That's not the point. Imagine if Konohameru learned Edo Tensei and then managed to scrub some of Kaguya's DNA. We then call a versus debate of Konohameru versus, say, SPSM naruto. Konohameru would normally die in a fraction of a second, but he Edo Tensei's Kaguya to fight.

Can you then truly say that the battle is "konohameru vs Naruto"? because at that point, the only debate of importance is "edo kaguya vs SPSM naruto" and Konohameru's not really a factor in that at all.

Ergo, Edo Tensei isn't really something that fits a versus debate (unless OP specifies a certain Edo Tensei). Especially since canonically, all edo tensei both Orochimaru and Kabuto possessed have been undone and so officially neither possesses anything or anyone to Edo Tensei, making Edo Tensei a jutsu that can either summon an army or nobody depending on where you're standing. Furthermore, some of the strongest like Madara or Hashirama would simply break free and quit the fight or even turn on their summoner for putting them under Edo Tensei. Yes, it is. It's part of the users abilities since edo tensei shinobi are practically akin to that of a summoning. It has been said to be a variant of the summoning jutsu, anyways. Unless Summoning shouldn't be considered in a matchup? The edo tensei being stronger than the user, is irrelevant once you understands those points i typed.

This is why edo tensei should be banned in versus matches. Since it's usually an unfair advantage.
