This is my opinion. Some of you might disagree, say I am wrong, downrep me, say I am not serious, insult me. I would prefer you taking it seriously and reply why you believe I am wrong because I am certain there will be many people who will disagree.

According to official Viz translation, Tobirama praised Minato, saying he is better at teleporting than Tobirama.

There were different translations that were not official. So some fans decided Tobirama praised Minato's speed, others decided Tobirama praised Minato's use of Hiraishin. By doing so, Minato fans got the best from both Worlds.

I believe Tobirama was reffering to Minato's use of Hiraishin. The reasons for that are the fact that Minato used it when he came to battlefield, has more marked Kunai and can teleport many people at the same time.

But this also means Tobirama did not say Minato is faster than him. They both praised each other's speed.

Madara admitted Tobirama was the fastest when they were alive. Minato was the fastest during his time.

This means they are both incredibly fast. Both were the fastest during their time. One would assume Minato is faster because of his reputation. But one would also assume Minato created Hiraishin because of his reputation. And many probably did assume so until it was confirmed Minato did not invent Hiraishin. So, relying on Minato's trademark being speed does not mean he is faster than Tobirama.

In my opinion, Tobirama is faster than Minato, while Minato can use Hiraishin better. I believe Tobirama has shown to be faster because he kept up with Minato who had Bijuu mode. He also saved Minato before Minato managed to escape. And he marked Obito and put many explosive tags on him. I believe Tobirama has shown greater speed and reactions than Minato.

You can't be faster than instant. FTG is instant regardless of who uses it. Tobirama was referring to Minato's shunshin speed (if you're referring to the Hokage's first arrival to the battlefield.)

Minato is an upgraded version of everything Tobirama has except Suiton and Edo Tensei.

He didn't say "You are faster than me." He said "You are better at teleporting than me." What better means in this case I am not sure.

"Teleporting" almost always refers to Shunshin in the manga, which is foot speed. Space-Time refers to true teleportation.

Doesn't matter, Madara negged both of them.

OT: What Tobirama meant was probably his use of ftg since both are instant.

I get what you mean but technically ftg is not instant. Juubito managed to take off minato's arm just as minato was teleporting and that proves it isn't instant. Like I said I do know what you mean pertaining to the thread topic. Ftg speed is the same no matter who uses it but minato is more efficient.

I have to disagree with you. Minato and Tobirama are around the same level. What one doesnt have in jutsu he makes up in another kind. Minato has rasengan while Tobirama has suiton and his other jutsu.

Minato may seem faster but Tobirama was outspeeding him and was shown to be more intelligent on the battlefield as well.

I think Minato is faster and he mastered Ftg more than Tobirama because of the ftg kunai he uses.

But Tobiramas was more versatile. He could teleport people without touching them, but Minato could teleport more people

"Teleporting" almost always refers to Shunshin in the manga, which is foot speed. Space-Time refers to true teleportation.

They use word Shunshin for both fast movement and space time teleportation. But considering Minato's Hiraishin seems better and that Tobirama used words "better than me at teleporting" instead of "faster than me" I assume he was talking about Hiraishin. Also, if base Minato was faster than him than Bijuu mode Minato should have been far above Tobirama's level of speed.

Tobirama did not seem more intelligent than minato. They both contributed to the effort to stop obito and madara but minato did way more. Minato analyzed and participated and saved naruto and sasuke a few times while tobirama set back and really didn't do much other than try and help after the rest figured out what works like sm and then tobirama became useful.

So Tobirama saving Minato , Sasuke and Naruto from Obito was sitting back?
Tobirama coming up with the plan to hit Obito with the Rasenshuriken/Amaterasu was sitting back?
Tobirama teleporting Naruto in sm to Obito while Minato was unaware of sm being dangerous was sitting back?
I can keep going. Tobirama was more analytical and is more assertive with his ideas.

He also created the main jutsu Minato uses. Minato may have perfected it, but Tobirama all around is the better ninja

They both did, but Tobirama contributed more to the ninja world as a whole. Helped create the current ninja system, ninja academy, police force, village structure. Of course he also did wrong by ostracizing the Uchiha and edo tensei, but he contributed way more than Minato

i think he praised his use of it, or maybe, his speed at teleporting other people. including the speed of which he can teleport many, many, many people.
