A Shinra Tensei on the scale that leveled Konoha is basically unavoidable without prior intel.
Dude reacted to explosive tags on his newborn's blanket and outran an explosion in a split second.
You're going to have to actually argue the point from an underdog position if you think Minato couldn't handle Shinra Tensei. It took him two tries to figure out Kamui's weakness. I don't think he'll have any trouble figuring out ST mechanics.
Minato’s not reacting to that unless he already marked a seal in another city lol.
Pain can just bait Minato into entering his range and drop it.
Pain doesn't have the speed or stamina to spam ST enough to even hope to get lucky.
Universal Push/Pull also lets Pain manipulate Minato’s positioning and force him into using FTG defensively instead of offensively.
In a battle of attrition, Minato wins. In a game of inches and centimetres, Minato wins. In virtually any kind of confrontation, Minato wins because his skill set and style hold all the advantages that matter.
I’m taking the guy who, while heavily nerfed, still wiped out Konoha and could’ve sealed the Nine-Tails without sacrificing himself, something Minato couldn’t do.
Big whoop. He can't do much with it against Minato. That's the important part.
Pain simply has higher portrayal. Evident by the fact that Nagato was destroying KCM Naruto, Bee, and Itachi at the same time.
A teen Bee managed to analyze FTG btw, and he was punking Minato even while marked.
The panel below exists as well lol, Sage Mode Naruto was already stated to have surpassed both Minato and Jiraiya.

It makes sense, way stronger stats bar speed from FTG, Naruto pretty much already beat his dad in ninjutsu with rasenshuriken.
Rasenshuriken was completing a project Minato never got around to finishing. That doesn't take away from the fact he did learn space-time ninjutsu, sealing techniques and Sage Mode. Minato did not lack for high level jutsu in any respect.
Minato's humility aside, he demonstrated the ability to maintain Perfect Sage Mode indefinitely in battle and adjust his jutsu accordingly. The fact this mfer never used it in battle before turned out to be irrelevant. He never used jinchuuriki techniques either and had perfect control. Show > tell
With that in mind, I don’t think that Minato has much room for a clean win here, as his offensive output is limited compared to SM Naruto. Preta path powers just cancels out any Ransengan lmfao.
Preta Path can't absorb senjutsu, which Minato would undoubtedly use.
Put more thought into your next post, I ain't going over it like a failing paper again.
