User blog comment:Appelmonkey/Anime Season, Episode 6 SiFi/Kirito (Sword Art Online) vs. Neo (The Matrix)/@comment-2217541-20160319195206

My edge goes to Neo. I don't know a whole lot about guns, so I can't really make a decision there, but it seems like Neo trumps Kirito in everything else. With melee weapons, a sword may seem more dangerous than fists at first glance, but Neo has fought swordsmen before (I know that's in the second movie, but he didn't really seem like he was using any of his powers as the One in that particular battle), plus he never really has to worry about being disarmed. Kirito's power to see the trajectories of bullets before they're fired is going to be a critical factor in this fight, but he still has to worry about dodging them. Neo, on the other hand, is known for dodging bullets and looking amazing while doing it. He also defeated Agent Smith, a computer program who probably also can't feel pain, even before becoming the One. Finally and most importantly, Neo has gone through actual combat training. That's going to be a crucial factor in a battle against someone who's just participating in a computer game.
