Nagato would beat Minato. He wont be able to get close due to deva paths abilities so he can't just use ftg to take him out, also if Minato slips through deva paths abilities Nagato has shared vision and wont be caught off gaurd and can stop Minato's tai jutsu with assura path or ninjutsu with petra path. If Minato gets hit by a shinra tensei it would probably kill him or leave him close to death he also can't stop chibaku tensei unless he teleports home, but if that's the case you need to make that option clear in the opening post as most would see that as forfeiting by running away.
Dude, paths are different..... Paths are more mobile then Nagato. There is a reason why they are better for him. Nagato was good as a Edo tensei due to unlimited chakra.... Otherwise good luck to him trying to do that many things without getting tired lmao.
This sounds like nonsense, the paths weren't better than Nagato it was made clear by Naruto when they last fought. You're actually using chakra issues as a problem for Nagato? From his feats it should be obvious he doesn't have issues with chakra, like soloing a village, fight Naruto, toads and kyuubi then reviving everyone he killed? Hw didn't even take advantage of being an edo, it was down to his own abilities controlled by Kabuto.
