@ghost_rider1:

You are out of your mind....Neo will definitely get hit

Hit by what? Neo has far better reflexes, much faster combat speed, an overwhelming advantage in actual skill. Clark has absolutely no way to land a hit in the fight. And even if he does, neo has taken far worse than what he can dish out. Also:

the rain made it look like the shockwaves were bigger than what they really are....

...That's not possible. And even if the shockwaves looked twice as big as they actually were, that still vastly outclasses clark's.

Took worse???? What movie have you been watching???

Exactly. What movie have you been watching?

Neo was bleeding after about two hits from Smith. And the hit that hurt neo wasn't even a hard punch whatsoever.

That was before neo chose fighting back, before smith gave his 'life should end blah blah' speech. Neo's powers vary on his belief, as it is clearly reflected in the fight. He wasn't bleeding from the impact that shattered a block later.

No way is neo gonna tank hits from clark. Its the other way around, Clark can take any hit that Neo can dish out

Not really. Clark hasn't taken punches as fast as neo's without getting groggy. Heck, he hasn't taken punches that fast to begin with. Neo has more than enough damage output to KO clark.

Most important problem here is clark has no combat speed feats saying he could land a -single- hit on neo, ever in his life.

well, the healing. He literally heals back from half a dozen bullets to curbstomping an agent, and then from being nearly unable to stand to landing time-stop punches just because he chooses. I always wondered. What'd happen if neo chooses to keep fighting, or smith doesn't give the 'it is inevitable' speech?

I mean smith's going to run out at some point isn't he?

I wouldn't exactly call that healing. He just wiped the blood off and got back up. It just shows that he had determination. Neo never fully healed from anything. When he got slammed into the ground, he could hardly stand. But his determination made him keep getting back up no matter how many times he went down.....but that determination has a limit also. Neo was too tired and hurt to fight at his full strength once he got back up.....so to say that he "instantly heal" is extremely over exaggerating it. He isn't gonna tank hits from Clark. And Clark might not be a super omega martial artist, but you cant honestly say Clark "cant hit" Neo. He CAN hit Neo. It might take awhile to get that hit. But if Clark is determined to win...he is going to get some hits regardless.

@ghost_rider1: Oh well we're just going to have to come back to that. Because they became equals after Neo set him "free".

"When Smith absorbs the Oracle, the process apparently grants him her powers of foresight, as well as reality-bending powers equivalent to those possessed by Neo. Towards the end of the film, Neo engages a single Smith, the one that was created from the Oracle, in a seemingly endless struggle between two forces of equal might."

They are personification of yin and yang. The only reason Neo "let" Smith absorb him is because he knew one could not exist without the other, otherwise they would stalemate. That's why his "powers" didn't effect Smith like you questioned, that's why he was bleeding(as was smith) when trading blows. I don't think it is limited to "small" objects that in itself is as much as a speculation as my statement was. It is clear and constantly reinforced that Neo does what he chooses to. Like when when Smith asks why Neo still persists, responding with because he chooses to, this doesn't necessarily mean he can take control of the fight if he wants to, but I think it means he can keep going on if he wants.

considering at least in the first movie he healed from certain death? Smith practically emptied the revolver in him iirc. seemed more than just determination to me.

Not really. Simply 'determined to win' isn't going to give him the reflexes needed to see neo's punches, combat speed needed to tag neo, and even assuming he gets both, the skill required to land a hit on someone that skilled in martial arts. There is practically nothing saying clark could ever land a serious hit on neo. And even if he can, neo isn't going down easy. He did have some serious damage soak, first the falcon punch and then the block-shattering drop.

What's with healing and reality warping Neo?

The only time he healed was when he actually became the one, otherwise, he wouldn't need to use his TK anymore in the 2nd movie.

If he can warp reality, why the hell did he have to speak of choice, why not just change the outcome afterwards.

And with the time-stop punch thing, slow-mo.

@rpottage:

Those weren't even desperate situations. His desperate situation move is to use his speed to crash people into things, and to snap someone neck.

They were desperate situations. He HAD to use it to destroy the ship, he HAD to use it to get Faora and Nam-Ek off of him, and he HAD to use it to melt the beam because he had no time to evade it and was caught off-guard. He doesn't use it offensively, it's not his go-to move.

Being hit by multiple powerful things and still going is tanking; and only needing a minute to recover means he was merely dazed for a second; and then he kept going. Neo meanwhile was still scared of normal bullets.

More of a reason for why it's completely possible for Neo to knock him out. Superman is not invincible.

It's not impossible because Clark has better blitzing speed (with is based off travel speed in this case, not punching speed); and he doesn't have too drag him. Superman is the only one with a ranged attack; and he feeds on solar energy. He can just fly there, become more powerful by being better exposed to the solar energy, and use his heat vision to try and snipe at Neo when he least expects it. Neo's pretty much forced to try and figure something out. And since it's peaceful he'd be willing to do it, and if Neo tries to force a fight by threatening others he opens himself up for a massive blitz.

Clark has better blitzing speed? That's debatable, but Clark's straight-lined blitzing speed will be useless in here when he's facing an opponent he can never dream of tagging ever. That combat speed/skill gap is too much.

Also Superman blitzing Neo won't end the fight. Superman's ranged attacks are useless, Neo can side-step them, or even counter it. Neo still wins.

