User blog comment:Appelmonkey/Anime Season, Episode 6 SiFi/Kirito (Sword Art Online) vs. Neo (The Matrix)/@comment-17814994-20160319094650

Elgb's "These Are The Champions the PC Master Race Look Up To. Hail to the Kings!" EDGES!!!

Melee: This is a tough one I can assure you. In terms of skills, Neo definately gets this. Kirito's forte is in swordsmanship, specifically kendo/kenjutus with some striking here and there. But Neo is trained in way more martial arts, and with his enhanced strength, probably disarm Kirito and beat the living shit out of him. But we also have to take note that Kirito is packing more destructive power with his lightsaber. Although it has a limited battery, it does have the versatlity as long as it keeps going. It can be used as an offensive and defensive weapon, and the length of the beam is intimidating enough. In the end, while Neo has the martial arts skills, Kirito's sword has the major advantage of being able to end the fight in one blow easily and more efficiently. EDGE: Kirito

Handgun: Again this is a very tough one. The FN Five-Seven definately takes the edge in almost everything. It has the bigger muzzle velocity, the more elongated bottleneck bullet, the larger magazine and so much more. Its FN 5.7 bullet can puncture through level II body armor that was designed to stop the 9mm chambered in a M9 Beretta. However, Neo is still carrying two pistols. And while people may argue that dual-weilding is costly and innacurate, you have to know that this is Neo were talking here. His superhuman physicality and reaction time allows him to shoot two pistols like he was shooting frigging pellet guns (bad joke I know). So in the end I have to give them an even edge. EDGE: Even

Powers: Thankfully, this category is easier than the previous two. Both warriors are both strong and agile, but it seems Neo is packing a bigger set than Kirito. Kirito's only unique ability that sets him apart is his ability to not feel pain and see bullet trajectories. But Neo on the other hand, can tank multiple bullets to the chest, heal, stop bullets midair etc. This effectively nullifies Kirito's firearms and give Neo the edge. EDGE: Neo

X-Factors: In terms of training, I give this one to Neo. I can't really say, but he was trained by human rebels and rogues in the war agaisnt the machines while Kirito is just a gamer. But in terms of experience I do give this one to kirito, due to the fact that he's faced way more opponents in many different locations. He's got years of fighting experience than what Neo had during the first movie. EDGE: Kirito

Deadliest Warrior?

Scoot over SAO fans because your puny, ignorant, incest-loving harem king is getting his ass kicked in this battle. I'm gonna give my edge over this battle to the One... I mean Jesus Chri-... I mean Neo (dammit!). Neo is just packing way more power in this fight, and while Kirito is experienced and all, and he does have the better melee and slightly better firearm, Neo is superior in strength, speed and durability. Kirito's guns and saber ain't gonna do squat against Neo's impervious physique or his reaction/ bullet time. Most of all, I know this might just be theoretic (or philosophical XD) bullshit that I'm gonna gorge from my mouth, but I just want to say that Neo is essentially the "One" here. He's no god, but he was able to break through the Matrix and basically "hack" it in ways he wanted. This is something that Kirito, being a gamer and all, has trouble dealing with in the past (like his fight with Heathcliff or whatever his name). Kirito then, is basically fighting against Jesus Christ... the One... Neo XDXD
