Hello guys, I would like to debunk false claims appearing around Naruto forums that 7th Gated Gai is too fast for Rikudou Madara. Here I go
Those shapes I put in red circles are used to indicate impact in manga. Meaning, those show that Gai connected few blows with Madara's body, at least twice.
Of course there were moments where Gai made contact with Rikudou Madara's body while punching and kicking, but there is no proof that Gai landed blows on Madara instead of Madara blocking all of them while moving backwards to increase distance between themselves due to being overhelmed by Gai's taijutsu and being only able to react in time and block but no time for counter or to escape.
Exactly in my eyes it looks like Gai was attacking Madara while carging at him then Madara was blocking all of them while retreating/moving backwards because he was unable to counter attack Taijutsu assault made by Gai. Madara was unable to stop Gai but still was able to react in time to block, he was retreating/moving backwards because he felt unrelaxed and very uneasy so he wanted to create distance between himself and Gai but from picture you can easily conclude that Madara was in control over this situation, then he only got "?!" mark when Gai formed his hands in hirodura's typical handseal:
but Madara intercepted this attack splitting it in two halves right away showing his great reaction time surprassing even 7th Gated Gai:
^^ Madara was even able to move towards Maito Gai and swing his staff in his direction when Hirudoura was executed in split of seconds
Conclusion: 7th Gated Gai's taijutsu >= Rikudou Madara's taijutsu, Rikudou Madara's foot speed >= 7th Gated Gai's foot speed and 7th gated Gai's reaction time < Rikudou Madara's reaction time.
