You can clearly see in the manga that the lava obscured his vision from seeing Ay coming. He was focused on the lava, and you can see his thought bubble confirming that, saying the jutsu was something that could harm him. The part where the rinnegan was literally focusing on Ay denies this greatly. He saw him coming..

And Like I asked, show me a panel where someone used their running speed in mid air lol. Madara chose to do a guard because it got the job done, Ayy failed to hurt him with it. The punch actually launched him in the acid he was avoiding...he chose to guard because he could'nt dodge,is another way of looking at it. Besides if he had just moved his head Ay would've been caught up in the acid as well cuz he was like heading straight there..

Itachi and naruto were doing taijutsu in mid-air, how is that running speed?

Sasuke didn't use his running speed to avoid bee in mid-air. He parried the punch and then used bee's back as leverage to summersault off of him. That is taijutsu speed/tactics amplified by sharingan, not running/shunshin speed. The rinnegan doesn't seem to have precognition, so that's why Madara couldn't replicate that feat against Ayy. Also, sasuke already had forward momentum from being thrown by Jugo, where as madara did not. It's apples and oranges we are comparing here. I never said Madara was supposed to use his running speed to dodge, it's obvious that you can't run in mid air, but what you can do in mid air is move your body parts. This is where you will have to take a second look at the examples i submitted cuz in those exammples characters are seen to be able to perfectly move a body part or two. If Edo Madara was faster moving a body part [head] to dodge would've worked, no?....and also like i said they clearly showed that alive madara was faster than edo, and that edo madara's only speed feat is running through fodders, is that speed comparable to ay's?