Neo fastest punches wont do nothing to clark because he don't have the power to hurt Clark even in the slightest. Every punch landed in the MOS knock their opponents back. Neo landed what seemed like a hundred punches on Smith and he stood there and took it. No way will Neo or Smith still be standing in the same spot if they got hit by Clark. You mentioned the falcon punch and block shattering drop will durability feats. Clark will easily shatter blocks with normal punches. Clark and Zod's punches was breaking SKYCRAPERS....Neo and Smith punches was cracking windows........"HUGE DIFFERENCE"....and to make it even worse.....Neo and Smith was fighting INSIDE a building which is PROOF that they don't have the striking power of superman. Clark and Zod couldn't possibly fight in a building without tearing it down with their striking power. And the only thing Clark needs to do is ram him with his flight speed and grab him.....after that, its game over for Neo. A few punches or simply just heat vision end this fight.

Compare Neo and Smith flight fight to Sups and Zod?

Compare Neo and Smith H2H fight with Sups vs Faora and Nam? I bet a Neo and Smith vs Sups would still end up with Sups standing in the end.

You think Neo's durability is > Sups? Come on. Sups tanked a laser close range and get no damage.

When Clark land a few hits(which he eventually will) and daze Neo....he's not gonna be able to choose to do anything when Clark hits him with heat vision because it will kill him. If Neo was soooooooooo powerful. Then WHY STOP BULLETS??? He obviously would die if he get shot right?? If he can keep getting back up time and time again. Why not let the bullets hit him......then he can "choose" to get back up and continue. That warping ability doesn't work like you may seem to think. HE IS NOT A GOD!!!!!! HE IS A MAN!!!! THATS WHY HE BLEEDS!!!! AND IF HE BLEEDS, HE CAN ALSO BE KILLED.....I cant make it any more clearer than that.

Clark is a bit more durable than Neo, that's true, but it's not something Neo can't overcome.

@ghost_rider1:

You realize you said two opposite things in the same statements? Neo's punches are far faster than any of the kryptonians. More than enough to hurt clark.

Every punch landed in the MOS knock their opponents back.

That's because of their serious lack of combat speed and any kind of skill.. They are unable to stop themselves before the punch carries them a block's worth of distance. That's... really low reflexes.

Neo landed what seemed like a hundred punches on Smith and he stood there and took it.No way will Neo or Smith still be standing in the same spot if they got hit by Clark.

first, they won't get hit by it.

Second, they won't even move a foot, because they actually have reflexes to realize before the punch carries them several feet.

Third, clark will already be hit by half a dozen punches, each faster than his own by the time he could finish a punch. Game over.

You mentioned the falcon punch and block shattering drop will durability feats. Clark will easily shatter blocks with normal punches. Clark and Zod's punches was breaking SKYCRAPERS....

That's a complete claim. no punch clark has ever done says he could do block's worth of damage. Consider the size of a building compared to size of the block. Zod and clark's tiny hits won't even be visible compared to something like this:

No Caption Provided

(see? a shockwave barely few floors wide isn't even going to be visible here. literally.)

Neo and Smith punches was cracking windows........"HUGE DIFFERENCE"....and to make it even worse.....Neo and Smith was fighting INSIDE a building which is PROOF that they don't have the striking power of superman. Clark and Zod couldn't possibly fight in a building without tearing it down with their striking power.

...How does that make it worse? Faora was owning the daylights out of clark, and they were fighting inside a building, too. Just that clark's reflexes are way too slow to realize that he's being thrown and reaction speed is far too low to actually stop. If clark actually had control over his speed, there is no reason for him to go flying back with every hit.

And the only thing Clark needs to do is ram him with his flight speed and grab him.....after that, its game over for Neo. A few punches or simply just heat vision end this fight.

Not really. Neo is more than fast enough to simply side-step clark's extremely linear attacks, and ironically, snap his neck in the same moment. Clark has zero feats saying he could land a single hit, and neo isn't going down easy even if he does.

@rpottage:

I actually gave you a specific example and you cleverly ignored it and made sure it wasn't in the reply. Allow me to restate the very specific example in even clearer terms. A rocket goes massively faster than supersonic; if the image shown with Neo were how it worked then when a rocket goes into space, or even the upper atmosphere, it would pull satellites and other objects with it in the exact same manner. With over 19,000 objects orbiting earth, and with limited launch sites due to the physics and capabilities involved; each trip to the ISS would destroy hundreds of satellites and completely throw off the trajectory of many others to constantly cause collisions. The idea that when you go supersonic you create a whirlwind that constantly pulls objects behind you non-stop is absurd.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWGLAAYdbbc

But there's also that where you see planes go supersonic near other objects, including relatively close to people and stationary planes. And the video actually points out that the clouds you see travelling with the planes, don't travel with it. They're constantly created.

Actually, if you paid slightest of attention to the comments, I didn't ignore anything. The clear enough answer is "distance".

Did you see how close range both clark and neo were flying to ground in their respective movies?

No Caption Provided
No Caption Provided

The plane is moving wayyy too far away from anything to make a difference. Even more so, the rocket.

Try standing close to a approaching train. (no. don't do it literally). Imagine the effect when a massively hypersonic object is flying by.

If you're big enough and going fast enough and close enough you can create a wave that knocks something over; but you don't create a whirlwhind that pulls things with you across town; and a human isn't big enough to even knock a car over doing that at supersonic speeds. So the claim that he is so fast he pulls cars with him is absurd and doesn't demonstrate speed, it demonstrates an lack of knowledge of physics. And that was the point.

And immensely strong wind can cause big objects to fly through the air. A human may not be big enough, but with enough speed, he can easily replicate the effect.

No, it's not. He doesn't have the travel speed; and he can be blitzed.

Travel speed is debatable, because neo only traveled short distances. Combat speed isn't even remotely close. With reflexes like neo's, he has all the time in the world to side-step the flat straight line blitz. It's neo who's doing the blitzing here. Clark's reflexes are way too slow to keep up.

