@Lorenzo

I'm trying to accommodate you. Trying to engage you in a simple discussion for the points listed in a previous post. I can understand that you are a bit tired of this, but I really want to get to the bottom of your logic and reasoning. As of now it seems that the instances of Ay vs Minato and Obito vs Minato happened quite differently in your opinion.

This is quite interesting, as you seem to take away from both of those instances that Minato's reaction speed is lower than his opponent. Despite the fact that it isn't. So specifically what part of those instances makes you think that?

Minato is clearly super fast, his style of combat revolves around speed. So, for any opponent, the hardest thing to do is land a hit on Minato. Moreover, Minato won't allow his opponent to weave signs in combat. This means blitzing is much more realistic for Minato.

For a fight against Kakashi, Minato will be well clued up on Kakashi's abilities. Kakashi won't have time to weave signs, so he'll be limited to only a few jutsu. Raikiri needs a straight-line attack, and though it is fast, Minato can dodge it. FTG is instantaneous, coupled with Minato's reaction speed and Minato is not gonna be hit.

Same for Kamui, Minato can use FTG to escape it. He did before and Kamui is not instantaneous. Minato's rasengan > Kakashi's Raikiri. Minato has larger reserves of chakra than Kakashi. Kakashi's best bet is to use Ay's strategy and try and determine where Minato would pop up and try and attack there, but easier said than done.

Don't see Minato losing this fight.
