I was doing some thinking and just some real simple math, and thought about who would be faster in a nearly instant situation. We've already seen Minato teleport to a mark before Ei could hit him, but what about an 8th Gated Gai?
Well lets get started on my argument.
Gai first demonstrated his speed when talking to Sasuke near the beginning of the first Chunin Exams, right after Sasukes fight with Rock Lee. Sasuke blinked and Gai had vanished from his vision. As Sasuke opened his eyes Gai was already behind him. The average blink takes 100 - 400 milliseconds. For the sake of argument, lets say Sasuke took the longest blink at 400 milliseconds. So it took Gai 400 milliseconds to be behind Sasuke at the range, max.
The average human reaction time is 261 milliseconds. It takes 261 milliseconds for an average human to react. Now Minato is obviously not the average human. So lets take 61 milliseconds off the reaction time, to make up for him being so experienced. 200 Milliseconds is considered peak human reaction time. Thats about as fast as you'll get in real life. But this isn't real life right? This is Naruto, so lets take off another 100 to account for Minato being a general bad ass and Hokage of the Leaf. So he has an inhuman, impossible, reaction time of 100 milliseconds, Minato does.
Now if you've been paying attention I've given Gai the short end of the deal, and gave Minato a LOT of slack. Minato has an impossible reaction time, and Sasuke supposedly took a long ass blink while Gai made his way behind him. So now we account for Gates.

Now 100 times seems a big exaggerated right? Not really, but AGAIN for the sake of the argument and any Minato fan boys out here, let me give Gai the short end of the stick. We'll cut the 8 gates boost in HALF.
400 milliseconds / 50 = 8
That means 8th gated guy, it only takes him 8 Milliseconds to be behind Sasuke at the range they were at, a big difference from 400. And this is after cutting Gai down to his absolute lowest. Now how many milliseconds does it take Minato to react? 100 right? That's an inhumane reaction speed. Lets cut it down EVEN MORE just for the hell of it. I'm giving Minato fans a lot of slack here. Lets take one fifth off of the reaction speed. 80, he can react at 80 milliseconds.
80 / 8 = 10
Gai can be behind Minato 5 times over before Minato reacts to the first instance of Gai moving. Gai could move faster than Minato could react and think about teleporting. While Minato can move from one place to another instantly, he has to actually activate the jutsu, he has to think about using it, and Gai simply moves faster than Minato can THINK about using FTG.
Please, if I screwed up anywhere, used botched logic, anything like that, point it out so we can correct it. Am I missing any factors? Keep in mind this is not a vs, they're not fighting, I'm simply seeing who would be able to react faster if they were at mid range and Minato had to dodge an attack from an 8th Gated Gai. Intelligent Arguments welcome!