He may have faster punches; but Superman can get to him first with that first hit.

1. He isn't landing any to begin with.

2. Not 'may'. He does have far faster punches.

3. And neo is more than enough durable to take a few hits and keep going.

And Neo doesn't have nearly enough strength or durability to handle Superman. He can't take him down.

Why not? His punches are far faster than zod's, faora's, or nam-ek's. He has more than enough output required to at least KO clark.

It's like putting quicksilver up against Aquaman, the speed just isn't going to be enough.

Except here quicksilver has enough combat speed to never get tagged, so much of skill advantage that the combat speed one may not be needed, More than Durable enough to take several hits if required, and punches outclassing what clearly hurt, even nearly Ko'd aquaman.

Add in all the conditions, and the example is correct: aquaman can't ever win.

Especially since Superman will use heat vision if it comes down to it.

And? Aim-dodging ftw. Heat vision is a simple straight line attack. Useless against someone with a higher combat speed.

Do me a favour; actually read what I said and watch the link. I explained exactly why it's wrong, and it has not to do with Clark. Had you watched the video you would have seen one of the planes flying as close to civilians as Neo was to the ground. And if you knew anything about satellites and rockets you'd know Rockets travel insanely close to satellites because they have no choice.

No, he can't. Watch the video and listen to how it works, or re-read my comments where I explain it.

No,that doesn't make it debatable. You can't say something debatable because Neo didn't have the chance to show off; if the fastest he travelled is far slower than clark's fastest, then that's a factor.

1) Yes, he is. Combat speed is useless when someone is fast enough for an initial blitz; and being able to dodge a bullet isn't helpful again a guy who will tackle you at superspeed.
2) Most of his punches weren't that fast, and they're slower than Clark's initial attacks when he flies out of nowhere at someone.
3) I'm calling complete bullshit on this one. Go re-watch the final fight between Neo and Smith. The FIRST real hit completely staggered Neo. He was in the air and when he got hit he couldn't recover. Smith then smashed him into the ground and Neo lay there. Minutes later he struggled to move and got up. And when Smith attacked him he couldn't fight back getting only one punch in before being beat down again.
Neo is a glass cannon; but his strength isn't even up to MoS.

No, he doesn't. His punches aren't as fast as their speed fueled attacks and his hits aren't nearly as strong. And if he tried to stand there and punch Clark that leaves him wide open to a counter; and Clark has shown he's willing to take a punch while he's punching someone else.

No, none of the qualifiers are actually right. You haven't demonstrated any of that. You've simply claimed it and tried your best to ignore everything that makes your view seem wrong.

So it's your assertion now that Neo can dodging a moving heat vision attack even though he has no experience dodging beam attacks, no experience dodging attacks from such close range, and his method of dodging leaves his lower half exactly where it is and completely vulnerable with no indication of any ability to recover if someone sweeps down with an attack during his dodge? Cause that seems like fanboy bs and is unsubstantiated.

@rpottage: Wow. you don't have to quote the entire post mate, it makes the page harder to browse for people using a cell.

Do me a favour; actually read what I said and watch the link. I explained exactly why it's wrong, and it has not to do with Clark. Had you watched the video you would have seen one of the planes flying as close to civilians as Neo was to the ground. And if you knew anything about satellites and rockets you'd know Rockets travel insanely close to satellites because they have no choice.

I did actually. and the video explains a specific phenomenon, nothing to do with the point you're trying to make. Flight effects aren't a single isolated phenomenon like the one explained there. It's not the only force in action there. What you're doing is taking a table-book system and just using normal reaction to try and explain it.

Planes flying as close to civilians...? did you even watch the video you posted yourself?

No, he can't. Watch the video and listen to how it works, or re-read my comments where I explain it.

Your comments explain nothing related to the topic. Anyway, unless you're going to tell me the cars started flying on their own, I don't see literally any point in your discussion.

No,that doesn't make it debatable. You can't say something debatable because Neo didn't have the chance to show off; if the fastest he travelled is far slower than clark's fastest, then that's a factor.

No, what makes it debatable is what he shows in close range outclasses clark's close range. Clark is just more quantifiable.

1) Yes, he is. Combat speed is useless when someone is fast enough for an initial blitz; and being able to dodge a bullet isn't helpful again a guy who will tackle you at superspeed.

Not really. Higher combat speed = easy side step for blitz, replacing 'blitz' with a 'blind rush leading to a swift counterattack'.

2) Most of his punches weren't that fast, and they're slower than Clark's initial attacks when he flies out of nowhere at someone.

Not at all. There is nothing saying clark could speedblitz a regular agent in the first place. Only people who he has fought against are those who have miserable combat speed. With exception of faora, and she was lolstomping him. Not that she shows anything extraordinary either.

3) I'm calling complete bullshit on this one. Go re-watch the final fight between Neo and Smith. The FIRST real hit completely staggered Neo. He was in the air and when he got hit he couldn't recover. Smith then smashed him into the ground and Neo lay there. Minutes later he struggled to move and got up. And when Smith attacked him he couldn't fight back getting only one punch in before being beat down again.

... He was perfectly fine after first real hit. What staggered him was the large one, and he got up right after smith rammed him on the ground.

Neo is a glass cannon; but his strength isn't even up to MoS.

He's about as much a glass canon as clark, considering he can exchange far faster hits and still keep going.

No, he doesn't. His punches aren't as fast as their speed fueled attacks and his hits aren't nearly as strong. And if he tried to stand there and punch Clark that leaves him wide open to a counter; and Clark has shown he's willing to take a punch while he's punching someone else.

Of course they aren't equal to clark's. They're faster.

