I recall the strain that Susanoo held on Itachi; Sasuke noted it as well, and I believe Sasuke suffered the pain of using Susanoo until at last he got the EMS. I am doubtful that Shisui would be capable of utilizing Susanoo for extended periods without having to take a rest. And considering that Minato was one of only two shinobi to evade A's fastest strike, I don't believe he would have difficulty evading Susanoo.

We've seen shinobi overcome Susanoo before, as well. Onoki obliterated Susanoo; Tsunado punched through one; Mei melted one with Boil Release. Who is to say that Minato couldn't mark the Susanoo in two different locations of the body and send them to two separate places? This would effectively destroy the Susanoo.

A good fight, and one I'd have been delighted to see in fluid animation. But Shisui is in over his head with Minato Namikaze.
