minato was really a bad ass there is no ifs ands or buts about it

the fact is that by the time of the fourth war naruto had already surpassed him

minato couldn't do anything to obito because he was the juubi jin

had he been alive he would not have just rushed in and got his arm chopped off by the truth seeking ball slash staff he only did that because he was judging obito's abilities

as for kakashi and others spamming a specific set of techniques

I will simply reply with this

Fear not the man who practices 10,000 kicks once, but fear the man who practices 1 kick 10,000 times Bruce Lee

you see it doesn't matter how many techniques you have under your belt what matters is the quality of your techniques

the senju clan are known as the clan of a thousand techniques yet you do not see tsunade using thousands of techniques

more over people are not built to simply use everything they know in a fight. they will pick and choose a few techniques that are time tested and they have used the most and have the most skill in this is simple human nature
