<p>They mentioned in the latest chapter that Madara is vulnerable to Taijutsu.  Also, as grasshopper said, his overconfidence causes him to drop your guard when dealing with those he thinks are not able to harm him.</p>

No, they said that only those have a chance to hit (because non-physical attacks are 100% useless), so they can **try** to hurt me with Taijutsu. Even Gai's Afternoon Tiger's direct hit didn't really hurt me.

Heh, chance to hit = vulnerable.  Agreed that it's not exactly exploitable though, the same way your ego is.

<p>It does not seem like any of Madara's new abilities have a counter to sound genjutsu, especially when boosted by Senjutsu / Sage mode.  While sound genjutsu and Senjutsu are both very rare, the manga has shown two examples of different techniques of that type being effective against techniques that Madara has recently gained.</p>

<p>The two Sage Toads' sound genjutsu is effective against the Rinnegan.  When Jiraiya had them use it in his battle with Pain, it was able to easily overcome 3 paths of Pain.</p>

<p>Any non-physical attack would be easily absorbed by the Preta Rinnegan path. There aren't <s>m</s>any ultra-powerful genjutsu ninja who can hope to trap him in a genjutsu for more than 2 seconds. And in the offshoot that something does hurt him, he'd just regenerate. He's a zombie.</p>

According to Itachi every jutsu has a weakness, but that may not apply to jutsu combos (Rinnegan EMS Wood release).  However the manga already showed that over-reliance on the Rinnegan's chakra / jutsu absorption is risky with Sage mode nature chakra (risk of turning into a stone statue).

It occurred to me recently that even Edo Madara hasn't developed a would counter to a Sage mode sound-based genjutsu.  The Sage Frog genjutsu gave Pain a hard time despite the Rinnegan - he dealt with it the second time by simply killing the frog before the jutsu could be activated.  Edo Itachi also had difficulty dealing with Kabuto's Sage sound genjutsu and only got out of it because he was facing Sasuke and the pair were able to use Sharingan on each other.

Any non-physical attack would be easily absorbed by the Preta Rinnegan path. There aren't ~~m~~any ultra-powerful genjutsu ninja who can hope to trap him in a genjutsu for more than 2 seconds. And in the offshoot that something does hurt him, he'd just regenerate. He's a zombie.

Chapters 622 and 623 hint at a possible weakness of Madara Uchiha.

In Chapter 622, it has been shown that Madara has issues with [being too aware of his surroundings, and being easily distracted or have an inability to focus properly](https://i.sstatic.net/Wjgyn.png). He also has [issues with pride](https://i.sstatic.net/fwcJz.png), that he carried on until his adulthood.

In Chapter 623, the same possible weaknesses has been shown. [He even claimed that he didn't have any weaknesses](https://i.sstatic.net/GuxX0.png). [[1]](https://i.sstatic.net/GuxX0.png) [[2]](https://i.sstatic.net/6hhrB.png).
