Lol, saying Minato is being overhyped. He's the freaking fourth Hokage, the yellow flash. People ran and retreated when they saw him. Can't believe som people are saying because Shisui has knowledge on Minato while Minato doesn't know Shisui means anything.

Obito had all the knowledge on Minato, superior space time ninjutsu, the element of surprise, preparation and nothing to lose. Minato had nothing going for him in that fight, having to rush to save the village and his family, having no Intel on his opponent and having an inferior space time ninjutsu. All factors pointed towards his defeat. Yet Minato not only won, he stomped his ass, that's just how good Minato is. Shisui can have all the knowledge, won't help him because Minato is just that good.

Like I said, Obito>Shisui. Minato already stomped him, he'll batter Shisui all the same. And unlike in the Obito battle, Minato actually has the upper hand because he outclasses Shisui in one of his main aspects (Speed).
