Shisui was faster than Itachi as well. Really it was only Ninjutsu that Itachi surpassed him in. We never saw a full grown, max potential Shisui, so you can't argue that a full grown and healthy Itachi is better than a prematurely-dead Shisui who hadn't reached his prime yet. I believe it was said that Shisui was stronger than Itachi at the time of his death, but I'm not certain.

I think this fight depends on three things. Which Minato, Can Shisui use Kotoamatsukami, and what are the battle conditions? If it's Edo Minato this is no contest. He's one of if not the fastest Shinobi to ever live, and that's without the Kyuubi boosting his stats. If they came upon eachother in the street, got into a scuffle, and went at it then Shisui would be down before his eye even activated. Danzo managed to surprise him and take his eye in seconds, so he obviously can't use it instantaneously. If it's regular Minato(let's say right before Naruto was born) then it depends on Kotoamatsukami and its conditions. They never showed specifically how long it takes him to activate it in a spontaneous fight(only when he was somewhat prepared) so we have to assume he needs a few seconds to activate it. In that case, he loses. If it's instantaneous, it depends on the range of the technique and whether or not Shisui knows of Minato's abilities. Minato could run out of range, tossing his FTG kunai everywhere, and then take Shisui out it one millisecond. If this is a fight in which both people are prepared beforehand, I take Shisui. He could have his Mangekyo activated so that the millisecond he sees Minato he can activate it. Albiet Minato has a reaction time that is on par with the best of Sharingan users, and he might(keyword: Might) be able to ftg away before the genjutsu activates. I think that's about it.
