I'm thinking, there's got to be more strategies that could succeed here. The kage aren't kage simply because they have powerful jutsu; they are kage because they are highly intelligent. And there are twenty-eight of them; some, like Kakashi and Sarutobi, have exceptional ninjutsu analytical ability. Others, like the Raikage and early Hokage, have fantastic war instincts. And I can't help but believe that more than just Minato and Hashirama possess usable senjutsu.

Even if it's only taijutsu that works, we have Tsunade's Strength of a Hundred, and the Raikage's can blitz him with fantastic strength and speed. Hashirama can use a widespread senjutsu enhanced Wood Release: Advent of a World of Flowering Trees to attempt rendering Madara unconcious, all while Minato strikes him with a senjutsu enhanced Big-Ball Rasengan, or stabs two of his special kunai into seperate parts of Madara and teleporting them to different places; Kakashi also has Kamui, which could be used to banish Madara entirely or perhaps remove arms, legs, or even his head. Yagura, and his ability to use a water release mirror jutsu that returns the user's attack back on them... for Madara, that's deadly stuff.

The more I think about it, the more I believe it's very possible Madara could lose here. I mean, jeez. Twenty-eight masterclass kage, so many jutsu to use strategically.
