Exclamation point doesn't mean the spikes were so fast that the fodder couldn't react given that the fodders were able to react as was shown when they used katon to burn the spikes. The exclamation was just shock expressed that their comrades were dying.

The shinobi at the beginning of the first wave's body position supports a scenario where he doesn't see the spikes coming and exclaims in surprise when someone behind him yells in pain. With the distance at which the spikes came from, he really should be looking up not forward.
And i'm not sure the fact a Shinobi is no named means he is automatically a fodder.

is no named. But he just survived having a meteor dropped on the SA (him included) without assistance/protection from the main characters. And we know the meteor killed a lot because of

1. I don't know if we can compare them directly.
2. No.
3. Good point but to compensate for Sakura's relatively slow striking speed, she can either reel back her arm beforehand and start striking before reaching Hinata or she could simply put her palm on Hinata and knock her out with deadly medical ninjutsu.
2. Since you say no, then what's the criteria for not getting blitzed by someone faster?
3. The first part is very plausible but i'm sort of not entirely convinced Hinata get's blitzed without any form of reaction.
She

so she only needed to travel a very small distance. But you are right that Hinata would have reacted a moment before that event when the spikes were in point blank range.
The bottom panel shows she's slightly behind Naruto's left hand side though and she comes from his right during the pinpoint attack. Is it really point blank at that point though seeing as she still re-positions her body and Neji was still able to come in and intercept a few feet from her?
Juubi spikes had a much greater quantity than Sasori's projectiles so you can't just say Juubi spikes are faster. Sakura doesn't even have vacuum palm which is easier than physically dodging and she also doesn't have a Byakugan to pinpoint a large quantity of projectiles. This says nothing about Hinata's physical reactions being above Sakura's against an individual target that both can pinpoint just fine. Also being more reflexive than EP2 Sakura doesn't mean she'd react to a blitz unless the gap in reactions is larger than the gap in speed of the momentum of KN3 Kyuubi's chakra roar and the momentum of Sakura's CES.
Yes..Juubi spikes had a much greater quantity but since NV humans are still small compared to regular bijuu much less the Juubi, there was more than enough wriggle space in between spikes as we see

as opposed to the wriggle space that will be between Sasori's much more compact projectiles.
Sasori fight Sakura was able to dodge Sasori's projectiles but her advanced self was barely able to react to the juubi spikes despite the larger wriggle space and the spikes coming from a larger distance than Sasori's projectiles. In reality, those 3 supposed fodders actually did better than Sakura against the spikes seeing as they would have required handseals to use what i believe was a fire style jutsu.
Not to mention Hinata says the spikes were fast but since it was 'Hinata' that said so, everybody assumes the spikes were fast for her whereas when speed is referenced in the manga, most of the time it's to let readers know the person/thing being commented on is fast and not that the one who commented on it can't actually react to them just like RSM Naruto and the Juubi/Kaguya.
The beast was floating in the air but the chakra arms had already

It was the hand that absorbed the Naruto clone that went for Sakura i believe and we see at that height they are far above what i believe are mountains and the grounded Juubi is just about

Does increase in Chakra also increase reaction time?
