If he received some actual techniques, rather than just re-using the Flying Thunder God in... 'interesting' ways, he'd be a little more threatening.

I suppose it doesn't help that he was considered a powerful shinobi in an age where shinobi weren't extremely overpowered and capable of massive attacks on a consistence basis without any effort. Against other Kage-level shinobi (so, no 'gods' like Madara, Kaguya, Naruto etc) he'd probably do just fine, better than fine even. Someone like Tsunade would die in a heartbeat against him simply because they aren't immortal to ninjutsu like the Shinju jinchuuriki are. Wo way to hype Minato. First off she was bisected and was still alive. Whatever he uses I highly doubt would kill her in a heartbeat. Sorry to say. He'd beat her but definitely not that fast. Alright, maybe a heartbeat was an exaggeration. The point is that she couldn't just keep tanking surprise Flying Thunder God delivered Rasengan and other techniques like Obito could, she'd probably get hit by the first one, and she only survived bisection because Madara ignored her once the fight ended, which Minato isn't overconfident enough to do. How do you know how overconfident Minato is or not. We've barely seen him enough and in action. All in all we get from him he's cool, collected and nice. But for all we know he could be cocky seeing how nobody has beaten him so to speak and that can make someone cocky. Sasuke for example.
