Not all characters would escape, that I'll agree to.
Please explain how Pain is going to avoid Tsukiyomi or Amaterasu if Itachi decides to use it at the start of the fight.
Coming up with tactics the characters could use seems to be fairly pointless, given that it could go on and on.
The point was irrelevant. Pain saying that if Jiraiya used new his secret (new were nagato was) he would would have won has no basis here as nagato is not even in the scenario and none of them will know his whereabouts.
They cant move out of range because of how wide its range is. Also it attracts things towards the ball so even when they are trying to move out of range they will be drawn in and crushed.
Pain has shown good resistance to genjutusu (breaking out of the frogs sages ultimate genjutsu) as well as having some form of genjutsu himself. Its questionable if Tsukuyumi will work on him at all. Also the Pain bodies are just puppets, with nagato controlling their chakra flow, he could easily stop/restart it etc in order to stop the genjutsu. As for amaterasu, there are six Pain bodies which can be revived continuously. As long as Itachi does not hit the reviving Pain (he has no way of knowing which one it is) the pain bodies can be revived. also if itachi tries to use amaterasu or Tsukuyumi he is making himself vulnerable for the rest of the fight as he will be greatly weakened.
The main thing here is that Pain can oneshot alot of members of the team simultaneously with a fairly powerful shinra tensei and kill evryone on the team with chibaku tensei. His ability to stay out of range of most of their attacks also reduces the likelyhood of him being hit at all.
