Looking at @CursemarkSenjutsu's arguments here I'm noticing three main points (correct me if I'm wrong). You're saying that, Hebi Sasuke is 'smarter' than MS Sasuke. He is as fast as V1 Raikage and Gaara's Lightweight Sand as he can dodge Amaterasu. His CM gives him a power amp that MS Sasuke can't deal with.

First off, do you think that Hebi Sasuke would be able to beat the Raikage? The Raikage easily beat Jugo's Level 2 state, which is comparable to Sasuke's CM 2. Hebi Sasuke has no defense that can withstand the Raikage's power. The Susano'o is the literal absolute defence. If you want to say that Hebi Sasuke will just stay back and wait, then there's nothing stopping MS Sasuke from deactivating it and giving chase. You also said that Itachi's Susano'o is more complete, which is wrong. In the fight with Danzo, MS Sasuke reaches the armoured Susano'o, which is the same stage Itachi was on.

The biggest point you're ignoring here is that MS Sasuke knows EVERYTHING about Hebi Sasuke, making him the smarter one here. Maybe Hebi Sasuke knows about Amaterasu but that's it. He has no clue about Kagatsuchi or the Susano'o. MS Sasuke also knows how to counter the eight branches technique. He doesn't even need the Totsuka Blade to kill the giant kaiju snake.

The curse mark is good, yeah, but there's no way in hell it compares to sage mode, which MS Sasuke could fight against and probably scales to. Your arguments are merely based on hypotheticals. *Maybe* CM 2 Sasuke can dodge Amaterasu point blank with killing intent. *Maybe* he can avoid Susano'o. *Maybe* he can out think MS Sasuke. All MS Sasuke needs to do is catch Hebi Sasuke off guard with Amaterasu and gg. CM 2 Sasuke has no speed feats that are major or on the level of V1 Raikage.

In my opinion, whoever Hebi Sasuke beat, MS Sasuke could beat, but the same doesn't apply vice-versa, proving that MS Sasuke is superior to Hebi Sasuke.
