Uumm if you read my other post you would know that I am not trying downplay Minato. His credit is given. I'm merely trying to point out that Minato didn't casually do anything. He also showed a surprised facial reaction, not scared. This is the same for Kakashi. He was surprised that a genin could even use elemental jutsu at his age. He, like Minato, were capable of handling it, but they were surprised is all.

As far as manga goes, A's hair flickered up once he entered his mode, but it was hardly spiky like it was seen during his battle with Sasuke. Even in the manga, it's hard to tell if it remained that way or if it was just the effect of him entering the mode with the power surging through him. Again, A could have very well improved on the lightning armour since his fight with Minato. Of course, if that was the case, he still believed Minato was faster than him, so it's a minor issue for me.
