Tobirama vs Minato

[Mellanoma]

Based on Manga Tobirama has trumped Minato in all aspects except for Level 2 FTG.

Tobirama is:

Smarter
Superior Battle Analytics
Faster(Reflex/Reaction time)
Far more experienced
Superior Jutsu Arsenal (Edo, Spit GG, Pressurized water cutter, FTG amoung others)

The only situation i can see Minato winning is if they are both Edo as Minato has Superior Sealing jutsu based on Manga.

Other than that Tobirama wins Med difficulty


Also as for Senju. The Manga clearly states that they are descendants of Asura meaning they naturally have stronger life force and chakra reserves just like all of Indra's descendants have powerful eyes.

 

[Ambivalence]

Tobirama > Minato w/o Kurama, anyone who has read the manga can see that.

1) Minato's Hirashin > Tobirama's Hirashin Tobirama even admitted his was inferior to Minato's

:lol 2017 and people still haven't gotten that Tobirama was talking about Minato's Shunshin. His Body Flicker > Tobirama's, but that's completely irrelevant in a battle which would consist of FTG tag attempts, where reflexes make all the difference. Tobirama is quite superior to Minato when it comes to reaction speed, as he reacted to the Shunshin of a much superior and faster character than Minato.

Tobirama managed to tag Juubito before getting destroyed though Minato's striking speed was so fast Obito couldn't go intangible. I'd say Tobirama's striking speed is better because Juubito's shunshin>>Obito's mental reactions.

So Tobirama beats Minato in both reactions and striking speed, two of the most important factors in this fight. Tobirama mid diffs at worst.

He teleported at the back of his head. Otherwise, the eye makes the user intangible automatically. It had nothing to do with speed; Minato also accepts it. And if Minato's striking speed was so fast, then a mere Teenager wouldn't have tagged him twice without any difficulty and he wouldn't have utterly failed before to strike Obito.

Also, Obito wasn't at his full power then, as an old fart with poor reflexes like Hiruzen was evading him. The same Hiruzen who was steam-rolled into oblivion by poor forms of Tobirama and Hashirama.
