Shisui has not had a lot of screen time so I don't think it's fair to say he hasn't lived up to his hype. Shisui was stated to be able to defeat Itachi in taijutsu. From what I recall from Sasuke's and Itachi's showdown with shuriken, Itachi was able to form seals without Sasuke even noticing. This seems then that Itachi was faster than Sasuke and during edo Itachi's encounter with Naruto he was able to keep up with Naruto in nine tails chakra mode, which was shown to be able to dodge A's fastest attack which only the Yellow flash was also able to do.

Why do I say this? My earlier statement was: Shisui was stated to be able to defeat Itachi in taijutsu. Therefore, in terms of speed Shisui > Itachi > Sasuke, which logically means that Shisui would be at least be able to keep up with Minato. Though, despite all of this I still think Minato would be faster, but not much faster, why do people say he'd be much faster?

Regarding the BF, both Shisui and Minato are masters of that technique so I don't think it's compulsory to weave signs to use it. The FTG technique can't instantly teleport anywhere, an area first has to be marked to be teleported to. If A could make a mental note of where Minato's kunai were, I think Shisui with his sharingan would be able to as well.

But, now I see that Minato has a way to deal with Shisui's Susanoo, summoning Gamabunta on top of it to get through Susanoo and take Shisui out.
