If he received some actual techniques, rather than just re-using the Flying Thunder God in... 'interesting' ways, he'd be a little more threatening.

I suppose it doesn't help that he was considered a powerful shinobi in an age where shinobi weren't extremely overpowered and capable of massive attacks on a consistence basis without any effort. Against other Kage-level shinobi (so, no 'gods' like Madara, Kaguya, Naruto etc) he'd probably do just fine, better than fine even. Someone like Tsunade would die in a heartbeat against him simply because they aren't immortal to ninjutsu like the Shinju jinchuuriki are. Wo way to hype Minato. First off she was bisected and was still alive. Whatever he uses I highly doubt would kill her in a heartbeat. Sorry to say. He'd beat her but definitely not that fast.
