Do you REALLY think that Jman could've beat Pain w/ Intel?

I don't. I think when Pain said that, he was referring to his real body being hidden somewhere else and Jiraiya could have defeated Nagato then and there.

Jiraiya wins high diff at konoha. He wouldn't have got throat crush blitzed or lost his arm on his own turf as easily. He has all the assets Naruto has except his sage mode isn't perfect. Jiraiya could maybe pull this off with no plot restrictions

6 tails = saiken / utakata
That's a filler episode. Actually, it was part of a canon episode. But the part where Pain took down Utakata was a filler. It wasn't shown in canon spefically how the fight went down.

Nagato said he could, so yes.

Nagato's opinion > anyone else's.

Nagato himself said he might have lost. We never seen Jiraiya full out fight a battle, he was trying to figure out how he knows the people he was fighting and how they had Rinnegans so he didn't jump in dishing out all he can and he still killed 4 Peins before his death. Knowing of shared vision, Deva path 5 min intervals, what each Path can do, that the real one isn't among them would all help Jiraiya. Leave a clone fighting with the toads as he goes to fight Nagato is a possibility. We never seen Orochimaru or Jiraiya fight with everything

I think you're forgetting that jman was a sage. His taijutsu is better then pains and jman also has his toad stomach thing which isn't a injured so it cant be absorbed. All in all jman had ways he could have won.

show me the proof when itachi soloed or atleast scratched obito...
and also no Jman cannot defeat pain even with intel, not atleast the deva path. the other paths he had a chance with intel if he was lucky enough. but no he cannot defeat pain. and pain was not shown to be weaker than obito and neither was obito shown to be weaker than itachi

Bolded has nothing to do with the thread Lol
OP: I agree, deva path is the strongest by far and jman never went against him, only the weaker ones, leading to unnecessary hype

If Nagato wanted to, Pain would have murdered Jiraya, the first ten seconds they meet, but he had to be gentle, and send only one path.

Jiraiya could still catch the deva path using his senbon technique, which takes way less than a second. All he has to do is survive long enough to figure out the deva path's time limit, then send a frog at him. when the deva path rejects the frog, jiraiya could use hair senbon and kill him. (this only works if the animal path is already taken out)

Jiraiya would have been able to beat him at his limit.

He was caught of guard during the fight because he was always guessing.
If he knew what naruto knew it would have eventually been one on one.

He would taken out the Path that recreates the other ones. Then let the dominos fall.

Jiraiya is underrated because of that fight but he really strong. What 6 tails naruto did to him was by accident and he ddnt want to hurt naruto. Id say thats a worthy scar.

If Jman knew that Nagato was weak and in hiding and would have went after the original instead of wasiting time on dead bodies? Then yes Jman would have won! He is in the same city/area where Nagato was at, and he had the skills and speed to locate and try and find Nagato. And no, Chibaku Tensei would have never been used in his village (or CST).

Pain was correct, if Jman knew the secrets he could have won.

He could if he had intel first hand. If he was aware there are 6 of them he wouldn't wasted his trump card(sound genjutsu) on 3 of them. If he could've got 6 of them with the sound genjutsu that would be game over for Nagato.

I'd say Jman could pull it off extremely high difficulty if he started in Sage Mode, and had a favorable location (like the one he fought in) where he could hide and prep frog song.

Well he might beat pains., but TNJ isn't his feat...so Nagato might have won in the end instead of killing himself

Uh, no, of course not. As soon as all of the Six Paths appeared, they raped Jiraiya. Not only that, Jiraiya was mostly doing good against only three of the Paths because the terrain was largely in his advantage - half the time he was hiding, devising strategies, preparing the Frog Song, plus he only managed to get into SM because he was fighting only one Pain body. With or without intel, in an open field (or not), Pain beats Jiraiya med difficulty, depending on how he approaches the fight, maybe even low.

I'm pretty sure that line was just Pain/Kishimoto paying his respects to Jiraiya's character.

pain did not use ST nor CT during the fight with j-man.
so I don't see Jman winning at all
