People love to tell lies. Minato said he hasn't used sage mode much in battle. Anyone who said he said "never" is a big fat liar. He has the markings of a "true sage", he obviously has some skill with it, considering he attacked Juubi Jinchuuriki Madara with it in an instant. If he can manage it against someone that powerful, then come on, Shisui is no big deal.

Anyway, sage mode isn't a factor because Minato doesn't need it against Shisui. Minato has already defeated an even greater Mangekyou sharingan user in Obito, and that fight lasted a couple minutes at best. In addition, Minato wasn't even harmed or scratched, he showed he can easily deal with Uchiha and Sharingan uses. Kakashi was his close student after all, and he was Hokage, so he is very knowledgable on how to counter the sharingan.

Minato is much faster than him as well, considering Killer Bee mentioned Shisui of the body flicker, so he obviously knew his rep. Yet when kcm Naruto blitzed kisame, he compared his body flicker to minatos calibre. Not to mention flying thunder God, shisuis eyes can't possibly keep up and track Minato. Just like sasuke a eyes could barely track the raikage. And susanoo? Don't make me laugh, not even canon, and the amount of chakra it uses and strain it causes, lead to Shisui passing out just after a few seconds. It's too slow to even touch Minato.
