It can be said, Minato basically copied Tobirama's style... Kishi basically was tired of creating characters, so he said, "Meh... why not have 2 characters that 1. create their own jutsu and 2. use hiraishin."

C'mon Kishi... You had so much to expand on Tobirama... Kishi basically fodderized two characters in one, by making them exact copies of each other. If Kishi had just stuck with the original plan to make Tobirama a bad ass with suiton, he would be at least 20x better. If they weren't copies of each other, maybe, just maybe, together they could defeat Genma. It would be a pretty good fight.

Do you guys think Tobirama is more bad ass if he:

A. Is like he is now.
B. Was an extremely OP suiton user.

I wish kishimoto created a unique S/T Ninjutsu technique for Tobirama rather have him being another FTG user. That would have been interesting.

I guess Tobirams is ok as he is now. Surely, at some point he is going to use his famous water release. Presently, Obito has not used any fire style tech so its waste to just use water release for just show off. I am sure that at right time against Madara or Obito's fire release; Tobirama will show off water release.

I don't think its bad to have FTG by 2 Hokages. Afterall every MS/EMS user has same amaterasu or susanoo or tuskuyomi. Just the difference is scale or skill in using these M/EMS techs. Same goes for FTG also. Minato is superior than Tobirama in FTG skills. Thats it.

I thought him with simpler versions of s/t along with some high level suiton techs to even it down. İt would be more original if his main focus was suiton.

Disagreed with the defeating Genma part though. Not going to happen.

Exactly, imagine some OP jutsu where he uses s/t then uses a suiton technique to follow it up. U_U

This reminds me of the good old "omg Sasuke gets everything Itachi has" whine threads.

If it's a good jutsu then why would anyone NOT learn it and try make it better?

Minato:"WOW THAT'S A COOL JUTSU"
Elders:"Only the Second can use it. To maintain his badassery throughout history"

Minato has never been impressive in the first place. Yeah he's fast, well so was Rock Lee during the Chunin Exams. He has a rasengan, yeah a kid learned the jutsu in a week. Minato is terribly overrated due to the massive amount of fanboys and fangirls he receives due to being Naruto's dad. Tobirama on the other hand is nothing short of absolutely nowhere near as powerful as his brother Hashirama, which was slightly disappointing.

Kishi already incorporated space time jutsu with Obito's fire style and I thought that was super badazz, wouldn't it seem weird if only a few chapters later he introduced Tobirama's space time with a water style..? It would seem like a knock off of Obito because he ran out of clever ideas

well, its not being Narutos dad that makes him famous. itss Kishi himself who makes him famous by wanking him thru Jiraiya,Anko,Hiruzen,Tobirama,Obito,Rin,Kurama,Naruto,Ei,B,Kakashi etc.
