Neo pre-One was already BT, right? Morpheus close to the same level, speed-wise. All three of them had superhuman strength and agility, right? How is this not a stomp?

Morpheus wasn't that fast. Originally Posted by big_adventure

He was certainly somewhat superhuman, right? Not as fast as Neo, but fast enough to not get instantly disintegrated by an agent, and fast enough to bitch-slap Neo until he moved along the road to mastering his powers. Originally Posted by mailedbypostman1

Having been over this one, pre-One Neo isn't a bullet timer.

As far as the unarmed fight goes, I'm not sure what Hawkeye and Black Widow are supposed to add to the fight. They're good, but they're simply not on the level of the others.

Neo did dodge those bullets in that famous backward move scene. Though some of the bullets grazed his legs. Originally Posted by Sharpandpointies

Honestly, while the backwards bullet dodge scene was impressive...I kind of saw that as nothing but luck on Neo's part as while he is very capable of being a killing machine, he is still kind of iffy on trying to get the hang of the fact he can temporarily make physics his bitch for a short time, pretty much getting to understand the whole "There is no spoon" advice as I can recall though I haven't seen the film in years to admit.
Heck, I'm pretty sure even Neo wasn't sure he can pull it off as he called Trinity for help once he was defenseless."This is the energy that caused the extinction of your race! Now die again!"-Musashi Tomoe

1. Hawkeye can blow up team one unless they shoot him first. Team Matrix seems generally faster, so I'd give them the edge in a quick-draw. Since they start in separate alleys, Hawkeye should stay behind Cap so that he can get a shot off. Widow might be able to sneak up on them the way she did on Loki & Hawkeye. If she can distract them, Hawkeye's AOE arrow will put them in a world of hurt.
2. Stomp for team 1. Widow and Hawkeye are majorly outclassed, and even Cap doesn't have the skill or speed to keep up with them.

He wildly flings himself away from the first round, then falls backward, the agent tracking him and finally actually hitting him. twice. Originally Posted by Slade

Yes, but he does seem to be a very low bullet timer as he bent back after the bullets were fired.

Morpheus being able to fight that upgraded agent never made any sense to me. Originally Posted by big_adventure

I always rationalized it that Morpheus skills improved between movies 1 and 2, that's the only thing that made sense. Of course, they never explained it. Otherwise, the upgraded agent should have just destroyed him.

He was falling at that point, having thrown himself bckward with whatever enhanced speed he had. Originally Posted by Slade

Heck, Captain America, if RUNNNING (and he runs slower than his 'combat movement') can move ~1.5 feet in the time it takes a bullet to reach him from twenty feet.
You have to see and react to the bullets as well.
To me, this is more aim dodging - one might argue the first bullet, but Neo is falling backward the rest of the time with the agent adjusting his aim to compensate. And clipping him. Twice.
Again, as bullet-timing feats go, it's lousy. :(
