point 2 your right it cant be backed up, except if you count circumstansial evidence fomr the stadium fight which doesnt actually state hes faster but certianly implies it, also the stadium is good in that IIRC it was counted as part of there competition right? so form that we can take it that not all the competitions are actually fights, but rather some are contests between the two.
point one, you cant really say it makes it more difficult as gai is used to it. but you still have to take into account the fact that its ok if he can see and copy the moves, but if he cant defend thats the key.

and again ill state that i dont think gai is the only one who would beat him, or that he would hammer him, just that hes most likley!
Even if Gai is used to it, it would still be less effective than looking at Itachi head on. And why wouldn't Itachi
be able to defend? The sharingan helps him see the attacks coming.
