Just because the Pains share vision doesn't mean that they can react to Minato. I give this battle to Minato. With the FTG he can counter even shinra tensei or Bansho Tenin. Most of the paths get assassinated with FTG + Rasengan before they even realize what happened. He can bring up Gamabunta to fight the summons of Animal Path, before killing the animal Path. Or even better, he can teleport them away, yo know, like he did with a massive Ten-Tails Bijuu Dama? Even Chibaku Tensei gets countered by FTG. If Ashura Path rushed towards Minato like he did with Naruto, he gets oneshoted, again. And Minato can claim all he wants that he sucks at SM, but the fact he can go in SM in a second (even if he would be able to hold it for just like 10-15 seconds) it would still be a huge amp considering his speed and how he deals with his opponents.
