Okay, lets say he DOES show off new techniques we haven't seen before. But that begs the question, why didn't he use these techniques against Obito and/or Kurama? I hate little inconsistencies like this.

Who says that he will? Maybe he will use his same techniques

When you get into a fight, you just have to use the best move to counter what your opponent does. He didn't just go all out and use every tech in the book, that would've been kind of bland.

And then that also makes you ask, why didn't Jiraiya go into Sage Mode when fighting Orochimaru?

I agree with you.

I know that it's hypothetical, but what if he just uses his same techniques? Plus it wouldn't be cheap for him to use new techniques since he was shown fighting like twice haha

lets wait and see before we jump to conclusions.
Also lets not forget that maybe certain techniques dont fit certain situations.

Because he had to save his newborn son...save his wife...save the village...battle the kyuubi...and seal it back up...all by himself...could you do that?

^That.

Or are you forgetting Obito had Kamui? And Minato was aware of that?

Why would Minato waste chakra on other Jutsu's when he knows it'll just phase through Obito? His plan was to use FTG and Rasengan afterwards, which worked. Why would he use any other Jutsu if that is enough to win?

In the Nine-Tails case, his plan was to use RDS, and seal the rest into Naruto. Considering the current situation, that was a great decision. I'm not seeing how other Jutsu's really would've helped him there either.

His chakra was out of whack, so it would have been dangerous to attempt sage mode.