It doesn't matter if he leaves himself open really. Clark's combat speed is too low to make any difference.

No, none of the qualifiers are actually right. You haven't demonstrated any of that. You've simply claimed it and tried your best to ignore everything that makes your view seem wrong.

They are actually. Clark has zero feats saying he could actually land a punch, on which most of your arguments are based. Neo has taken hits that caused block-wide shockwaves, fall far more destructive than clark's, exchanged hits far faster than what dazed clark, and still kept on fighting. Add in the skill gap, it's pure slaughter.

So it's your assertion now that Neo can dodging a moving heat vision attack even though he has no experience dodging beam attacks, no experience dodging attacks from such close range, and his method of dodging leaves his lower half exactly where it is and completely vulnerable with no indication of any ability to recover if someone sweeps down with an attack during his dodge? Cause that seems like fanboy bs and is unsubstantiated.

A beam attacks is as straight line as a bullet. No particular reason he won't be able to dodge it.

Those weren't even desperate situations. His desperate situation move is to use his speed to crash people into things, and to snap someone neck.

They were desperate situations. He HAD to use it to destroy the ship, he HAD to use it to get Faora and Nam-Ek off of him, and he HAD to use it to melt the beam because he had no time to evade it and was caught off-guard. He doesn't use it offensively, it's not his go-to move.

Being hit by multiple powerful things and still going is tanking; and only needing a minute to recover means he was merely dazed for a second; and then he kept going. Neo meanwhile was still scared of normal bullets.

More of a reason for why it's completely possible for Neo to knock him out. Superman is not invincible.

It's not impossible because Clark has better blitzing speed (with is based off travel speed in this case, not punching speed); and he doesn't have too drag him. Superman is the only one with a ranged attack; and he feeds on solar energy. He can just fly there, become more powerful by being better exposed to the solar energy, and use his heat vision to try and snipe at Neo when he least expects it. Neo's pretty much forced to try and figure something out. And since it's peaceful he'd be willing to do it, and if Neo tries to force a fight by threatening others he opens himself up for a massive blitz.

Clark has better blitzing speed? That's debatable, but Clark's straight-lined blitzing speed will be useless in here when he's facing an opponent he can never dream of tagging ever. That combat speed/skill gap is too much.

Also Superman blitzing Neo won't end the fight. Superman's ranged attacks are useless, Neo can side-step them, or even counter it. Neo still wins.

No. He could have just grabbed Faora and threw here. He could have destroyed the ship the old fashioned way (punching its engine or ripping out command consoles, that original stuff). As for the beam, that was the least desperate. He could have ducked or jumped back. He did it because it gets rid of the beam permanently. It's obviously not a move he's unwilling to use. And if I agreed with your idea that Neo would be able to pummel him without him being able to hit back (for the record, I completely disagree); then he would be willing to use heat vision which was faster than anything Neo dodged and far more powerful and which he can use as a continuous beam attack to sweep down.

No one said he was invincible; he's simply far more durable than anything Neo ever faced.

It's not. Neo never really blitzed anyone; and Clark's flight speed was demonstrated to be far greater.

The fact that Neo has some better combat speed doesn't mean he can't be blitzed before combat begins. And I don't buy this idea that Superman can never dream of tagging him. Based on your idea of their gap he should still tag Neo when he takes a hit and instead of dodging strikes out at Neo. Neo never demonstrated being fast enough to hit and dodge at the same time. And I don't buy that the gap is that big to begin with.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ets2KtNYiis

1:17 was faster than anything Neo did, 1:19 is faster than any punches Neo's dodged,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tb8u3Aunsyw

1:13 is at least comparable if not faster.

They generally didn't fight at superspeed but they demonstrated the ability to; so I reject the notion that Superman is completely outclassed in combat speed.

Superman blitzing would end the fight because Neo has a glass jaw. And how is he supposed to "counter" heat vision?

No, it's not. He doesn't have the travel speed; and he can be blitzed. He may have faster punches; but Superman can get to him first with that first hit. And Neo doesn't have nearly enough strength or durability to handle Superman. He can't take him down. It's like putting quicksilver up against Aquaman, the speed just isn't going to be enough. Especially since Superman will use heat vision if it comes down to it.

Now swap Quicksilver with Flash, and suddenly speed is more than enough.

@princearagorn1:

I'll reply if it makes it easier for you.

There is no phenomenon with planes that makes them do that.

Yes, did you? One of the planes flew as close to civilians as Neo did to the ground. Neo wasn't on the ground, he was fairly high up, and the plane that flew between two Naval vessels was about the same distance.

The point is a simple one; that you can't use that scene to claim Neo is faster than MoS because the cars flying behind him isn't actual phenomenon that would occur. It's a misunderstanding of physics thrown in because it looks cool and in the Matrix Neo can ignore some aspects of physics; but it's not an actual gauge of speed.

You can't take his combat speed to say he's somehow faster than MoS in flight speed. And it's arguable how much he outclasses Clark. I'm not all that sure he actually outclasses him so much as actually uses his speed. When the Kryptonians actually use their speed in attacks they're pretty dame fast, always fast enough to create shockwaves; but they rarely go that speed.

No, he's not. A hit being arguable faster doesn't mean it's stronger. He took weaker hits, the first real hit he took in the final battle took him down.

That large hit was the first real hit, which was what I said. And Neo didn't get back up. I watched it last night. He struggled to move before struggling to get up and struggling to stay up.

No, he's not. There's no evidence that Neo is faster than Clark's blitzes; and there's no evidence that Clark can't hit him when he uses his speed. I reject the notion that their speed fueled hits are somehow too slow.

