All Minato did was teleport and teleport, he wasn't even facing gai. Alot of things happened in that scene and Minato is simply getting false credit here. If you're gonna say Minato is faster (in reaction or what not) than 8th gate gai then:
 * Lee threw a kunai faster than Gai
 * Kakashi could use Kamui faster than Gai could reach his target
 * Gaara could transport Kakashi in range faster than Gai can reach Madara.

Now to add to those:
 * Gai was in mid air kicking air, which is way slower than running on a solid surface. The last kick he made, were Minato teleported was not to launch another seikzo,(where he displayed great speed even in mid air) but to seemingly physically attack Madara, which is slower. (than him using seikzo)

So it's either Gai wasn't on top speed at that moment, give the above + given that Minato in SAGE MODE couldn't percieve the swing of a juubi jinch arm, and the same for KCM minato, who percieved Obito's hand but couldn't get out in time. (referring to instances where Minato lost an arm to each juubi jinch).
