Ninja Of War wrote: Decapitation..., With respect that isn't exactly an answer. By that logic most of the versus debates could just be won by stating than the one decapitates the other. Taking into account their battle styles, I rather would look at the fight like this, Kisame charges with his gigantic sword, Tobirama dodges and counters with a water based jutsu. Kisame matches him with one of his own, Tobirama gets in close and secretly marks Kisame. Tobirama then uses FTG and delivers a fatal wound. Tobirama would then think he'd won, Kisame regenerates and wounds Tobirama and then Kisame has the advantage. Following your scenario, a wounded Tobirama realises that his opponent can heal from most injuries. So the only option is decapitation. Kisame is already marked. All Tobirama needs to do is distract Kisame long enough to get an opening, and then decapitate him. Tobirama has the smarts to do it. In fact, he's one of the smartest shinobis in the entire series. Madara particularly noted Tobirama's tactic of letting his opponents think that they had secured an advantage over him, only to be caught off-guard in the very next instant by Tobirama's surprise attact (usually using FTG). So off goes Kisame's head.

P.S. I highly doubt Tobirama would be injured by Kisame's surprise attack after regeneration. He has very fast reflexes, has FTG, and is a sensor. He can easily sense Kisame's repleneshing chakra, and has the reflexes to dodge almost anything Kisame can throw in his way. Remember, this is the guy that killed Izuna Uchiha, an MS user who was said to be equal to MS Madara. A highly experienced shinobi like Tobirama isn't going to fall for Kisame's deception that easily, considering the fact that deceit is one of Tobirama's main tactics, as stated by Madara.
