Minato wins.

There are many factors why.

Sound Four have the reserves and the abilities of super Genin (the people who literally killed them). So a Barrier of that magnitude isn't gonna last forever. Minato's reserves (which is confirmed high enough to learn Sage Mode) will outlast them.

Tobirama and Hashirama in part 1 weren't that amazing. Hiruzen who was so old he couldn't even make 2 Shadow Clones without it being a risk to his health, fought them, and Orochimaru while stalemating it. In fact, Hiruzen kept up with all of them just fine. They weren't blitzing him and utterly destroying him. Nah, he was doing fine because they were extremely weak variants of themselves (actually pretty sure the writer didn't know their capabilities yet). Now if Hiruzen is keeping up with all of them, Minato is speeding past them, cause his main power is speed which is why I think he is so popular cause the majority of people love speed. So they can't keep up.

Ftg is op. Tobirama doesn't have it since he didn't have it in part 1. With Minato's speed, Flicker, and FTG, Minato is speed blitzing everyone. Minato has the speed to toss a kunai passed a Raikage in Lightning Armor who is point-blank running at him full speed and intent to kill. Doubt any of them are ever getting near him unless he allows it. Mind you this is the same Raikage who was outspeeding Naruto in KCM and compared them both when it came to this type of dodge.

This fight heavily favors Minato since he can speed blitz them. Orochimaru doesn't have the speed to fight Minato at this time. Part 1 characters are vastly inferior to part 2. If you want Minato to get pulverized, you need to make it part 2 variants. Cause I'm pretty sure anyone in part 2 probably has some chance in this fight.
