Ichigo didn't block Robert's attack, he knocked his hand away - not only was that after Robert caught him by surprise in the first place, it's not a display of Shunpo, as Ichigo just moved his arm.

Robert caught Shunsui off-guard? He literally went behind Shunsui and shot his right eye out immediately after Shunsui kicked him in the gutter. You can't catch someone off-guard from a close distance like that. Robert just happened to be too fast for Shunsui. Yet Ichigo manage to react to a point-blank range which Shunsui was incapable of.
