He blitzed Edo-Nagato and would've hit him if the rinnegan wasn't linked. Not to mention his awareness and ninja iq are pretty underrated. Like how he tricked MS Sasuke and avoided amaterasu. We have speed feats from Bee as he was older. He basically was outclassing MS Sasuke. Sasuke could briefly defend, but was on the defensive and was hit after a brief scuffle.

Kakashi also almost managed a hit on Pain with their shared vision saving them. Jiriaya as well IIRC. So while impressive, it's speedster fast. It's not Ay or Minato fast.

His awareness and combat intelligence are both great, but that's been established since Ay and Bee's first encounter with Minato when Bee figured out what Minatow as saying and Ay didn't.
