each ninja has different uses

Hiruzen provides dmg buffs to his team, has a round 1 mystry ready he is overall good for Team Instances and Jin rescue. The hiruzen you saw on the vid that cleared pvp fast was stacked one and has more power than his opponent. 5k Madara on the other hand, gives you the ability to remove all shields, buffs and cancels all barriers on both fields, he's perfect for taking out opponents that depends on buffs and barries to fight.

Depend on your goal and situation, you want a faster sage team to guarantee top 3 spot then go for Hiruzen. But if you want to fight people around your power level then pick cool tobi.

PvP wise, hiruzen can beat cool tobi if you stack your hiruzen enough. However the jonin minato - cool tobi duo are also very strong in 1v1 pvp as long as you have higher ini than your opponent,

First of all, don't be impressed too much by Edo Hiruzen players from YouTube.

- Are you top sage player?

Yes, Edo Hiruzen is for you to go around and sweep for fast streak.

No, you can still use him for other role, i.e. support buffs and PvE.

If you're not top sage. He is still useful in team fights i.e. GNW, Ranked Battle and Bond. His 9 units buff is legit. His standard still smacks hard even if he's pos 2. His will passive allows him to be front line a little.

His chase 30 hits combo is not that difficult to achieve, since his mystery already does many hits and not dodgeable. He can still melt your enemy even if he's in support role.

His mystery got countered by Hokage Minato and stacked shield. You need to fight against player with and without Hokage Minato and you'll see damage reduction is very noticeable.

Easy simple Konoha-blitz team, Edo Tensei Team, etc.

Madara 5 Kage

IMO he's more for pvp. Round 2 1-shot. He's great buddy with Bond Minato and Edo Deidara, those who have self-scaling.

His dodge is unlimited but chase ONLY, which it gives advantage to interupt combo.

His mystery can be cc'ed. Vs someone with Itachi Susano you will have hard time.

His chase does a lot of damage, ignores some def and res (+ tag from Minato oh boy).

20-hit Chase is easier to achieve than 30-hit Edo Hiruzen.

I've seen some players used him in GNW. He can be double-edge sword if your enemies hit harder than you.

But which one to go for? Edo Hiruzen, because he's more fun and easier (cheaper) to build team with.

Madara 5 Kage is probably now meta. Effectiveness of Edo Hiruzen doesn't reduce much, because most of time Madara will be pos 2 anyway.

I simply picked Edo Hiruzen, because his utilities are more useful than Madara.

Well look

Madara 5 kage is a support ninja you can't run him 1st pose

and you are looking for a pvp team

I would suggest edo hiruzen simple team blitz team

asuma wb iruka and a ninja with fire barier Earth main

From what i've seen,madara lasts longer,but hiruzen does more damage fully buffed.
