...I know for a fact in that scene is that minato barely escaped, so his reaction is about lower than a weaker 4th raikage (comparing young ay to 4th war ay btw), and as we all know, reaction speed is always higher than movement speed, which is also higher than fighting speed. He didn't barely escape lol.I showed earlier that Minato reacted twice to Ay's attack, while Ay couldn't do anything. How is Minato's reaction speed suddenly weaker than Ay's lol? I repeat, Minato reacted twice, first throwing the kunai, second using FTG to teleport to the kunai in mid-air, and then using the said kunai to attack Ay from behind. Add to that dodging Bee's attack and simultaneously marking Bee's tentacle. That is pure speed, after Minato used FTG he used his speed to do all of that and Ay couldn't even react. Minato's reaction speed, normal speed and fighting speed are much higher than Ay's, I don't see otherwise.

...by kept up I mean as "kakashi was able to fully see and cope with 7th gate guy and super ultra suppressed ttj madara (who is stronger than a perfect juubito, who in a weaker form blitzed both tobirama and hashirama, who are both at least comparable to minato in speed) as well as his tsbs. and idk how fast tsbs are, but are surely faster than sm minato's max physical speed. That is you saying Kakashi's reaction speed is equal to his movement/fighting speed. Also, that statement is wrong in your comparison btw. So, if you say this for Kakashi, but disregard it for Minato, your argument falls flat.

Also, TTJ Madara is faster than TSB. While TSB are faster than Kamui, which Minato is also faster than. Like the Body flicker technique and lighting armor, characters use these jutsus to enhance their speed in some way. Any jutsu is a tool for a shinobi, as black zetsu said. Yes, it might not be their 'natural' speed, but if it enhances their speed in combat, then it makes them fast and that's all that matters.
