Minato vs Jiraiya

[Penguin]

Scenario One: RDS and SM are restricted
Scenario Two: Jiraiya starts in base
Scenario Three: Jiraiya starts in SM

Jiraiya gets the toads in this match-up, so that means no toads for Minato.

 

[MickNerks]

Jiraiya wins all senarios

 

[Gold Lightning]

Minato wins 1 and 2.

3 however seems more in Jiraya's favour.

 

[Beans2]

Minato sweeps.

Minato takes the first scenario since I see him getting around the toads and catching Jiraiya with a rasengan due to FTG eventually. The second scenario I see Jiraiya taking because I believe with the toads he has enough time to get into SM and then he can counter Minato's FTG. Jiraiya should take the 3rd scenario as well as he'll already be in SM.

My decisions are really based on whether Jiraiya can summon toads faster than Minato can take him out

If he can't then its scenario 1: Minato, scenario 2: Minato scenario 3: Jiraiya

The thing is, even if toads are summoned Minato can just teleport them to another location. Either he transports them to one of his kunai somewhere outside the battle grounds (since Minato has kunai in other locations) or he can just create a shadow clone to shunshin to a far away distance, drop the kunai somewhere inconvenient and then the original sends the toad there. Or Minato can just constantly evade until the summoning time ends.

Only reason say Jiraya could take scenario 3 is because Fukasaku and Shima are tricky, it's risky form Minato to try and engage him in CQC with the toads on Jiraya's shoulders. Minato would need to enter Sage Mode to win 3 I think.

 

[KidGamer65]

Minato would win every scenario. 1 and 2 are mid diff wins and 3 is probably high diff.

 

[ARGUS]

Minato wins all scenarios
The first two he wins rather easily
Third one would be mid diff

About what you said about Minato constantly evading, I agree he could do that but that takes time and during that time Jiraiya may be able to enter SM.

Which is why shadow clones are helpful

Ah I see, makes sense. I just feel like Jiraiya would know Minato's powers being his Sensei and would have some kind of contingency plan in a fight against him (I want him to win LOL)

That's why I said its in jirayas favour for scenario 3

 

[A v i]

Minato wins all of them.

 

[Ken Masters]

Minato wins in every scenario

 

[Curse Mark]

how is jiraiya reacting to Minato?

 

[PlasticAngelx]

Minato wins them all

 

[~Sky~]

Seeing as Jiraiya probably wouldn't engage Minato in CQC to avoid being marked, I suppose he could use his long range attacks to keep Minato dodging.

I just don't see how Jiraiya puts Minato down. Frog Song maybe. Minato definitely wins 1, 2 and 3 are toss ups.

 

[Nattana]

Minato wins 1.
2 and 3 are in Jiraya's favour.

 

[Forbidden Tale]

1. Minato low diff.
2. Minato mid to high diff.
3. Minato high diff.
Jiraiya don't have counter for FTG and toads are nearly useless in this fight.

 

[Monkeysageof6paths]

Minato wins 1,2 maybe 3.
