Yep, I also think that it was strange for Minato not to combine SM and KM, while Naruto did it. Yeah, he seems to be inferior in senjutsu use to Naruto, but the latter himself mentioned he can gather nature energy in KM even faster, it'd solve Minato's long preparation time as well. Actually, I had an assuption that an idea of Minato using SM was added into the story later on, that's why at this point he wasn't supposed to use SM at all. However, I'm not sure that Hiruzen would be able to take on Madara. In fact, I still wonder why he has shown up only when Juubito released the God Tree. I mean, okay, he previously got some serious damage, but reanimations tend to regenerate comparatively quickly.
