I do recall Tobirama saying that Shadow clones are slower, though, don't know if he was talking about FTG.

I didn't state Madara was going all out, so I don't have to prove it. Madara saw the transport technique before it completed transporting Ay and Tsunade, it was a reaction, all he did was lift up his arms. I do recall Ay stating that Madara was countering his speed. Notice the word, "countering", not keeping up, just as fast or out-sped.

My point with this is that you don't need to be as fast as or faster than your opponent to counter them.
