We all know that he was capable of ridiculous bursts of speed and his reflexes were insane. We also know that a couple of the 8 Gates can be used without repercussion, do you think it's possible that he used those?

If he did, Kishi would have mention it, but he didn't; so No.

My capability to think straight is impaired after midnight, sorry.
By the way, I'm not a Minato fanboy. xd

Agreed.

Wrong. Minato's chakra levels were far too low for Sage Mode, as Fukasaku mentioned. 8 gates, rather just the first 2 or 3 of them, are more believable than Sage Mode. But I doubt he had the time to unlock them.

Why do you require a good chakra level to master sage mode?
N even if it requires, u say a kage doesn't have enough chakra?

I've never considered this question. People are saying "No" but we don't know for sure, but honestly I doubt it. But it's nice to hear a new theory tossed around here that has nothing to do with Tobi.

I think the stuff with opening the eight inner gates is Gai and Lee only. They are the only taijutsu only users in the story and that move is the most extreme (and dangerous) way to powerup your taijutsu hits. That`s why they trained it. Opening the gates wasn`t mentioned outside of their fights so I think the other ninja simply don`t do it to that point.
