He literally says to Naruto that there was never a Shinobi who could surpass Minato lol. And we know Ay is being specific to the time when Minato was alive. So yeah.

Another translation is Ay saying "A finer Shinobi never lived." Both of these are talking about him as a Shinobi, not about just his speed.

Also the fact that Sasuke's Chidori barely made a dent doesn't mean it's harder for other stuff to get through. Lightning cancels Lightning out. It's not cus Lightning Armor is inherently that much harder to penetrate, it's because the Lightning cancels out a lot of the cutting power of Chidori. Bee used this with his swords against Sasuke's Chidori sword and Kakashi used this to block Kakuzu's Lightning attack with his Raikiri.
