@Rachin,

Even without feats, hype is all we got and we should never assume that characters didn't live up to their hype without proof. By hype, kakashi is superior, as already stated, advanced through the ninja challenge totempole at a far faster rate than sasuke, and also had the luxury (or misfortune) of growing up in a to a real Ninja War, giving him much more battle experience. Sasuke has not only seen way less battle his rate of growth is far smaller, and he has lost most of his Part one battle, while kakashi became world renowned, how do they even compare ????

I never said that kakashi was as fast as minato. I said he had experience fighting against a superior speedster. That experience means he has worked on trying to deal with someone significantly faster than him, kakashi and minato have no doubt sparred many times. As AsianReaper has stated, we have reason to believe that based on the chidori training kid kakashi is on the same playing field of speed. CS1 sasuke is perhaps faster, but not by ridculous levels, and given kakashi's experience, he will more than be able to counter sasuke's faster speed. Speed alone won't close the gap between sasuke and kakashi, Speed is just one category.

How is kakashi not a war hero???? He was known through the world as Kakashi of the Sharingan due to his prowess during the war? If he was a scrub then why did he become famous? How did he get in Zabuza'z bingo book?

Kakashi has low reserves, and so does Itachi, and look at how succesful they became. Stamina only matters if the battle becomes a battle of stamina, which it won't. Kakashi would just need to copy and counter 2-3 of sasuke's ninjutsu, taunt him about how he is better at using the sharingan, etc, sasuke gets annoyed, inevitably falls for kakashi's signature clone feint. This is literally why kakashi was feared as the Copy Ninja. We have seen the extremes to which he copies his opponent and uses it as a medium to deliver finishing blows. He uses psychological warfare, and sasuke, while smart, has personality flaws that can be exploited by kakashi's fighting strategy.
