First of all it is manga facts about Minato seemed to figure out that Kamui would work even after he said only Senjutsu and Taijutsu attacks would work. I wonder how he came to that conclusion. Though, I think a lot of people here are curious why Kamui works.

I was surprise how Minato got everyone to support Guy with his own plan, talk about a guy with no arms.
If we read again in this latest chapter....

1. Minato explained to Kakashi very well about how Madara's Black Balls really works, so by that he came up with a strategy and a counter plan to hold back Madara's black spheres. Here is some example:



2. Minato even analysed how The Black Balls could not be controlled by the user beyond up to 70 meters away, and by that, Minato knew Kakashi's Kamui would work if Madara loses his control over it.
Another explanation about Kakashi can lose his sight due to much used by Kamui during this war. Minato asked Gaara for a favor to help Kakashi get closer to Madara to Kamui the Black Spheres away, however Gaara was exhausted and his sand could not keep up with Madara's Black Spheres. However Minato mentioned he could take it away by using his FTG Kunai so Kakashi would get the chance to get even closer.



3.

Here you can see Lee going for 6th Gate Open. It is kinda surprise that Minato was able to stop Lee from attacking, but instead he listened to Minato.


Notice how Lee's reaction after what Minato told to him? Well, in that case he instead asked Lee about to keep his Kunai and defend Gaara.
He played as a Hokage role great with Lee, and looks like the Will of Fire didn't miss a Hokage.

This thread is about how Minato analysis and strategy was supreme. He is often calm and relaxing like Itachi by figure out the opponent's weak point. Not bad for a guy with no arms. People here often claimed he got fodderized by Madara's Black Balls, but it was not in that case. Minato only wanted to keep the attack continue because Guy's attack was OP so he knew Guy would land a great damaged hit on Madara. Minato is dead after all, so it doesn't really matter if he gets hit.

Kamui doesn't work on Madara... only Senjutsu & Taijutsu does
Kamui works on Madara's Orbs o_O

you mixed that up a littlebit! :D

Minato is amazing at coming up with strategies!
like the one he came up with Tobirama to switch places with eachother... that was amazing!

I think Minato is pretty much equal to Itachi when it comes to intelligence. He's called genius of his generation for a reason.

Itachis intelligence feat is no where close to minato.

minato was called a genius and portrayed as a genius throughout the manga.

It's only recent portrayal, after seeing obito, he seemed to have been an idiot from shock and awe.

I wonder what he did with the balls?

It's simple. Minato's plan was to teleport it away to another place along with him, however people here said his Edo Tensei body would have been broken due to Madara's Black Orb, BUT I remember you made a thread about how Minato's FTG really works, so by that I think he left himself to another place and teleported the Black Balls away from him to exactly another place as well.

Yeah, but I think both of them has their own style of analysis about the enemy's weak point and how to counter their jutsus, if you know what I mean.

As for their results, both Minato and Itachi are on the same level.

Itachi and minato both have great perception towards enemies abilities. Ex: Itachi came up with an Idea to break nagato's CT while naruto and bee were running blank as to what to do. Whereas Minato came up with a strategy to defeat obito's Kamui and succeded in doing so where most of the characters in shippuden failed to do so. So Both Itachi and Minato are equal in analyzing the situation IMO.

But Shikamaru is a bit smarter, and think no one can actually anaylyse the enemies perfectly as Shikamaru, HOWEVER it takes a lot of time before he knows how to plan for the attack compared to both Minato and Itachi. Both of them are QUICK thinkers, and that's why I believe their strategies are above Shikamaru.

I'm probably gonna get bashed for saying this, but I'll say it anyway. Minato = Itachi in intelligence. Both have very dangerous skill sets too, and make no mistake we haven't seen the full set of either one. I'm sure a Hokage and Sharingan Master have way more jutsus and skills than we have witnessed. These too CAN at the very least give anyone, except a juubi jin, a run for their money. They have the ability to beat ANYONE at all.

Indeed. Shikamaru is the best strategist currently. But the only difference is that both Itachi and minato possess better chakra and jutsu's to perform their strategy accordingly where shikamaru needs support from his team and prep time.
