Only Naruto in NTCM and Minato with FTG have dodged that. A was never mid-air, or floating or whatever. He was running. Even if he propelled himelf in such a way that he glided over the ground, he was close enough to plant his feet on the ground and use Body Flicker if he needed to.

He doesnt have to be using Lightning Straight to move at full speed. Declaring Lightning Stright doesnt magically make him faster. He could just as easily tackle or headbutt and still be running at full speed. Lightning Straight is his fastest punch. To add to that, he used a pumch at full speed, which is what Lightning Straight is.

Either way, A was all like "He avoided my full speed?!" And told Naruto that Minato was the only one fast enough to have ever avoided his full speed.

You are using a lot of mental gymnastics to rationalize Minato being inferior to A when the manga was very explicit about which of them was superior.
