Obito outstats him in strength/stamina/durability/regen b/c he has the uchiha bloodline+ hashi cells

Obito was portrayed as faster and quicker due to being portrayed to be able to keep up with kcm naruto. Obito also seemed to be able to blitz kakashi after the mask came off, though it might have been due to kakashi's emotional backlash.

His reflexes with sharingan are pretty high tier, and his mental reactions.

Kakashi possibly equals him intelligence, but doesn't make up for the deficits in all other stats. I don't think they are equals given that.

Fodder is a pretty strong word and is always a relative term really. I think kakashi suffers because he seems to be a plot device for measuring the strength of new foes. It's like wow this new villian could stomp kakashi? Dam the main characters are in trouble. It happened with orochimaru, happened with itachi, it happened with kakazu, it happened with Pein... Lol by the war arc kakashi was so far behind that he needed to have a plot power up to boost his stamina speed and skill with kamui. It also didn't help that he nearly got killed by zabuza in their first fight, though he showed himself to be superior afterwards.

I think my favorite shippuden fight was naruto vs pein, because kakashi tried so hard but failed and I was surprised naruto kept his composure so well. The talk no jutsu was also really strong.
