Edo Tensei Itachi = No stamina problems = Overkill. I don't see how Edo Minato could counter Itachi. I'm sure Minato has a fuck lot of jutsus in his arsenal, which we haven't seen yet. Otherwise he wouldn't be the Hokage. But that would be relying on hype, which is not a valid line of reasoning in vs debates.

Itachi is wayy too smart, and there is strong evidence that he has the reflexes needed to match Minato somewhat (as others have pointed out, he was able to keep up with KCM Naruto). Part 1 Kakashi was unable to deal with Itachi's speed. So while Itachi's speed and reflexes may not equal that of Minato's, I think there's enough evidence that Itachi can keep up with him at the very least.

Edo Minato could win if he sneaked behind Itachi's Susanoo and Bijuu Dama'd the hell out of it. That is assuming that the Yata Mirror isn't omnidirectional. I don't think it is. But MIGshinobi, in another thread, has pointed out that, apparently, the Yata Mirror is indeed capable of changing its size. I'm still not entirely convinced, but there indeed is evidence in favour of that view. Couple this with the Yata Mirror's databook entry that says the Yata Mirror can change any of its attributes to counter an attack, then it seems that Kishi is saying that the Yata Mirror can somehow protect Itachi from the back as well.

But that sort of power would make Itachi nearly invincible, and a broken character. So I wonder if Kishi was just exaggerating, or if the change in size was an inconsistency in his drawing.

TL;DR: Edo Minato can win if he can destroy Edo Itachi's Susanoo. But Edo Itachi has no stamina problems and has ultra-haxx cheats such as the Yata Mirror and the Totsuka Blade. So I see the battle going to Itachi's favour.
