User blog comment:Appelmonkey/Anime Season, Episode 6 SiFi/Kirito (Sword Art Online) vs. Neo (The Matrix)/@comment-3189283-20160321194310

Let's see shall we

Melee

In most normal cases an actual weapon would win out over an unarmed combat style any day of the week but in this case I'm actually going to side with Neo. The Kagemitsu G4 obviously has the reach advantage and can be used to inflict more damage than a persons bare hands could ever could but Neo's superhuman strength makes his punches all the more powerful and more importantly unlike Kirito his martial art skills can not be taken away from him whereas if Neo can manage to disarm Kirito of his sword then he's basically fucked.

Edge: Neo 

Pistol

Just like EA and Elgb below me I am going to call this one even but not because of either Pistols specific stats. Simply put neither of these weapons are going to make any sort of difference in this match as both of these warriors have proven that bullets are no threat to them. Neo can simply dodge out of the way of the FN's more powerful and deadly round and Kirito can just block the Berretta's greater number of bullets with his sword.

Edge: Even 

Powers 

Both have a simular set of powers but Neo's just seem to be that bit more effective. In terms of agility the two are pretty much even, both can dodge bullets and do crazy flips and shit but Neo backs this up with much greater physical strength and durability that allows him to shrug off most of what Kirito can throw at him. Now you might be thinking; Hang on a minute there Wass, Kirito can't feel pain, surely that means his durability would be greater? On the contary, not being feel pain is a terrible thing as you can't tell when you're seriously hurt and it will lead to you causing yourself more damage by pushing yourself too far and nowhere does it say that Kirito actually has increased durability, just that he doesn't feel the effects of damage in the same way.

Edge: Neo

Final Verdict 

Neo has this one in the bag. Kirito has the greater experiance and adaptability but Neo's physicality and superior training give him the advantage in this one on one battle. Firearms are basically useless so it comes down to close quarters combat and in that respect Neo win out due to his greater strength and durability which allow him to go toe to toe with Kirito and his blade, shrugging off his blows or dodging them until the he gets the chance to disarm him and once that happens it's game over for Kirito.

Neo: 3,500

Kirito: 1,500
