Nagato has a wider arsenal and insane versatility, that is undeniable. That will give Minato lots of trouble, because every time he thinks he can finally finish nagato, nagato can play a new hand of cards after minato has seen through the first one. But the issue is, Minato is an analytical fighter. Everytime nagato surprises himsomething he has FTG to get out of the bind. Minato has better reflex feats and general speed feats. Nagato's best feat was running after a killer bee who was in mid-air. Impressive, but is that really anywhere near minato's level? After that, he simply surprised and ambushed naruto and bee, with, hint hint, his versatility and unorthodox arsenal. Naruto never fought the chameleon or ningendo before, and killer bee had no idea nagato had shared vision. But, see, those traps can never put down minato, because I really believe atm that the speed and reflex difference is significant. Nagato has enough reflexes to definitely use shinra tensei in a bind, but everything else is kinda questionable Minato learns from each one of nagato's tricks, and FTG 's versaility is the insane speed and positional control he gains. Nagato has no knowledge on this, and has never fought someone as fast minato, that much is pretty much fact. He will be in the same boat with minato. Nagato would be busy trying to learn how to deal with this unprecedented speed, and minato will be busy learning how to deal with the rinnegan's hax. Since both oppponents can counter each other, I firmly believe this battle comes down to who can outsmart who, which I have to give to minato. SM naruto was running tactical circles on nagato, and even Jiraiya to an extent after they learned about his abilities. Minato may have less stamina but he has never been seen exhausted to my memory, so there is no way you can definitvely say that nagato outlasts minato before minato figures out how to land a decisive blow. not enough info. I actually probably give this to nagato maybe like 2/10 depending on if minato can counter chibaku tensei effectively with FTG or not.

To recap: Speed:Minato Reflexes: Minato

Experience and skill: Minato, though, his experience advantage is lessened due to the fact he has not fought the rinnegan before, the best we can give him for this is MAYBE he knows about it because he did watch naruto's battle with Pain from the inside.

Intelligence: minato

Overall Arsenal: Have to give this one to Nagato because rinnegan is haxed and varied

Power/durability/endurance: Nagato, but minato should be able to overcome the durability advantage with precise and lethal attacks, remember we have seen the ashura path bleeding before. So as, I said before minato likely wins with extreme difficulty well maybe losing a couple of times out of ten.
