Yes you're right. Without FTG he can't defeat Raikage. But with FTG he can. LoL. And, A will lose without the lightning armor. Also Sasuke would be weak without the Sharingan. Come on, characters have their own fighting styles. Don't know why users are stating pointless things like that.

@Rachin

I think @LoneNinja is right about Minato's speed. The difference between reaction speed and overall speed is obvious. In the instance between Minato and A, Minato's one movement was faster than a full speed A in motion. That says a lot. Minato could have teleported back to Konoha if he wanted to dodge A's attack instantly, instead he proceeded with his arm movement and flew to the air-borne kunai for a counter attack.

Yes he is faster overall, and no, he wouldn't just dodge A's attack. Minato's style of combat is to not allow his opponents a chance to react to his moves. Minato uses FTG because it is instant. It doesn't make sense to just dodge an attack and give your opponent an opportunity to react, when you can instantly counterattack.

Furthermore, later in the instance, Minato flies to his kunai in mid-air and then proceeds to turn around and attack A, A at that point is unable to move fast enough to dodge. It is Bee who comes to his rescue. Effectively, Minato managed to outpace A twice, while A was at max speed. That's darn impressive.
