Lets be honest... some people can beat minato? really
lemme guess....
a sharingan user?
a jinkurichi?
Rinnegan user?
So6P?
Sorry about swearing(Idk why the added stars to naruto universe although..?) but I didn't say minato flat out loses.... based on what we know I gave a simple analysis on pg 1 about how the battle would be... Often people just list Moves and jutsu and say "this beats this" ..some people say minato is smarter than sasori....that isn't proven either...Sasori might just be smarter for all we know. Actually sasori has quite allot to go from based on his actions but they go underminded...
When minato fight's from what we seen in the manga he preps his FTG by throwing kunai, -- without intel that might back fire against sasori who will pick up its viability and manipulate the kunai... if you examine Ay vs minato fight... Ay was planning on checkmating minato by blitzing the kunai he that minato was going to teleport to... Which backfired because minato tagged Bee.... And with all that going on Bee was able to anticipate minatos movements...
Now with that being said... there's obviously drawbacks in abusing FTG. Even If Minato tags the whole arena or feild... 1000 scattered senbon would be Virtually unavoidable...
^Dont get me wrong this is not proof that minato would lose to sasori... but what it does is cripples minatos basic approach.. at least the one we were Introduced too.
Minato would have to play this out very intellegently (dont forget that chakra limits are also relevant so just doing a whole bunch of moves isn't realistic guys)...
All of sasoris weapons are imbued with Poison..summoning jutsu would not be too smart... unless you like sasuke and want to kill off your animals...
All I'm saying is that all known elements of Minato's approach has a way to get countered requiring less effort from Sasori..
The thing is, everyone always just says FTG. We've seen the guy use FTG 4 times and all 4 were
critical moments.
1) FTG to save kakashi? That was very crucial, or kakashi would get hurt. It just so happened that he decided to end the fodder quickly with a second ftg.
2) FTG vs 50 Men? That is very crucial. Blitzing between 50 people to reduce the numbers as fast as possible is effective.
3) FTG vs A + B? They were the 2 fastest shinobi out. Minato's base speed wouldn't be able to dodge A(let's be honest, A had enhanced speed.. So it's not like his base speed is flat out ridiculous).
4) FTG during kyuubi invasion? He had an S/t user trying to 1 shot him. Had to go between saving his son, his wife, fighting a masked man, fighting the kyuubi all in a short time span. And, they were all in different places.
What am i saying? The guy isn't all ftg. Kishi is most likely intentionally keeping his showing to a minimum to surprise us. Fact is he most possibly has SM (Both his and jiraiya's Image were shown next to SM naruto when fukasaku was talking about him.). Fact is, he has a ton more jutsu to display.
Now, I get what you're saying with intelligence and what not, but We have literally never seen anything from minato. Infact, minato's showing is just about as much as tobirama TBH. The only difference is that we've gotten more story about minato, but we've only been shown his signature move in most cases. Up till minato vs obito, we didn't even know about S/T barrier, RDS.
The thing is, minato had a flee on site order. Why would he have that? Think about it. Like really think about it. Ay was the fastest person back then. He could blitz people before they could react, and he was extremely strong. But, yet, minato had the flee on site order? Not ay, not bee, not oonoki, not anyone else. Minato was even chosen over orochimaru. Hiruzen loved orochimaru, called him a prodigy of his time and we know orochimaru was very strong. But, yet, hiruzen overlooked a
prodigy for this guy? Ftg can't be it. From what we've seen, he has some of the best, if not the best, reflexes in the manga. His base speed
is high, and he has FTG to boost that.
We've been told he has barrier techniques and we've seen 2 barrier techniques so far. S/t Barrier and jiraiya's sensor barrier. We know jiraiya actually got some moves off of minato (eg rasengan), so it's not unlikely that he also got barrier jutsu off of him. In the new naruto movie (Made by kishimoto), we see that minato even taught jiraiya a sealing technique(the S/t-Chain-something else sealing jutsu that he said only he and jiraiya could unlock).
Minato has an entire hidden arsenal that could potentially screw sasori over
heavily. He is one of the strongest characters who have been displayed which had a limited showing.
Now, back to the topic. With his current showing he can already make this a high diff win for sasori. I disagree that summoning toads would be a bad move however. That is a very good strategy as gamabunta does have long ranged jutsu (water bullet, oil, etc) which would be able to destroy sasori's puppets from a far. The fact is, only kazekage summons can even stand up to gamabunta. Minato doesn't need to really through kunai. He can always do things manually and try to tag sasori. Slap a tag on bunta just in case and then head in to fight sasori. If a situation arises where he's about to be hit, he can FTG to safety(he was able to react to A).
I would like to add one last thing, minato would most likely only lose this fight if he has no intel on sasori's poison. Because, if he doesn't know about it, there's a chance he'd slack off a bit and suffer a minor cut. And, we know minor cuts can be fatal with sasori.
EDIT: to your last point, I agree. I like how you mention 'all his
known abilities', but the post i responded to made it sound like minato was some weakling he gets 1shot by all.
1 last thing, I don't know who can beat minato... It doesn't necessarily have to be an uchiha... Could be anyone, but i'd have to see his showing first. Everyone wanks off obito because of his S/t but, when it comes to minato, his S/t is apparently some E class jutsu.
