Your somewhat accurate but as far as we know that only applies to the First and Second. I think the Minato were seeing now (well when he had the Nine-Tails and two arms) was Minato at his full potential but he was underutilized (though not like the Third sweet Jesus). Anyhow I feel he is poorly represented, earlier in the series I assumed he was the strongest Hokage but then when I watch his fights he's underwhelming. Frankly I think he isn't as powerful as people make him out be. I have to agree with Cmpunkesy, I rank him below Tsunade in terms of power and skill as well as a Hokage (though he didnt have much to do and he died quickly).
