Minato vs Mei

[Tazzilla88]

So I am of the belief that hype doesn't particularly belong in the colosseum.
And Because I know people will automatically go Minato roflstomps I'm going to do something I don't usually do in my vs threads and lay out the conditions for the battle then defend the underdog.

Location: Naruto vs 3rd Raikage
Intent: To kill
Restrictions: Minato is limited to Gamabunta as his only summon, hype for both parties
Knowledge: Full
Starting Distance: 50 meters

I believe Minato mostly suffers from having a very limited arsenal. In his arsenal he has his summoning jutsu, ftg, another space time barrier jutsu, a contract seal, a form of sensing and rasengan.

So let's discuss Mei's arsenal as it is not vast either. In her arsenal she has Hidden Mist Jutsu, Acid Mist, Water Dragon Bullet, and her Yoton. And while she does possess Katon and Doton they are not very important for this matter as they are featless and they can't be well argued for or against.


So if we are to assume Mei will fight intelligently the first thing she would do is put up her Hidden Mist Jutsu and turn it into Acid Mist. We know Minato has some sort of sensing ability but we don't know if he can pinpoint location with it. Which will make the case difficult for him hitting Mei. He would have to find her in the mist. Whereas, it has to be logically assumed that because Hidden Mist jutsu is in her arsenal she must also have a way to find her opponent even when he's hidden in the mist.
At this point there is only one thing in his arsenal that may help and that is Gamabunta. And Bunta would not be particularly good at CQC as well he has trouble hitting humans.

So he'll have to use his size to try and disperse the mist and it is a question of whether that would actually be a valid method. And while his water bullets are dangerous Mei could potentially counter them with Yoton a combination of Yoton and Doton, over powering or stopping them with Suiton, or because he can't find her in the mist just not being able to hit her. Also while in the air he'd be a huge target for the Water Dragon Bullet as Shukaku's wind jutsu was painful to him I also imagine that her suitons which are very formidable being able to extinguish Madara's Katon and being able to throw arrow his v1 Susanoo would be sufficiently painful to Gamabunta
Engaging in CQC and dodging attacks would be difficult because of her Boil release and his inability to see. And his Kunai would be rendered useless as the mist would destroy them and he marks his kunai with paper seals (which is inefficient but whatevs) and that would be destroyed in regular mist and water would distort the paper. So if they even go through a water jutsu those seals are done for.

For this reason ftg v2 isn't really practical here. But even standard ftg isn't particularly useful if he marks the ground instead. Why? Because her mist is potent enough to melt stone walls we can also know it will effect the battle arena in question and destroy the seals.

Which he probably should put seals on anyway since it's mostly sand and sand shifts and would therefore destroy the seals but if we were in a different area such as the sannin showdown location her mist would still harm the battle area.
And if he is somehow able to determine that an attack is coming at his such as Yoton or Suiton he redirect it somewhere else via his time space barrier jutsu.
So then the biggest issues that I would see then is
1. Being able to see and Find Mei
2. If he is able to accomplish 1. being able to approach Mei without being harmed by Boil release specifically or any of her other jutsus
3. Bunta is big but he is not great against powerful human sized opponents and of the great sannin summons (so not the miscellaneous summons) he's the least durable.
4. His ftg tags are defeated by her use of suiton and boil releases.

For these four reasons I believe he could very well lose to Mei.
But I'm sure you guys know something that I do not so please share.

Mei wins very easily if she starts the battle with acid mist. Whereever Minato teleports on the battlefield is useless, as he will get caught in it regardless as he lacks anything to block it out. Secondly, he has to throw his FTG Kunais first to leap over the distance between them. Acid Mist will incapacitate him from the get go.

If Mei stars with a Kirigakure + Futton combination she most likely wins. She melted the Susanoo pretty fast, a human body is obviously not that durable. She can melt Minato in seconds.

Minato stomps. Summons Bunta, Suitons dillute the acid in the air, she gets murdered.

How can he summons Bunta when his body is melting?

Does Mei have prep? No?

He summons him, then.

Since when the Kirigakure or the Futton needs prep time?

It would only dilute very small portions of air as that water doesn't cover the same AoE as the acid mist does and the Acid Mist would very quickly regain it's potency as she can alter the ph of the water in the air.

How can he summons Bunta when his body is melting?

Technically he should be getting chemical burns, his bones may dissolve once the acid eliminates the flesh on top of them but by that point...

Small portions? Acids get ''shat'' upon by water. Bunta's Suitons are large enough to counter Shukaku's water bullets. Even without them, Bunta can easily jump over 50 meters and Mei cannot maintain the acid mist forever.

She needs 5 seconds to melt Bunta's legs. ( If Minato can summon it!!!! )

 

[nagger97]

minato can summon gamabunta, and gamabunta will be aware the second he gets to the battle field, also, if he is on top of gamabunta then that will give him time to throw the kunai somewhere because gamabunta is tall as ****. P.S, why the hell would you let mei start out with her attack, this vs battle is retarted

 

[pateuvasiliu]

Bunta can cover over 100 meters with a single jump so good luck with that.

Minato does have sensing abilities as demonstrated when he pinpointed Naruto's and Kyubi's chakra fighting together in 2o'clock direction from him, so using hidden mist would be useless and the only person blind here would be Mei, since Minato could localise her position anytime. We don't know if Mei is as good as Zabuza in fighting someone with sound alone, in this case then, the only person who would have difficulties to fight would be Mei. Setting the mist would then only accelerate her defeat

But the Mist isn't Mei's only weapon. She can use Acidic Mist too. In this case Minato won't be able to use Kunais, and if he tries to find the Mizukage in the mist, he will be melted.

And why do you think Minato can sense Mei? He sensed Naruto's chakra because it's strong. Remember when Orochimaru commented that even Juugo and Suigetsu was able to sense his chakra?

 

[Strict]

This is absurd. Look at how both have been portrayed. It's clear that Minato beats her.

If Minato is immune to the acid then he wins. If not, well good luck for him...

 

[Saad Shujaat]

I dont think Mei can win cause:
1) Minato is super fast
2) Mei cannot maintain acid fog for log remmeber she had to close all sides before she tried acid fog on sasuke and it took tim eto melt susanoo
3) Mei can never win in taijutsu with Minato
4) Above all minato has FTG soo comeon plz

 

[pateuvasiliu]

And why do you think Minato can sense Mei?

Because he's a sensor, as shown before.

Also

Starting Distance: 50 meters

Minato can cover this distance and FTG back to a safe spot pretty fast. He blitzed Obito and caught Naruto before Obito could stab him. 50 meters is not too much.

Everyone was able to sense Naruto's chakra, not just Minato. He isn't a sensor, deal with it.

Until he trows the Kunai, Mei can easily use her Acidic Mist. When Minato arrives there he starts to melt.

FTG in, chop head off, FTG out.

He'll be a little uglier, sure, but she'll be dead.

Corrosion isn't instant.