Actually Clark has multiple feats for that, some already posted. The fight with Faora for instance he used speed fueled hits, as did he against Zod. And he blitzed Faora and flew around the world in minutes to destroy a machine. No Neo hasn't. Again, the first real attack from Smith at the end pretty much ended him. Neo never hit far faster than Faora's blitz.

There are multiple reasons why he wouldn't be able to. Neo dodges by moving his upper body out of the way and back. He can't move back during a beam attack and there's no evidence he can dodge a lower body attack occurring at the same time when the heat vision sweeps downwards. Nor has he dodged anything as fast as the heat vision.

So you're asserting Neo can steel speed and hit with the power of a white dwarf star? I don't remember that from the movies, care to cite that?

@rpottage:

1. It's a simple extrapolation of an extremely fast object moving by other causing it to leave positions. Nothing complicated about it.

2. I never claimed neo's combat speed translates to his flight speed. What I said was, neo's travel speed looks faster, but clark's is much better quantified. What I am saying however, is neo's combat speed/reflexes completely outclass man of steel.

3. As for how much he outclasses clark, the answer is: far more than enough to settle the match. Clark, faora, zod.. none of them did anything saying they could actually keep up with a standard agent. Much less neo.

That large hit was the first real hit, which was what I said. And Neo didn't get back up. I watched it last night. He struggled to move before struggling to get up and struggling to stay up.

...and the rest were imaginary. lol. Let me use the same argument. Everything clark ever did wasn't real. No strength feats, no durability feats, no speed feats. Neo wins hands down.

No, he's not. A hit being arguable faster doesn't mean it's stronger.

Are you sure you mean to say that? If you're claiming to understand the details of flight mechanisms and stuff, I don't think such a basic physics mistake is even possible. I'll reply to the rest of the comment depending on your answer.

So you're asserting Neo can steel speed and hit with the power of a white dwarf star? I don't remember that from the movies, care to cite that?

Dude. you just asserted that clark was aquaman and neo was quicksilver. Were you saying clark can call up sea creatures as he wants?(care to cite that, pretty sure that wasn't in the movies? of course not. He's simply extending your example. Common sense.

I didn't say it's complicated, I said it's false. I get the intention; but that doesn't happen. When rockets go to the ISS they don't rip satellites out of their orbit doing so. When F-18 go supersonic their dropped tanks don't fly behind them. Planes are ripped behind the missiles they fire. The idea that Neo flew so fast cars on the ground flew up and followed him is just not something that happens.

I'm not sure his travel speed ever looked faster.

I disagree; their speed punches and blitzes did not look any slower than the agents.

You lack a rational response so you try and belittle my argument? Nice. Really classy. I never said they were imaginary by the way. I was point out that the hits before that one were pathetic in comparison so it doesn't speak well for his durability.

Actually I was giving an example of the comparison of power. The problem with using the flash is that a) it's an idiotic comparison that only fanboys would bother using, and b) the reason the flash beats superman has never been about just the speed but rather the abilities the speedforce grants. But then you'd have to care about not being disingenuous to care about that.

1. Rockets don't really have a dense atmosphere to affect space stations. When an F-18 detaches tanks, the tanks are moving at the same speed as it is. It accelerates further. 0_0

Either way. Neo is fast enough to move several (dozen) cars by flying past them. Clark fails to budge a giraffe. There is no way past it.

2. I disagree; their speed punches and blitzes did not look any slower than the agents.

Sure they did. Much, much slower:

Rational responses are required for rational points only. What pathetic hits? They can take faster hits than clark's, and still not get knocked back a single foot. Heck, pre-one neo was fighting too fast for computers to follow.

4. Actually I was giving an example of the comparison of power.

Yes, and comparing superman to aquaman is so much more sensible than that. Oh wait.

Flash's debate usually boils down to two points: clark can never tag flash, while flash barrages him with imps till he is nothing but a bloody mess. no need for any extra ability.

The reason he used flash was because quicksilver-aquaman gap wasn't explaining it properly.

Low Earth Orbit has more than enough atmosphere.

As it accelerates it would pull the tanks with it, it doesn't. Nor does it pull bombs, and missiles don't pull it.

No, not either way. It's a completely misunderstanding of physics; and not a feat. What don't you get about that?

I disagree.

Nice try, but you haven't addressed rational points with any rational responses.
Speed=/= strength. A piece of paper being throw from a car at 100 km/h is still not as powerful as being hit by a car moving 50 km/h. The hits, while perhaps fast, were pathetically weak.

Yes, it is; because I was comparing the difference in speed only.

No it doesn't; it boils down to more than that. And claiming that the difference is comparable is disingenuous. If you're going to sit there and claim Neo is over hundreds of thousands times faster (which is what happens in Flash vs Superman debates) then you're just pure trolling and not worth talking to. You already can't understand physics and have shown yourself to be a fanboy.

@rpottage:

1. More than enough? not really.

The simple point is. Neo is fast enough to move cars by flying past them. Clark isn't.

2. Disagreeing is fine.

3. Actually, a piece of paper is twice as powerful. -if- it has the same weight as the car. Superman doesn't have super-weight, nor was it ever implied in the movie.

4. Yes, calling feats 'not real' is a rational point. Newsflash: It isn't.

5. Considering neo fights far faster than clark, calling his hits pathetically weak makes clark look weaker by definition.

6. Really? so you quantified neo's combat speed, superman's combat speed, their durabilities, outputs, measured them all, and compared that to quicksilver and aquaman, and then gave the example? Doesn't look like it. If you did, do provide details. It'd be fun to read. You gave an example, he simply modified to fit better. No quantifications. Common sense. Use it.

