Does anyone see a flaw in FTG?

[Strawberry]

well if you know where the enemy will teleport you can place an object, explosive or weapon there to detonate or impale them upon teleporation.

 

[Shadow Phantasm]

It appears if someone has quick reflexes or can predict where the FTG user will teleport then they can easily defend against it.

It can't hurt a Susano'o user

Just a disclaimer here:

Spoiler

Please don't think I'm trying to hate on Minato. He's among my favorite character is Naruto. I like his attitude, his mind, his genius, heck, he even looks cool! And I'm particularly fond of his fighting style. Before he even existed, I once thought of the idea of a ninja who use teleporting knives to fight. Only difference, mine used taijutsu and knife fighting- but Minato is still a boss. I appreciate the guy, I really do. I'm just trying to be, in my opinion, however faulty, reasonable :l

As for my response:

Spoiler

(1st paragraph)
This is why I said I believe Kishi amped him up. In Kishi's world, yeah he's strong. But in Kishi's world, Rock Lee was did better in 1-2 years than in 3-4. A bunch of edos and Senju-empowered-zetsu lose to the less numbered and out-powered ninja world. Juubi/Juubito lost to the ninja Alliance. Madaara didn't kill the kages. Neji didn't air palm / rotation the spike instead of jumping to it. Despite being on/close to Kakshi and Guy and K11 levels of rank, they all are academy level in battle. And I could on and on, those are just off the top of my head. Kishi's world isn't always reasonable, cause he's human like the rest of us.
And honestly, have we forgotten the speed of Raikage? Have we forgotten??? The dude can bltiz reasonably anyone. At the speed the anime/manga showed him moving, it is literally impossible for Minato to have taken out a kunai, and thrown it before A moves like 1cm. Heck, to move that fast the kunai owuld've had to like burn from friction. I don't have time to get down into it, but really, it's noteworthy Minato could even see him and react at all, and I'm personally (just my opinion) am convinced that the only reason he did what he did was due to plot-speed-boost. And even if by some miracle, assuming Minato can move his hands faster than A can move 1cm, a kunai isn't faster than A.

(2nd paragraph)
The ninja are faster than kunai- at least most of them. And any analytical ninja should be able to be wary of the kunai 100% of the time, and stay from it's radius. My point is really this: FTG itself isn't that bad. What maes it bad is when a genius like Minato has it. What makes it OP is when he has reaction speed that [in my opinion] literally isn't real, and everyone else seems to dumb down to it.

But hey you know what, maybe I'm wrong It was just my 2cents lol. Thanks for the intelligent response btw. I didn't structure mine to well as I'm rushing to bed, but oh well :I

I agree. Logic, even normal manga logic is thrown out of the window when its kishi. But, who are we to complain? I personally don't see the problem. If anyone can move fast as A does, then its not really far fetched to assume someone can react even faster. As for the kunai part, if it was the manga, i'd have argued that he threw the kunai a little earlier and A moved past it than kunai moving past A. But, the anime says otherwise. So, no comment there.

Countering FTG kunai: deflect the kunai.

Countering FTG markings: Destroy the surface where the mark is resting.

 

[Xāvî1]

The title pretty much says it all. Itachi's says that if delt with calmly you cam find weakness in any enemy, and that no jutsus perfect, they all have a weakness.

So, find a weakness guys, good luck

the weakness is the user marks the location in advance which is also a give a away for the enemy

 

[GhostProject]

1. Stop the FTG from becoming a one shot blitz

Spoiler

The best way to exploit FTG, is something that is powerful defensively, that doesn't require good positioning to be effective, like Susanno, Kurama Chakra Cloak, Kamui, Substitution Lol, maybe Gaara's Sand Armor, etc. If the FTG user can't make a critical hit with the FTG, then they can't just offensive blitz with it, as that would put them in a very bad position to be retaliated against.

2. Launch an offensive and make them have to use the FTG purely as a evasive function.

Spoiler

At that point, its practical applications become much more defensive, which can be predicted unlike the blitz which is usually split second death. An area of effect jutsu or some trap can counter a defensive/evasive FTG if predicted.

Amaterasu with Susanno Ribcage for example could effectively fight it. FTG can't blitz one shot the user, and retaliation is instant if the ribs are burning. Past that, it's regular battle tactics to worry about and forcing defensive FTGs that you can predict.

That said, FTG is one of the strongest jutsu in NV. It cannot be nullified completely, and the only way to fight it is to prevent the FTG one shot blitz. When that happens, now you are simply fighting a 'regular' battle, except the FTG user still has infinitely better mobility and positioning potential, however, it can't win the fight alone and the defensive uses can become setups.

Tl;dr- The weakness is that it can't beat something overwhelmingly powerful like Perfect Susanno and it gains the potential to open the FTG user up to a counterattack.

The sec greatest lie uchai fan push and twisted into people head was bee was about react to minato ftg bee always keeps his sword pointed back

@Draphdeflect the kunai dose u no good because if he throws 10 . One above u and six at your chest and the rest at your feet he can teleport all the kunai at the last sec u strike to the one above u and have a rain of kunai in your face plus with your arm out u cant deff and unless your a hyuga who track the kunai your a died man

False he can teleport kunai to different kunai or summons them but to him

 

[startup97]

Give the user Jubito and we'll see what happens!

 

[RikudouMadara]

This Jutsus weak point and risk......

Not a weakness, but I'd just like to say, if a Hyuuga had FTG... the level of OP... inconceivable.

 

[solo king]

Didn't read everyone else's replies so I apologize if I'm not the first to say this but FTG is pretty much useless on water..can't tag the ground or trees and kunai sink.

Another weakness is that outside of BM mode,minato doesn't have the strongest offensive skills..so things like sussano,sand,healing etc he can't really counter

 

[Ahmed1993]

You can destroy the marked object/places ( earth , wall , kunais ).
You can rip of the marked part of your clothes.
It require a lot of chakra to teleport a big object/person.
You can make a trap on a marked place.


The Jutsu is far from being flawless.

Obito had a marking on him for 16 years, even after Minato died, there's no way to destroy those markings, imagine if someone had a laser pointer and shined it on the ground, now if you tried to dig it up, the laser dot would not be affected, I think ftg markings work the same way.

 

[NarutoIndra]

kunai's aren't easy to destroy.. You would have to have a Susano or some extremely destructive jutsu to destroy the Kunai's. And even then you may have simply sent them away with a shockwave instead of destroyed it. Furthermore, you would have to destroy it into several pieces, since the marking is on a particular part of the Kunai.

As far as destroying the ground goes. I agree, but I highly doubt an opponent without dojutsu would be strolling in the middle of a fight looking for a small FTG marking in which he would attempt to destroy. The user won't watch the enemy destroy it either, so I see no point in such arguments. I also see no reason to why someone would use high scale jutsu just to destroy marking that can be recreated..

There's no need to destroy the ground, and honestly think for a second, if you could get rid of ftg so easily, then this would be true for all fuuinjutsu, obito could have merely taken kushina's seal off, but we know that's not true, seals can't be destroyed by normal means, it'd be like trying to dig a shadow up, sure you'll move the dirt but the shadow will remain in place unaffected

This is speculation though. I am simply trying to demonstrate with feats, that an opponent still cannot destroy the markings unlesss they have Ama, or can heavily destroy the ground, in which the seal would be cut in half, and would possibly be released, or unviable.
