Not really, considering Minato has spent his whole life in the village, while Orochimaru defected, and continued to develop techniques. Hell, even while he was in the village, Orochimaru was snooping around and abducting people to further his research. Not only that, but it was said the vast majority oppossed Minato's appointment and preferred Orochimaru - but i'm not about to argue with you, of all people.
Well Anko, Orochimaru's old student, wished Minato was still alive to face Orochimaru so she believed Minato was strong enough to beat her old master and she did know a lot of his jutsus since he taught her a lot of them.
the guy who was defeated easily by kyuubi's Claw ( one shot )
No

at least Obito Can make the kyuubi his pet through Genjutsu and Sharingan Lol
Except Kurama's claw only did what Minato's own jutsu was going to do and Minato already took control of Kurama away from Obito with his contract seal.
Yea to Ay he was unbeatable, but never Ay + B .... lol. Big difference mate.
Minato was stronger than them on an individual basis, but not in a 2 vs 1 , he already got stalemated by killer B in a 2 vs 1.
Notice how juubito and etc and all of Minato's edo feats have 0 to do with the fight......
- Ay attacked-
- Minato dodged-
- Ay Attacked again, knowing Minato will dodge-
- Minato dodges, and goes behind killer B -
- Killer B gets Minato right back-
^^^^ In no way in hell is that called "Minato was going to beat them".
As I said, hes better than them on individual basis, but when it comes to a 2 vs 1... no hes not stronger than them.
Well A and Bee were always a tag team partner back then so if A is saying Minato was unbeatable then he would be talking about 2 vs 1. Bee even trembled at Minato being mentioned by Naruto

. Minato's speed and smarts would help him defeat them. Nothing in Minato's arsenal short of RDS will kill orochimaru.
Well Orochimaru isn't unkillable, he said himself oral rebirth cost a lot of chakra so constant barrages that causes Orochimaru to have to use oral rebirth would drain Orochimaru and leave him for death blows. Contract seal takes away snake summons and he still have his toads as well.
Another thread to try to make Minato relevant again.
Minato had nothing that could get through A's lighting cloak. Normal resengan and FTG wasn't good enough..
So no.
Minato's physical strength was enough to have the kunai kill A, that's why Bee pushed A out the way as Minato was going to kill A.
I'm still debating whether he can beat Orochimaru or not.
Anko knows a lot about Orochimaru being his student and she wished Minato was alive to beat Orochimaru.
Hiruzen believed he might be able to, but Hiruzen also didn't know Orochimaru's arsenal.
Ebisu told Jiraiya only one of the Sannins could beat Orochimaru when he asked Jiraiya to help and Anko wished Minato was alive to take on Orochimaru when she knew a lot about Orochimaru being his student so I think Minato could have but Hiruzen was too old at that point and they had like 12-13 years of no war or big fights so Hiruzen probably wasn't staying in tip top shape but focusing on ensuring peace to his village.
Hokage has always been the strongest of the generation. That is a undeniable law.
you just showed him dodging his attack. Notice how he went after killer B , when Ay fully got all the kunais in his mind and was ready to blitz to anyone of them ;].
Well he went after Bee because Bee pushed A out the way when he was going to kill A so Minato went after Bee. Minato already shown that he can react to A's speed at point blank range do I don't think he really worried about A knowing where his marks were; the moment Bee interfered it became 2 vs 1 and he wasn't going to ignore Bee. This fight was more of them checking each other's capabilities and they fought much more after that.
How old was Nagato at the time before Minato's death? He's the only person who I could see being the strongest since Obito was inexperienced at the time.
Nagato was about a few years older than Minato I think, like around 3 years. Jiraiya found them as kids and trained then then he took only students after returning to Konoha which Minato was one of. We seen Nagato only use Gedo Mazo and Jiraiya said Nagato could use all elements so I don't think Nagato could use all of the Rinnegan jutsus that we see him use later on and relied on using the 6 elements more.