You already can't understand physics and have shown yourself to be a fanboy.

Yes, you demonstrated your extra-ordinary grip on.. fifth grade physics, at least:

A hit being arguable faster doesn't mean it's stronger.

Do write a paper on that. People will be delighted to know how newton was wrong.

Anyway, Name-calling is clear enough a sign that you have no argument remaining or any credibility left to loose. No point in going any further, Have a nice day.

To sum it up, neo slaughters clark, at least till he gets his second movie.

It really does.
That's not a simple point. That's like saying the simple point is Clark is fast enough to shoot heat vision and Neo isn't. Speed doesn't have anything to do with it and we know that based on the physics involved. I deal with planes for part of my job, and that's kind of basic stuff. If the drag pulled things like that then there'd be serious problems with air travel.

It doesn't have the same weight, that's exactly the point. Speed alone isn't enough. Neo is far weaker than Superman so claiming he hits harder because he might move a little faster just doesn't work.

Pointing out that attacks are far weaker and thus not on nearly the same level is a very rational point. Not sure why you don't understand that point.

First off he doesn't fight far faster, and secondly faster doesn't mean stronger. Dear lord what don't you get about that? 100 tons moving 100 mph is going to be far harder hit than .1 tons moving 150 mph. You keep relying on the speed as if it's the only thing in the universe that could ever matter; even though it's not and I don't agree that Neo is far faster.

So your common sense says that Neo is over a million times faster than Superman? Pure and utter bullshit. You're a liar if you try and say it's a better comparison and you know it.

That cute; but the problem with insulting me on physics is you still don't understand it, so if it's simple physics then you make yourself look even worse.

No, they wouldn't. The average person knows enough that force also relies on mass; you're one of the few people out there who apparently doesn't understand that.
Also you might not want to use that name-calling thing since, you know, you relied on that to ignore the point that the hits Neo took at first in the final fight were far weaker and not comparable to the later hit. It just makes you look even worse.

Simple enough. the only alternate explaination you can provide is.. a) the cars were flying on their own. b) neo has a new and completely unexplained power to cause several dozens of cars to fly unconsciously.

Unless you can post proof that superman far more than neo, the point is useless. Give me one single statement or anything from the movie that implies superman weighs more than a human his size. Completely and utterly made up nonsense.

I don't ignore points that have any sense in them. Neo fights faster, he isn't lighter than any average person, ergo he hits harder. Game over.

Actually no; I gave you the explanation earlier, it's because the Matrix doesn't use normal laws of physics.

You want proof that paper doesn't weight the same as a car?

He doesn't need to weigh more. He's stronger, and that I can demonstrate with things like holding up an oil rig. He has more force, which means he hits harder.

No, my example says that simply being a little faster doesn't mean you win. Hence it's like pitting Quicksilver against Aquaman. Quicksilver is faster but that doesn't mean Aquaman loses. And the speed isn't that great. Yes quicksilver is faster but Aquaman does have speed of his own he can use. He rarely does, but his super jump is pretty fast.

Why would I concede a point I won? You're entire argument assumed speed was the only factor; I just pointed out it's not. In fact strength is a factor as well. A 100 tonner can hit harder than a 1 tonner, it's not all about just speed.

No.
First I don't agree that he necessarily fights faster.
Secondly; that's not all that matters. Their strength, the amount of force they can exert; that matters. Superman has demonstrated far greater strength, he can exert more force.
Thirdly; Superman's heat vision is faster than Neo which would mean, based on that, his heat vision would hit harder making it game over in Superman's favor. Now while it's true that his heat vision would take Neo down, it's not simply based on speed; it's also because it's powerful in its own right.

Speed is important; but you cannot rely solely on speed. There are always other factors.

And all that is just about how hard they can hit; Neo is physically weaker, including with durability. And there's nothing in the Matrix that says he can hit as hard as the World Engine or the other durability feats Superman has.

...It does. Just that the rules can be bent. And you're saying neo unconsciously bent reality to throw off dozens of cars, or what?

You want proof that paper doesn't weight the same as a car?

It's paper from your example. You need to provide a mass for it, too. A paper with enough quantity can be much heavier than a car...

He doesn't need to weigh more. He's stronger, and that I can demonstrate with things like holding up an oil rig. He has more force, which means he hits harder.

So you concede He doesn't weigh more, and he punches slower. Meaning, neo hits harder. Game over.

Rest of the points are practically meaningless here. Neo outclasses clark in combat speed, skills, now by your own admission striking strength, implying higher durability.. Fight ends here. Literally.

Putting the now unnecessary stuff in spoiler block.

No.

First I don't agree that he necessarily fights faster.

Secondly; that's not all that matters. Their strength, the amount of force they can exert; that matters. Superman has demonstrated far greater strength, he can exert more force.

Thirdly; Superman's heat vision is faster than Neo which would mean, based on that, his heat vision would hit harder making it game over in Superman's favor.

Compare Neo and Smith flight fight to Sups and Zod?

What point were you trying to make with this?

Compare Neo and Smith H2H fight with Sups vs Faora and Nam? I bet a Neo and Smith vs Sups would still end up with Sups standing in the end.

?? I don't get it.

You think Neo's durability is > Sups? Come on. Sups tanked a laser close range and get no damage.

Clark is a bit more durable than Neo, that's true, but it's not something Neo can't overcome.

The point is, Clark and Zod's fight is far more impressive, stronger, faster (going from Metropolis to space and back) and more destructive compare to any fights of Neo and Smith. Same goes for my 2nd statement.

Really? Why use TK then to stop bullets when Clark just tanked them, not to mention a laser blast in close range and he still gets back up in seconds.

