A kunai clash may set it up, but it doesn't start the genjutsu immediately. It still takes more than that to use it though, physical contact specifically, and the amount of time it would take to gather enough sequences and physical sensations to use it Minato would have landed a killing blow. As for your other statement, Hashirama is way stronger than Minato (not even a contest), Minato probably could beat Tobirama after a very long tiring pretty much equal battle, we don't know how strong Hiruzen was in his prime, and Nagato would wreck Minato. Why did you even bring them up?
