My point was that the Susanoo is being countered. It doesn't really matter if it is partially absorbed, absorbed in 5 seconds or in 25 seconds. All that matters is that Susanoo is countered and can't be used in its entire force. In the fight against Kaguya the Sasuke's Susanoo was partially absorbed to the degree that it negated its attack. Against Momoshiki Sasuke didn't use Susanoo to attack. He used it to defend and to cover Kurama, and that's it. In my fight explanation I included Susanoo being used, not surprisingly for defense purposes most times.

The "Sasuke is blitzing Nagato" is a stupid theory, sorry guys. This is Naruto we are talking about, in Naruto there are no "ultimate" techniques and any technique even the simplest one can be proven to be useful. For instance the pervert technique Naruto used against Kaguya and Zetsu's comment during Sasuke's fight against Itachi that a rock from a master is a stronger weapon against a kunai used by a novice. Last but not least Itachi's comment that every jutsu has its weaknesses (and I'd add limitations). So regardless how fast Sasuke is, Nagato with BOTH Rinnegan and strong sensory abilities would be able to dodge these attacks or at the very least negate them to a degree and escape serious damage. It is stupid to think that Nagato would just sit there and do nothing.

Speaking of Hagoromo, a healthy Nagato has both Rinnegan (albeit not his), AND the Uzumaki chakra. So he has both halves of Hagoromo's power, albeit not at their fullest. Sasuke on the other hand has only a part of one half of Hagoromo's power. That is he doesn't have the chakra he has the Rinnegan part, but only one rinnegan not two. And that is during the fight with Kaguya. So the debate whether or not he kept all his powers after this fight is not relevant. Even if he kept them, he still had less than Nagato. The only advantage he had was that he was Indra's reincarnation and the rinnegan was his. The last part not so important as all that implies is that Nagato needs more chakra to use his rinnegan than Madara, which Nagato can do cause he has huge reserves of chakra.

EDIT I forgot something. The Susanoo used against Obito was a sage variation of it being "manned" by three persons. So this fight is nowhere near indicative
