Except he was in position. He even started in the same stance that he used against Byakko. The fact was that he apparently couldn’t throw any of those punches before being sliced and diced.
His dashing forward does nothing to take away his punching speed.

No he doesn't. When Seiyuu throws his punches, you see his hand extended. He was to far fro hie..
Which doesn’t change the fact that a guy who can throw a hundred punches a second can obviously move his hands very, very fast. It’s not like he can only do so when his arm’s extended.
If he couldn’t even move those same hands fast enough to counter, than it says multitudes about Hiei’s speedblitzing speed.

I have. I think the problem here is that you keep confusing this as more travel speed than combat speed.
A guy can very well dash forward while still throwing blows at his regular punching speed.
