User blog comment:Appelmonkey/Anime Season, Episode 6 SiFi/Kirito (Sword Art Online) vs. Neo (The Matrix)/@comment-4698460-20160324233811

I swore that I had voted on this, but okay here we go!

Melee: Neo. Neo's Martial Arts give him something that Kirito does not have: flexibility. Yes, Kirito can use his lightsaber-knockoff with his gun, but with the various forms of martial arts that Neo knows, he probably knows one that has to do with combat against both sword wielding, gun-wielding, and maybe even gun-fu fighting combatants. He can also probably quickly switch to an offensive fighting style to put Kirito on the defensive, so... Neo? I don't know, I haven't seen the Matrix or SAO, and people tell me to watch them.. so... *writes down on 'to-do' list*

Pistol: Neo.  Rule Number 1 of being an M1911 Fanboy, Never vote for the Beretta! I mean, excuse me... um... The beretta is limited to 10 rounds, but he is duel-wielding them, so that evens that out. While duel-weilding is normally pretty hard to do, but I guess Neo is good at it? The only real reason I have for giving this to Neo is that the saber-thingy can overheat, and if it does it'll leave Kirito without a weapon for deflection of bullets, and the Beretta does pack slightly more power so.. Neo?

Powers: Tie. Both can dodge bullets, and both have super-duper agility. Neo may have superstrength, but Kirito can block bullets and can't feel pain, so.. I have no idea what's better. So tie.

X-Factors: Kirito. This is where Kirito Strikes Back. Brutality and training is one thing, but training isn't everything. Kirito has the XP Bonus. They can both Adapt pretty quickly, but Kirito can use his quick adaptions alongside his XP to probably make quicker Adaptions?

Deadliest Warrior: Neo!!! Neo of the Matrix gets the edge over the black swordsman. Kirito may get the X-Factors edge, but Neo get's the weapons edges. In terms of skills and powers, they tie, but the fact that Neo's weapons are superior to what Kirito is packing. Kirito may have the XP, but Neo is just packing to much superior firepower and combat skills to win.

Voter's Note: I have never seen SAO or the Matrix, though I have heard of both repeatedly, so take my vote with a grain of salt if you must.
