Ohh. I see. This explains it.
Whether he uses the Clay Bird or the C2 Dragon, the same thing applies, he still has to get high enough before the Raikage can reach him via Black Lighting or via a Shunshin enhanced jump.
Yeah, no. His threads aren't blocking the Raikage's Nukite so get any notion of that out of your mind.
How is he going to create it in the air when he needs the bird to take flight? Unless you are referring to him creating it while using the bird.
That was Deidara when he had gotten enough time to get high enough into the air, I clearly mentioned a different scenario in my post, not to mention Sasuke=/=Raikage. Raikage is physically stronger in every way imaginable and is faster in every way imaginable, he can obviously jump much higher and faster than Sasuke can.
Sasuke was able to jump

. Raikage is faster and stronger so he'd be able to jump higher and faster.
