Minato's known for doing the same though, right? Also he was once distracted by the entire Kyuubi, but still reacted to Obito appearing behind him and swung a knife to Obito's head, then teleported out of Obito's Kamui. The Kyuubi is a big distraction, and Minato still reacted to Obito appearing out of nowhere behind him. If Minato had known Obito's abilities from the start, Obito wouldn't have even been able to grab Minato, Minato would have just moved.

In this battle, they both have full knowledge. So I think Minato's evasiveness will make sure he doesn't get hit, especially since Susanoo isn't a thing Itachi can keep going for too long (15-30 minutes at best, I'd say).

Even though I believe Minato would come out the victor, this full knowledge is interesting. Because with full knowledge of each other's abilities, I feel they both would avoid a solo fight with each other anyways. They'd wait for a more advantageous to take the other out (reinforcements, etc). Neither are ones to risk such an evenly matched death battle without reason. But alas, for the sake of versus we just assume they have to fight lol.
