If you have your reasons, share them. Or don't bother posting.
Minato/Sandaime Raikage both have matching reflexes as well as nearly matched speed. Only difference is that Sandaime Raikage is more adept at Ninjutsu, has a massive strength advantage, experience, and a massive stamina advantage. Sorry, Minato has a bag of tricks, but none are strong enough to win.
Makes me wonder though.....Nidaime Hokage fought Sandaime Raikage and survived, even with the elemental disadvantage. Just sayin', but that means he had a means to counter speed and reflexes on that level. I think this is a small bit of proof that he's able to fight extremely fast oppenents.
Keep hearing "Minato can do the exact thing Naruto did to break his shield"... People need to understand Raikage was being fully controlled by Kabuto at that time, who didn't know about his scar. With Raikage in full control, he wouldn't use the 1 finger hellstab when he has already injured by it against the Hachibi and was to embarrassed to tell anyone. Raikage can still use another variant of the finger hellstab, one which cant break through his armor. Or he could use another powerful Jutsu such as his Black Lightning. The "Minato can do the exact same thing as Naruto" excuse is getting old. Especially when Naruto had help finding his weakness and Raikage had no control over his actions.
LOL thats a PLOT not a FACT. u cant say for SURE just because he was being controlled by kabuto, that the 3rd raikage would have AUTOMATICALLY have remembered this incident and create another "tech" around the one finger hellstab jutsu...not saying it isnt possible but what u state literally is a "what if" possibility...and another thing....minato isnt that much far of from naruto....in terms of speed..if he pre-emptively gets a chance to set up his kunai in locations unknown to the 3rd raikage (which actually isnt hard to consider or pull off) it could be done, then again i also believe the 3rd raikage is a good match up where others dont because hes also fast...even faster than the 4th raikage.
P.S dont forget minato can seal the 3rd with his forbidden jutsu if it comes to a draw in worse case scenario
You should have put a "draw" as an option in the poll for this vs =P
This is a bad match up for Minato, the 3rd Raikage has 1 of the strongest defenses in narutoverse. He's much stronger than A, but he's slower i believe... Minato can dodge A, and he'll dodge the 3rd for sure.
Minato can't kill the 3rd cause of his crazy defense, and the 3rd can't kill Minato cause of FTG. They're better off deciding who wins with Rock, Paper, Scissors.
3rd raikage with extreme difficulty
it take special sensor powers to keep up with raikage
minato eyes wouldn't be able to
minato might be able to dodge
the only way to defeat 3raikage is sensor or sharingan to see raikage to hit him in the right place its not just about speed
plus no attack works you have to hit 3rd raikage to make his own armor sword kill him
It might not be fact, but it is very more than likely that he wouldn't use the 1 finger hell stab again. If something happens to you, and you are so embarrassed by it that you don't want to tell anyone (not even your own son) about it, you would make sure that incident never happens again right? Wouldn't you? I know I would.
Minato's best chance is to seal the 3rd Raikage using the death god, but people act as if that is guaranteed. The only time people have been caught have been people un-able to move. I cant see 3rd Raikage getting caught like that, especially with his Raiton armor.
Minato's has his VERY slight chances of winning, but overall 3rd Raikage has better chances. 3rd Raikage can still use another varient of his finger hell stab (such as 2 finger hell stab or 3 finger hell stab etc), one which can't pierce his armor. And like I said, he still has black lightning which he can use. Minato hasn't shown any durability feats which would force 3rd to use his most powerful attack.
I can not imagine how Minato can hurt the 3rd.
Rasengan and Kunais are useless.
Raikage is a beast...minato is very smart much smarter then naruto (even though he got info from others) but still so it can go either way in that case but if minato doesnt find out...Raikage is dropping a nuke on Minato...i can only say that i hope one day we get to find out more about minato, his nature,sealing jutsu's and so on orelse there is no way hes in the top 5 league :/
overall-65-45% Raikage to Minato
