When Minato gets another jutsu that can't be absorbed by Preta path ... then we can argue . other than Rasengan Minato has no way of killing Nagato with shinrai Tensei or Summons or if Nagato uses Chibaku Tensei , it's game over .
Nagato wins. I'm a fan of Minato, but I'm rational when debating about him.
If Minato ever got close Nagato could simply use shinra tensei. The rasengan isn't going to do much since Nagato can absorb chakra through the use of the preta path and Minato really doesn't have an answer for chibaku tensei.
The only big issue for Nagato is trying to catch Minato to kill him.
I've never interested in any of them two,but I think Minato wins,shinra tensei would be a problem,but it has that 5 seconds as disadvantage,and Minato is the fastest ninja.Same to Chibaku tensei,he won't have enough time to do it.Speed here is a really relevant factor.
Please check this:

ST can be used on a larger scale but shortens Nagato's lifespan and leaves him unable to use it for SEVERAL MINUTES..
Question: How large the scale Nagato will use if he'll be defending against Minato's attacks? It's not wise enough for Nagato to use large scale ST just to deflect a kunai knowing the effect of the technique.
Look back to it's Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m), Far (10m+), the farther it is means the larger the scale.
If Nagato uses a smaller scale then the farthest would be 10m. Isn't this close enough for Minato to attack?
Everyone that voted for Nagato usually thinks Shinra Tensei to counter the kunai. It also means that Nagato knows Minato's technique because it will be the defensive measure each one of you can think to defend against Minato's kunai. The problem here is you are giving Nagato an advantage. Why? Because you are giving him the knowledge on how FTG works...
To equalize this, let's say Minato knows ST, CT and all of Nagato's jutsus and vice versa. Now, what's stopping Minato to use space time barrier the moment they confront each other. I'd say, he'll activate that jutsu running towards Nagato. What will Nagato do since space time barrier can divert away attacks?
Another thing is, to form a jutsu= mind(to think what jutsu to use) + moulding of chakra + handseals. If Nagato senses a kunai coming, the best way to counter it is by using ST. Before he knows what type of technique he'll be using, it was processed to his mind then executed by his body. Time is involved!!

Minato is in the head of bunta but he was able to teleport the kyuubi eventhough bunta is in the middle. It implies that Minato can choose what to teleport. If kyuubi is 100 times as big as a human and Minato only needed a portion of his chakra..let's say 50% then it means that he can teleport a human 200 times before he depleted his chakra.
Since teleportation is INSTANTANEOUS, how can Nagato react when being teleported? There is no time involved here. Will he be able to know that he's been teleported when it was not yet processed by his mind? If Minato teleported him to his placed kunais, it will be the end of nagato!! The thing here is, Space time technique is very hard to counter. If it's only FTG, then we can say that Minato needs to tag him, but Minato can teleport anything without the need of those kunais as shown in the scan above. The cost of chakra for his teleportation technique depends on how big the object is.
Now, think again how Nagato can escape the INSTANTANEOUS technique that Minato had. Always think about INSTANTANEOUS. NO TIME INVOLVE!! Can Nagato react to something which was not yet processed by his mind?
Counter for CT:
The moment Nagato uses CT and Minato throws a kunai at the sphere, what's stopping Minato from teleporting Nagato there? Please refer to the scan above. He teleported Kurama so there's no doubt that he can do the same to Nagato. Nagato can't use this because Minato will use this tech to his advantage. Just imgaine the sphere pulling all kunais on the ground in just one area. Minato can teleport Nagato there and end his life. We all know that Minato can't be trapped due to FTG.
By the way, how about ma and pa and the food cart destroyer? Can't he use it to his advantage? Not to mention, being a Hokage means Minato knows at least 1000 skills (including his affinity jutsu)
Are you blind? Did you see how Minato teleported Kurama? Can't Minato do the same to Nagato? You are right when you say that CT will pull all the kunais but it will give Minato the advantage because he can teleport Nagato there..:flaw: Fanboy? I've cited scans and facts! how about you?? Are you not speculating when you say that Minato can be trapped by CT when you knew that FTG can teleport him to any location where he's markings are?
Nagato wins. I'm a fan of Minato, but I'm rational when debating about him.

If we are talking about battle without preparation then Minato dont have his kunai-seals in Konoha and other far away places, which means that he would be helpless against CT.
dude i dont know what kind of obscure world you living in but i guess its a world that has been hit by a meteorite, and you and minato are the only survivors.
and some how you have to go about repopulating the earths species.
This is usually a reply from someone who can't think well. You can't even explain why Nagato wins. What you're best at is bashing others and calling them fanboy..Why not prove your point so all of us can understand? You can't??

Then without preparation/knowledge how can Nagato use Shinra Tensei when he doesn't know about FTG? Minato will use FTG 2 like what he did to Tobi if Nagato doesn't know how FTG works...oops..sorry for double posting
Minato teleported Kurama to another location. How come he can't do it to Nagato?
If CT pulls all the kunais on the ground then it means that they are all in one place and that's the sphere Nagato made. If there are kunais on that sphere, Minato can teleport anything there.
