Misconception: Susanoo has mobility problems

[Watatsumi]

Many times, people say that Susanoo anchors the user to the ground. This is just a widespread misconception, and isn't true at all.
In this thread, I shall try to present facts to prove my point.

1. Sasuke chases Itachi, while still in his Susanoo:

3. Madara appears behind the fives Kages in his Susanoo, without them even noticing:

4. Madara jumping in his susanoo, and using Kouka Messhitsu (Magnificent fire destruction) while still airborne - This means that Susanoo does not anchor the user to the ground, as widely proclaimed .
More importantly, Susanoo can grow legs:

5. Itachi in Susanoo rescues Naruto and B.
Notice how Itachi moves quickly and catches Nagato off guard, all the while being enveloped by Susanoo:

Well, I hope this has cleared a few things up. I suppose it would be correct to conclude that Susanoo does not have mobility problems, and that it's speed depends on the speed of the user.
This means that Susanoo need not be a sitting duck while the opponent attacks.

Sorry if I've merely stated the obvious, but I couldn't restrain myself after seeing that people are still going on about Susanoo having mobility problems.
Is there anything else that I've forgotten?

Sasuke Nor Itachi are Using a Full susanoo, They are just using the Rib/Arm. Most of the times we have seen mobility with Susanoo it's in it's First stages, Not it's full form. (with all the armor)

Madara's is the only one that has shown to have legs, Maybe it's a EMS trait.

We have yet to see the final stage Susanoo Move Freely like it's lesser stages.

susano is a manifestation of chakra.. I dont see why it should have movement problem.. If the user has movement problem then the Susanoo will have movement problem.

Its like Narutos Chakra.. It gives him speed rather than limit him. Susano rather than giving speed it enhances defense and also adds to arseneal

A completely drained Itachi moves towards Sasuke while in complete form at the end of their fight.

Wrong. Itachi was walking ever so slowly. I won't say it does either, but there is no supporting evidence to say that a FULL Susano'o does/n't anchor them to the ground. Guess we'll find out.

It wasn't it's final Stage.

I think it was One stage down from being in it's final form.

haters alway going to hate that why they underrate the uchiha

 

[Mayhem]

It might be hard moving with the full susano.. but other wise it doesn't seem to restrict the users movement

 

[Zatanna]

Hmm, well i guess thats true it wasnt in its final form.

 

[Mellanoma]

Due to the damage susanoo does to the body when you first use it i believe it does restrict your movements since it hurts like hell. Over time as you get use to it you can move with it like it doesnt even affect you. The bigger the susanoo the more strain on the body it does until you get use to it which sasuke seems to be effected by it less and less.

Final stage Susanoo can also move, look at this:
Itachi's Susanoo approaches Oro's Eight headed serpent.