Neo bleed from a bolo strike by a normal guy who can't even be compared to Nam or Faora, their durability cannot be compared.

@rpottage:

1. Actually no; I gave you the explanation earlier, it's because the Matrix doesn't use normal laws of physics.

...It does. Just that the rules can be bent. And you're saying neo unconsciously bent reality to throw off dozens of cars, or what?

You want proof that paper doesn't weight the same as a car?

It's paper from your example. You need to provide a mass for it, too. A paper with enough quantity can be much heavier than a car...

He doesn't need to weigh more. He's stronger, and that I can demonstrate with things like holding up an oil rig. He has more force, which means he hits harder.

No, my example says that simply being a little faster doesn't mean you win. Hence it's like pitting Quicksilver against Aquaman. Quicksilver is faster but that doesn't mean Aquaman loses. And the speed isn't that great. Yes quicksilver is faster but Aquaman does have speed of his own he can use. He rarely does, but his super jump is pretty fast.

Why would I concede a point I won? You're entire argument assumed speed was the only factor; I just pointed out it's not. In fact strength is a factor as well. A 100 tonner can hit harder than a 1 tonner, it's not all about just speed.

So you concede He doesn't weigh more, and he punches slower. Meaning, neo hits harder. Game over.

Rest of the points are practically meaningless here. Neo outclasses clark in combat speed, skills, now by your own admission striking strength, implying higher durability.. Fight ends here. Literally.

Putting the now unnecessary stuff in spoiler block.

No.

First I don't agree that he necessarily fights faster.

Secondly; that's not all that matters. Their strength, the amount of force they can exert; that matters. Superman has demonstrated far greater strength, he can exert more force.

Thirdly; Superman's heat vision is faster than Neo which would mean, based on that, his heat vision would hit harder making it game over in Superman's favor. Now while it's true that his heat vision would take Neo down, it's not simply based on speed; it's also because it's powerful in its own right.

Speed is important; but you cannot rely solely on speed. There are always other factors.

And all that is just about how hard they can hit; Neo is physically weaker, including with durability. And there's nothing in the Matrix that says he can hit as hard as the World Engine or the other durability feats Superman has.

I'm saying what was going on doesn't mean anything realistically speed wise because physics doesn't work like that. So what happened, while cool visually, was the result of him being able to bend reality and physics and not the result of him simply moving fast. So you can't actually use it as a benchmark for speed.

Yeah, it was my example... You want me to make up a random mass of the paper in my example? Okay... A 5 pound paper thrown at 100 km/h will do less damage than a 2 ton car going 50 km/h.
I don't know why you wanted specific numbers on a made up example, but okay...

No. I didn't concede that Neo is faster, nor did I concede that he punches harder. And I don't concede he doesn't weigh because we don't know their specific weight. But weight being equal that doesn't mean he hits harder.

None of that was unnecessary.

Regarding that flight speed bro, try comparing it to when Clark was flying in metropolis trying to catch up to Zod, that's faster than Neo in TM Reloaded.

There's that, there's also when he flew around the world in seconds to take out the World Engine, then flew back around the world in seconds to save Lois.

So now you're claiming that neo can unconsciously bend reality enough to blast every car across his path several feet in the air? And everyone he has fought is immune to that ability somehow? Do go on.

Yeah, it was my example... You want me to make up a random mass of the paper in my example? Okay... A 5 pound paper thrown at 100 km/h will do less damage than a 2 ton car going 50 km/h.

Because now the example is utterly useless. Superman and neo have similar mass, considering you just said superman doesn't have extra weight.

To correct your example. A 1.99 ton load of paper going at 100 km/hr vs a 2 ton car going 50 km/h. Of course the former does more damage.

No. I didn't concede that Neo is faster, nor did I concede that he punches harder. And I don't concede he doesn't weigh because we don't know their specific weight. But weight being equal that doesn't mean he hits harder.

You didn't realize it, apparently.

1. You concede superman doesn't have drastically more mass. (If you don't, post proof)

2. Clark has zero feats showing combat speed even nearing neo's.

3. nearly Equal mass, much faster punch. = Neo hits a lot harder. Game over.

No, I'm claiming that the cool visual effects do not mesh with the laws of physics and thus you can't use them to gauge speed.

No, it's not useless. The entire point was that it's about more than speed. Which was proven.

That doesn't correct my example. You should really understand the point of an example before commenting on it.

1) I don't concede that. That's your assertion. I concede we don't know their mass.
2) I disagree and I posted clips of him using combat speed comparable to Neo.
3) I disagree. Nearly equal mass, slightly faster punch, far weaker force via strength =/= weak Neo.

Look, let me explain something to you. Mass and speed, while important, are not the only two factors in the universe. Take humans for example. According to you, a 200 pound man going up against a 200 pound man who both punch at the same speed should be about equal in hits. However; if man a is 5 feet and all fat while man b is 6 feet and is 98% muscle; then man b is actually going to hit harder because his muscle give him more force in the hits.
Superman has vastly superior strength with which to exert force than Neo does. Neo can't hit nearly as hard as Superman, and he can't take a hit. And I don't concede him having a massive speed advantage. Nor does he have a counter for heat vision to the face, torso, and legs.

Stronger I debatable. Travel speed is also debatable. Faster in combat? Not even in the slightest bit debatable. Neo is miles ahead of Clark and Zod in the combat speed department.

Really? Why use TK then to stop bullets when Clark just tanked them, not to mention a laser blast in close range and he still gets back up in seconds.

This point is irrelevant, Clark is not a bullet, nor does he have a gun.

