Minato vs A

And it definitely wouldn't let him set it up in the situation you outlined of using it in response to a punch.

A knows about it now?

Why? I've never seen any limits on the technique. 😮

Seeing as how Minato is regared as the supeior combatant, what's really being argued now?

Oh! If you saw a barrier being set up, wouldn't you want to find a way around it.

That's just it, it doesn't look like a barrier is being set up.

Besides, A prefers to crash through defenses rather than get around them.

It worked for fighting Uchihas 😄

P.S: You'd expect A to have something like the Black Lightning since he's the son of the Third Raikage yet nothing?

Indeed.

And I do wonder about that. Black Lighting is a long range attack it would seem and that really isn't A's style I suppose.

darui is the successor of the black lightning

I understand Darui's the successor, I don't understand why the Third Raikage taught him over A.

If it's a bloodline limit, then why shouldn't A have learned since he's the Raikage's son?

Someone pointed out in the main Naruto thread a good point: That A has likely gotten stronger since he fought Minato.

So A pulling off a win seems a little more likely, though honestly I still kinda doubt it.

Oh my. What an insightful person he must have been.

Main reason I didn't bring it up. 😛

and minato lost his entire life

see what i did there? biscuits

Minato lost his life because he chose to lose it, not cause someone was good enough to take it. 😛

A lost his arm because he chose to lose it, not because Sausgay was good enough to take it.

Nah, he was. A just wasn't his main concern at the moment. awesome

That is true... and more and more it seems like a completely insane move. His super-bitchslap attack to Sasuke was not worth an arm.

I struggle to call it "manly," because how can something so stupid be manly?

If anything, Minato is leagues above A in intelligence. 😛

Well, A is not "dumb," per say.

He is just exceedingly stubborn.

But yeah, Minato is almost definitely more intelligent than A. Probably one of the more intelligent characters in the series I guess, the only characters that come to mind who I would say are definitely more intelligent are assholes like Madara.
