Sasuke never tried himself to stop the limbo's he went after the real Madara. DB4 and manga statements put the order as Hashirama = Prime Hiruzen > EMS Madara = Tobirama > MS Izuna. Madara is not nearly equal with Hashirama, Hashirama simply never wanted to kill him, not until that last minute where he gave his kill speech.
