The thing your overlooking is, Minato is using these kunai as weapons as well, pinpointing your movements. How can you get out of range. Minato's base speed is pretty good himself. He was able to get in between a fully charging Kakashi and his enemy without using FTG.

P.S. Kakashi has one of the best base speeds in the manga.

wasnt he able to do that because of the kunai he gave kakashi as a gift

Nope, because Rin and the others did note state that he used FTG, until he performed it on the enemy.

Nah i don't think he is, By hype prime Hiruzen is the strongest shinobi without KKG/Bijuu/Dojutsu, Minato had the potential to surpass him though, It's just a shame he never reached his prime.

Oh really? Hiruzen?

Minato created his own powerful jutsus without KK, dojutsu or bj lvl, but he improved all of us, and we will soon see him fight again

Yes hiruzen, You know the man who is Hyped to be the strongest of all the Hokages, The Man who in his Old and weak state was said to still be the strongest of the 5 current kages at the time, Then man who matstered over 1000 Jutsu's without the sharingan's copying abilities, The Man who scored a Perfect score in Tai/Nin and Gen.

Just because minato created FTG/rasengan doesn't make him the most powerful

It is difficult to deal with because unlike the shunshin no jutsu, or even just fast movements; the FTG technique works like a summon, meaning that you do not know which seal he will teleport to, and even if you could narrow it down, you would still have to be fast enough to counter Minato.

FTG isn't unbeatable but its damn hard to deal with. Speed usually decides the match when equally skilled ninjas battle. (Anyone fighting a teleporter is at a huge disadvantage). Just try fighting a good Minato player in Storm 3 and you'll get what I mean

This is a difficult technique to deal but I think Shikamaru, Itachi, Obito/tobi and Sasuke have the ability to deal twith ftg

To come up with a decent strategy to beat FTG
, you need time to think and time to execute your plan...and I doubt Minato would give his opponents that luxury in a real fight

Even jiraiya and stunade said Minato is a genius that only appears once in an age. he never does anything without a a reason, i know Itachi is an excellent shinobi but come on guys to compare him to minato that is looking down on minato. every single technique used by minato was invented by him, where itachi was born with his sharigan, tht comes with the amaterasu, tsokoyomi and the others. itachi inherit his techniques but minato invented his. minato is at the level of the first hokage tht is who should compare him with.

What are you talking about no where is it said that he invented ftg, and the most of the seal tech he knows was taugh to him by kushina

FTG is an awesome and hard to counter technique, however ever technique has a weakness even the FTG.
I can't wait though to see if Minato will battle.(Hope to see some new techs for Minato that Kishi hasn't shown us)

Of course, it's one of the hardest jutsu to counter in the entire series, along with A's Lightning Shield, Kamui etc.

Whilst it's true that his kunai can be deflected, chances are Minato would get as close as possible whilst the enemy is busy deflecting them. At that point, his main priority would be to tag the opponent, allowing him to teleport freely to them whenever he needs to.
Once you're tagged, the game is pretty much set. Be it a few hit-and-run Rasengan or an Uzumaki seal, there's not much an opponent can do when they're tagged.

Even if they manage to prevent Minato teleporting to them, it becomes a battle of endurance. I'm sure Minato could just teleport around as he pleases, whereas the opponent will have a hard time actually landing a hit.

The more kunais thrown the harder it is to deal with. This is because it becomes unpredictable where Minato will appear, and also because it is harder to deflect the kunai by hitting it with your own jutsu or kunai... However, I do believe that large scale wind jutsus or people with sharingan and kunai skill such as Itachi are pretty effective against it.

One thing which I think needs to be taken into account is Minato's natural speed. Let's say worst case scenario for Minato's opponent, Minato has his opponent surrounded in a circular area in which Minato has kunai spread out evenly encircling his opponent and with a lot of cover so that his opponent can not see him. This means that Minato can throw a kunai from one place and then teleport to his kunai on the other side of the circle and throw another kunai and so on... so that Minato has multiple kunai in the air attacking his opponent at the same time. The question is that even if his transport time between the two locations he throws the kunai is instantaneous, how much time does it take him to throw kunai? On top of that while Minato is throwing his second kunai the first kunai is in route already which allows his opponent time to deflect it. Assuming the opponent hears Minato landing at his second kunai location, his opponent also has time to react to where he predicts Minato's next kunai will come from.

This shows that Minato's natural speed is critical to FTG's effectiveness. If Minato can land at his next kunai location and throw his kunai quickly, then FTG becomes much more effective... it becomes harder to react to kunais as well as increase the number Minato can throw from different angles while previously thrown kunais are still in route. The number of kunais and variety of their directions increases the effectiveness of Minato's FTG by making it harder to counter his reappearance at the kunai he teleports to.

Minato's natural speed also plays a role because if he is significantly slower than his opponent, when he teleports to his thrown kunai to use rasengan, then his opponent may be able to dodge this based on the shear speed difference between the two of them. This likelihood increases if they have a dojutsu which can aid in reaction time.

Therefore, I conclude that FTG can be very effective, but might have certain simple limitations based on Minato's own natural ability. This of coarse is without going into other jutsu which would limit it more... for instance a chibaku tensei at the beginning of the fight would draw all minato's kunai to the gravitational center and FTG would be useless without prepared kunai elsewhere... But I am just focusing on simple counters.

Minato slow without FTG tech?
