Minato. I see him outlasting Gai. And if he gets into any trouble he can use FTG to get away instantly. He would leave a kunai at his starting distance and then go after gai.
Minato wins med diff as long as he keeps his distance and doesn't engage Gai in a cqc..if not he dies once asakujaku and hirudora hits him...cqc is gai's field
Gai engages Minato in CQC because that's his fighting style, Gai gets marked... Then it's gg. Anyone who thinks Gai can avoid getting marked is deluded. And why is 8 Gates restricted, if he has to resort to that, then it means Gai's opponent is too strong for him meaning he has to resort to sacrificing himself for a draw; assuming Minato doesn't teleport from the battlefield and wait for Gai to die. 8 gates is the most pointless thing in vs threads.
In 7th gate, he almost had Madara cached off guard, and Madara's reactions far surpasses Minato's. Not to mention his striking speed, which is instant.
Gai wins High Diff. Gai is a taijutsu master...whoever thinks that Gai will easily let Minato put a seal on him is a dumbass...OMG Minato throws his kunai near Gai... Well the smart thing to do is to GTH outa the way,DUH!!! Knowing Gai, he can probably see the joints moving on Minato and can counter it. 8th gates restricted or not, Gai will show Minato his place
