Why was Kakashi so surprised at Haku's seal speed when Minato could do the same?

Its a retcon.
Just like Hiruzen's 5 elements.

Hiruzens 5 Elements isnt a retcon, he was hyped from the very start of the manga as being able to use every jutsu in the village. The village is composed of Water, Fire, Wind and Lightning users. I have said from day one that Hiruzen was stronger than people gave him credit for.

Minato is a minimalist. Why use 1 handed seals when tech's that don't require seals get the job done?

Minato is 16 years Tsunade's junior, Tsunade is now 54 so she was 38 when Naruto was Born which would make Minato 22 at the time of his death. He was still a VERY young ninja, if you're implying his age was a factor. And, the way he performs it, makes it seems as though he's been doing it a while. Need I get the scan of Minato's genius hype?

Are you Sir Derp Obito double accounting or are you just copy/pasting his statements? There's little to no basis for that age because it comes from an assumed, invalidated timeline from an alterable data site.

Fair enough. That at least makes some sense.

If you had actually read all of my post, or at least fully conceived it, you'd realize I said the exact same thing.

because minato never used it in front of him, why you think kakashi must know every minute detail about minato?

minato died early, he didnt even get a chance to tell obito that his mark never disappears lawl

Just means Minato had the ability to do one-handed seals, but since he never lost an arm while alive, never needed to, so he never did, so Kakashi never saw it.
I think this pretty much says it all.