Funny how Clark and Zod fell from space through a roof and didnt even create a crater, while Neo/ Smith fell from building level and wrecked the entire block, creating a crater so deep they could fight in it.

Who had more destructive power?

"cool visual effects"?

The cars were actually flying.

No, it's not useless. The entire point was that it's about more than speed. Which was proven.

Yes. It's about weight, and speed. Unless you have proof that superman is far heavier than neo, neo strikes harder.

That doesn't correct my example. You should really understand the point of an example before commenting on it.

Hmm. What it does is make an utterly useless example more relevant to the situation.

(Mass of piece of paper =/= the mass from other car, making the example useless in the current situation. there is no proof that clark is much heavier than neo)

1) I don't concede that. That's your assertion. I concede we don't know their mass.

Good.

2) I disagree and I posted clips of him using combat speed comparable to Neo.

Comparable? That's not even faster than a regular agent. Much less neo, and much less revolutions neo.

3) I disagree. Nearly equal mass, slightly faster punch, far weaker force via strength =/= weak Neo.

Nearly equal mass, far faster punch = neo.

If you call him weak, clark is even weaker lol. Doesn't help your argument at all.

Look, let me explain something to you. Mass and speed, while important, are not the only two factors in the universe. Take humans for example. According to you, a 200 pound man going up against a 200 pound man who both punch at the same speed should be about equal in hits. However; if man a is 5 feet and all fat while man b is 6 feet and is 98% muscle; then man b is actually going to hit harder because his muscle give him more force in the hits.

Fifth grade physics. Learn it.

Fat man doesn't hit as fast as muscled one. Fail. And if they both have same mass and hit with equal speed, their hits have equal force. So you're actually proving my point. Whether it's intentional or not, idk.

Mass and acceleration are the only two factors pertaining to physical force, that's very definition of force:

force

I could give fifty sources saying the same thing if you want.

Unless you're somehow adding a third term to a definition that is the very base of mechanics, neo hits harder than clark can ever hope to.

Superman has vastly superior strength with which to exert force than Neo does. Neo can't hit nearly as hard as Superman, and he can't take a hit. And I don't concede him having a massive speed advantage. Nor does he have a counter for heat vision to the face, torso, and legs.

Heck no. clark's about as heavy, and hits far slower. Meaning lesser striking strength. Meaning Neo-smith hit harder, making them more durable.

'oh I don't concede' is not even an argument. Clark never showed combat speed clearly above an agent, much less neo.

Neo has Harder hits, more durability, far more combat speed, overwhelming skill advantage. He takes it till clark gets more feats.

@rpottage: I'll make this really, really simple for you:

force = Mass x acceleration

Mass of Superman's hand = mass of Neo's hand (at these levels an ounce or two won't make a difference). Neo's hand moves far faster.

Thusly, Neo hits harder. What superman's punches have is follow-through because he's stronger, which is meaningless against a guy with the skill to roll out of your punches.

Also, like it or not, Neo flew so fast he dragged cars. Your opinion on how legit it looks is worth literally nothing. The fact is that he did it by going so fast, and it contradicts none of his other feats. Denying that is like denying that Reeves Superman can't fly so fast that time reverses. He can, iv seen it, so your opinion of it matters not. Neo wasn't TK dragging cars as he rushed to save Trinity, he was simply going so fast that his mass became high enough to drag them. Like Flash using IMP, in concept (increasing mass via speed).

Also, Prince is easilly one of the higher regarded posters here....on principal you should double check your own logic before jumping to the conclusion he's just a generic fanboy (with 14,000 posts...) cuz he's not wrong often....like how he's completely right about this lol

Think of it this way, if a big guy hits me, I'll go flying, I'm a light guy. If a big guy hits Bruce Lee, who weighed the same as I, he'd fly nowhere near as far as myself by simply shifting his weight properly. Its like that, but in this case Bruce Lee has downloaded every form of martial arts on record directly into his head, increasing that ability dramatically. This is why Neo doesn't always go flying after getting hit by matrix-lagging punches

If you know who Karate Kid is, he's a good example to think about for comparison. He is a human who contends with kryptonians via raw skill. And neo is more than a regular human with just as much skill if not more

Neo was more impressive than I originally thought after rewatching his battles with Smith. He ends up with bloody lips more often (to be fair, he recovers from that almost all the time), but his raw skill in combat is unquestionably greater.

If guy A takes a hit unguarded and faster than he can react, then all the force travels in the direction of the punch and thusly guy A goes flying.

Guy B isn't stupid, though. He takes the same blow but redirects it away from him with his left hand, taking any excess energy mostly in his right leg and then into the ground....he does not go flying.

Superman is Guy A. Neo is Guy B. Same blow, but one guy can't stop himself from flying through buildings like a n00b n the other now has time to counter.

  • Oh my God. Can you not compare damage between their fights and how fast they were going when Zod learns to fly or even before that? Re-watch those parts and then do comparison with TM Revolutions Neo vs Smith scenes.

  • It's your statement that is pointless, I'm giving points which you have no counter for.

  • Jesus, do you really watched The Matrix Trilogy?

Travel speed is not combat speed. Superman's linear attack won't mean anything against a character who sees bullets move in slow-motion. Neo could simply sidestep to evade Clarks' bulrush attempts.

It's your statement that is pointless, I'm giving points which you have no counter for.

It is irrelevant. Neo's durability against piercing attacks does not matter here because Clark is not a bullet, nor does he own a gun. It's his blunt force durability which matters here. And their blunt force durability are not that far off each other.

Jesus, do you really watched The Matrix Trilogy?

I can't even count how many times I've seen the movies at this stage. I want you to post t he instance you're talking about, so I can put it into its right context.
