Where are you getting that Oros Edo Tensei was a 40% nerf?

Kakashi mastered tge Chidori but could not use it practically without a Sharingan. Mastery and practical application are 2 different things and very much explains why he decided not utilize techniques that could have saved his life.

Confusion=/=too fast. Orochimaru didnt have a question mark. Surprise doesnt even mean that it cant be reacted to. It happens constantly.

Dan Kato believed that he only person who could fight Madara was Hashirama. Dan was alive to see Hokages 1-3. This puts prime Hiruzen below prime Hashirama. Danzo also said (at least from the translation read) that there was no one greater than Tobirama in the village when he volenteered to be a decoy. Tobirama was faster than Hashirama and Minato was faster than him. Prime Hiruzen did not have the most raw power nor was he the fastest. At best he had the largest arsenal/most jutsu knowledge.
