Yes it was since Kishi wrote this manga not Itachi.
You mad at a fictional characters success... Aw how sad

Let's be honest about minato...
He's a BASIC shinobi.
He's only powerful because of a jutsu that's too fast to be countered...
The jutsu makes minato who he is... Itachi makes the jutsu

Ask who actually become a real KAGE...Ask yourself who became captain of ANBU at the age of 13 and was capable of thinking like a Kage at the age of 7
Took him few seconds to figure out Obito's ability. While it took others hours.

Minato imo. All things considered. Chap didn't have hax MS techs. Just him, his brain and marked kunai.
Itachi hardly relied on his Mangekyo techniques.
During the War Arc, that was made clear. He made a thorough analysis on Nagato's Rinnegan, effortlessly countered it with Shurikeninjutsu, and casually analyzed Chibaku Tensei's weakness. Bee even admitted that Itachi was more than just strong and yet made no remark to Minato. Likewise, Kabuto commended Itachi for his battle instincts. It's clear that Kishimoto wanted to emphasize just how intelligent Itachi was.
Minato only has FTG to fall back on. He lacks the versatility and skill that Minato has. Without FTG, what can Minato do?
Likewise, if Itachi didn't have the Mangekyo, what can Itachi do? I can guarantee you that Itachi is far more skilled and could do much more without his best ability compared to Minato. Minato's entire fighting style revolves around FTG. Itachi's doesn't.
You're full of shit. Genjutsu was his main thing. How many crows did you see thanks to him?
How did he defeat Nagato? Totsuka susano blitz. This thread is about battle smarts and instincts. Kishi just wanks Itachi and gives him asspulls like izanami.
Exactly. Minato has no KKG so he's forced to use his brain more. He does have rasengans. Speed to match raikage or something similar as he nearly killed him and Bee. sealing jutsus and rasengans btw. Itachi has fireballs and shuriken without sharingan.
That wasn't his only thing and even then, he enhanced the technique even further. It was a powerful genjutsu created by Shisui, but Itachi used it very effectively through clones and feints. Genjutsu was hardly something he relied on as shown against both Nagato and Kabuto.
He resorted to the Totsuka blitz because Nagato was an Edo, so he needed to seal him and he held back against Kabuto.
This at all doesn't refute the fact that he analyzed Nagato's Rinnegan, countered Shared Vision with mere Shurikeninjutsu, and analyzed Chibaku Tensei's weakness. Against Kabuto, he perfectly analyzed all of his attacks, duped him with feints, and devised a strategy for Kabuto to fall for the same trick twice. What has Minato done that compares to this?
Nothing. His tactical prowess doesn't compare and his fighting style is simplistic and boring without FTG.
Lame argument. Out of everybody in the manga, it's mostly the Sharingan users who are commended for their tactical prowess by the Manga and Databook. Kakashi, Sasuke, and Itachi are both praised for their tactical prowess. The KKG argument doesn't work. They merely use the Sharingan to supplement their abilities, but it's clear through the Manga and Databook that Sharingan users are tactical fighters in general.

Torune and Fu figured it out in the first clash with Obito just like minato did he only was successful over them due to being faster than an inexperienced 13 year old Obito... Some feat
I'll pick the guy who analyzed the Rinnegan's techniques in well under a chapter, the guy who could plan an entire fight in advance and have it go his way, and the guy who analyzed SM Kabuto's techniques perfectly.
