You are ignoring the fight against Sasuke then, where he blocked Sasuke's shuriken with his own. Or against Kabuto where he blocked Sasuke's projectiles with ease to prevent them from hitting Kabuto and he wasn't even facing Sasuke. Kunai and Shuriken will not work against a serious Itachi, so FTG Second Step will never have the chance to be used properly. Itachi knows all about Rasengan, he knows Minato made it and he has seen how it works with Naruto, a 30% clone of a sickly Itachi has experienced it already. Shisui was a master with body flicker and raw speed and Itachi kept up with him just fine, as a 11-12 year old and before he even had his MS. Minato was said to be the fastest Shinobi alive by the time he was Hokage, well then he died so his title only holds proven to that time period. Same way Tobirama's title only held proven to his time period. There literally nothing showing he is faster than Itachi, he has used FTG for his best feats and that doesn't even really count as physical speed. FTG is literally the reason he was called the Yellow Flash and just like with Tobirama it was the reason they were each called the fastest Shinobi alive and even that was stupid, because FTG is not bodily speed, it is instant space time transportation. Minato may be faster than Itachi, which we can't really prove anyway.. but the speed difference wouldn't be big enough to be an issue for Itachi at all. So it comes back down to FTG and Rasengan being his only real viable options to fight Itachi with. While Itachi has more options to go with. Since we can't MAKE UP feats for people like some of ya'll like to do then we have to go with what we have seen them doing and what they have available, and going by that Itachi wins 6 out of 10 battles and Minato would win 4-5 out of 10 battles. At the very least they would be even with 5/10 battles each.
