susano'o. This is iffy, because the Preta Path has never shown to absorb anything large-scale, at least not when it was used by Nagato. Even if it could, Nagato would have to actually get close to do it. That leaves him open. It would also take a while to absorb the Perfect Susano'o. He couldn't just do it instantly. With all that in mind, I don't think it'll be proficient to absorb Susano'o. I don't see why Madara couldn't attack with a shock wave of a blade swings while Nagato tries that. And there is also the fact that Madara has already dealt with higher-scale Chakra Absorption (Hashirama's Wood Dragons) before. Other than that, everything else gets countered by power. All the Animal Path Summons can be overpowered by the Perfect Susano'o. Even Fire Style can take a majority of them out. The Chameleon can be seen with the Sharingan, because the Sharingan can see camouflage and Chakra Color. After that, it gets taken care of by Fire Style or Perfect Susano'o. The Cerberus could literally just be thrown far away by the Perfect Susano'o. Asura Path Missiles get blocked or dodged. Extra arms from the Asura Path can offer an advantage for Nagato in CCQ. Extra heads help him with vision. Naraka Path isn't really going to help in this battle except for healing Nagato. Human Path would need physical contact to rip out Madara's soul. Most likely won't happen if Madara is in his Perfect Susano'o. Chakra Rods can probably be deflected by the War Fan or dodged. If Madara is hit by them, it may or may not be a win for Nagato depending on whether if Madara can overpower Chakra Rods. Almighty Push most likely can't do much to Perfect Susano'o. Universal Pull can pull Madara out of the Perfect Susano'o, but why couldn't Madara just activate Susano'o again? Catastrophic Planetary Devastation gets destroyed by Perfect Susano'o. Even if Madara is about to die, he can use Izanagi to come back and kill Nagato. He is well-versed in Taijutsu, Genjutsu, and Ninjutsu. Main issue for him is Nagato's huge arsenal of abilities as well as linked vision. Although, I'm confident he could see through all this and defeat Nagato.
