What else do you use to defend yourself, Playa?
The point is not that he defend himself, it was that he literally not got the opposite to fight back, he was worried about the attacks so much that he changed his fightstyle and avoid to get hit by Guy, with shows that his attacks been enough to hurt Madara to a point to defend himself so much.
The most significant damage he sustained is a chipped horn about the size of the last knuckle on your pinkie lol. Definition of fresh.
Dude can´t barely stand bro:
Clearly not fresh, he was damaged badly.
He literally was about to low diff 8 Gates if it wasn't for Minato's warp to save Gai's life
Madara was allowing himself to get hit instead of actually fighting Might Gai. He was constantly asking for more and made no aggressive moves against Gai after this attack. Why do you think he didn't use more Truth Seeking Orbs or Limbo Clones lol?
He can´t have more truth seeking orbs, the one which Minato took been down, in the end Madara only had one.
And pre shinjuu Madara only could used one Limbo, not four.
Limbo has not the reactionspeed to protect Madara from Night Guy.
Minato part is true but also Guy know he had them as backup, he attack Madara directly because Minato said him to do it.
Otherwise this was the result of the begin of the battle:
Don't be dishonest. Madara has suffered next to no damage here and is egging Gai on. Superficial bleeding and a chipped horn, once again the size of an adult's last knuckle of a pinkie finger chipped off.
As I said he could barely stand, bleeding hard and had a chipped horn(juubi durability), Madara is the one who hype the punch and want to avoid to take attacks, that are not my words but Madara own one, he literally fear to take them a head bro.
Means it damaged him badly otherwise why he should say something like that?
And as I said these shockwaves are nothing in compare what Luffy did with Bajrung gun...
You mean the guys boosted by the Sage of Six path's chakra?
Even before, Juubito was damaged by them without them having six path chakra, sage chakra was enough.
Guy literally make Madara split blood, body damaged by fucking shockwaves without having any six path chakra or sage chakra...
