Not much of a difference.

There is a big difference. For all we know the sap who got it could have became a rouge ninja and became a criminal like Sasuke. All I'm saying the only thing I can say that makes Minato so great is his FTG which is fine but that's all you have to go on really. Battle begin, FTG then rasengan over and over again. That's boring and whether it makes him great its just not interesting.

Boring is irrelevant. In a fight, the point isn't to amuse or entertain your opponent, its to kill them. So if Rasengan spam, or FTG spam (or switch them up, if you will. Whatever makes the scenario work in your head), is what gets the job done (and it did, because he had a "flee on sight" order attached to him in the Third War), then there you go.

Don't allow yourself to be hung up on how flashy someone's moves are. I never said anything about an opponents moves had to be flashy and I meant boring for me. If you thought differently then that's you. Like I said those moves of his gets him by but what if he meets someone faster than him as Obito was and Madara. He became quite useless real fast because all he had was speed. Speed is a major part of fighting but that's not all you should give to yourself. I also thought it was quite gay to give Minato sage mode. If they said he was so godly fast and his reflexes was fast as well giving him sage mode seemed like another power up because Kishi is trying to hype him up cuz he knew he knew his skills alone stand in no comparison to the other Hokages.
