To be fair, he almost one-shotted Kisame while he was in something of a precarious position.

That's right. 313In fact, I said "SSJ2" because he had the electricity sparks.

I don't see why Raikiri is thought to be so much stronger than Chidori, even if it was so pre-timeskip, Sasuke has trained with chidori for three years, and I would highly doubt if he isn't as proficient with it as Kakashi is now. When Deidara and Raikage fought him, neither one could tell the difference between Sasuke's move and Kakashi's.
Pretty much what Q said.
Also, Kakashi pours a lot more chakra into his version and so it requires more control. It might have quite a build-up, I think. Sasuke can use Chidori and its variants almost instantaneously.
I think Sasuke's Chidori, in of itself, has not changed from Pre-TS to Post-TS. All that has changed is that he has come up with a variety of uses for Chidori via Shape Manipulation, and that his limit for Chidori has been increased to an indefinite amount.

Of note, none of Sasuke's chidori variants are considered S-class jutsu, and raikiri is, which says something of it's power.
Ranks typically indicate the difficulty of the techniques, rather than their power. More often than not though, an S-rank technique is very powerful.
Meh, Morning Peacock is rather powerful, but it's in the same rank as a technique like Rasengan & Reverse Lotus, two techniques which I do not think are as powerful as Morning Peacock.
