Also, Hiruzen literally summoned another ninja in Enma who could conveniently transform into a cage which the vines could not break. Plus the DFE was cast by a heavily nerfed Hashirama that time. Also note he was barely caught in those vines for a few seconds before Enma broke him out. I can see Minato summoning Gamabunta but that would still only be a one time thing. DFE can easily take care of Gamabunta too, as it did Kurama. I think that it's unfair to assume so heavily in favor of one side. OP says Minato is trapped in a barrier, ok, unlikely, but ok. Now you assume additionally that Minato doesn't have any FTG marks outside the barrier? That restricts FTG: Guiding thunder, a large portion of Minato's fighting style and is inconsistent with his character in general. And Orochimaru doesn't seem to have any handicaps here. So, this just seems like trying to pin the tail on the donkey of how Minato can lose.

As I said before, contract seal on Orochimaru for the edos, and Minato gains two allies. That and Minato would probably seal Orochimaru away with eight trigrams seal, to be sure. As for DFE, FTG: second step would be fast enough to dodge that, despite convenient confined spaces.
