The question asked here, can Minato beat Orochimaru when he's at his best. No, I don't think so. Orochimaru has not only his own skills, but a body made from Hashirama's cells. That means he has not onlt\y his own regenerative skills, but Hashirama's healing power to some extent. And since Hashirama is a sage a body made from his cells would be capable of doing allowing Orochimaru to use his own senjutsu. Plus wood release, plus Impure World Ressurection. This battle ends with Minato fighting an Wooden 8 headed regenerating snake dragon sage. With heads that are being ridden by the first three Hokage. Can Minato beat that? My money is on no, but it'd be cool as hell to watch anyway.
