Why would it rely on movement speed when
EE is to do with strikes? How does that even make sense? Gai's speed actually
decreased in his 5th Step, evident by Madara not reacting to any of his other Steps [

] but then he suddenly reacts to his 5th Step. So how did his speed increase if Madara couldn't react to his other Steps but could against his final Step?
Furthermore, his Truth-Seeker Orbs traveled faster than 8G Gai did in his final Step [

On top of that, Gai
only took one step. The next time he took a step was after Minato had teleported out with Madara's Truth-Seeker Orbs [

And another thing, 6G Lee knew exactly where to throw his kunai [

If you're gonna ask why he would slow down, lemme note that he already had Madara incapacitated and no longer needed to use his full speed [

There's so many points supporting the fact that 8G Gai wasn't going at full speed, it's not even funny. 8G Gai was also kicking up air currents at his fastest speed yet nothing changed in the air when he moved to attack Madara in his 5th Step.
You're saying Minato's canonically dodged 8G Gai's speed (which isn't true) when Madara canonically hasn't. Meaning? You're saying Minato has faster reactions than 8G Gai.
Madara's attack missed because he didn't strike in time. Saying that Madara was moving back so his attack missed is a really poor argument tbh, especially when you consider the fact that he was moving backwards because Gai was making contact with his punches. He stopped making contact with his punches because he stopped to form the Hirudora hand seal, so therefore Madara stopped moving back. Plus, the gap between Gai and Madara was miniscule [

lol, he didn't canonically dodge 8G Gai's speed. Using that logic, it means 6G Lee can also react to 8G Gai. Hirudora's range is massive, so he doesn't need Minato to attack him head on for Hirudora to connect with Minato. He can use it anywhere he wants and it'll hit Minato, unless he teleports to a kunai that's out of Hirudora's range, which won't happen since Hirudora explodes quicker than Minato's reaction speed.
