whatever he learns in the matrix he learns in Real Life, because the mind is the same in both places. Yes, I would tend to agree with this.

This is saying without weapons
Preston vs. Neo (real world, 'cause that's all that matters) - Neo would be down in a matter of seconds because his "skills" are pumped into his head and therefore he knows the stuff, but his body isn't conditioned for the fighting. (this coming from a Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do.)
Preston vs. Yulaw (without inhuman powers) - it would be a really good fight that would possibly go on for some time but in time I think that Yulaw would probably win because he has a broader range of styles to choose from
these are the only ones that I was really concerned with, so there ya go.

Definately Preston; he was trained as a Cleric since childhood, he has real combat experiences, and besides, Bale has muscles! Scrawny Keanu doesn't stand a chance!
OK, just kidding there about the muscle part because the best bodybuilder isn't the best fighter, but it's true that their actual-body combat experiences are incomparable. One of the flaws about the Matrix is that just because you download Kung Fu into your brain, it doesn't mean your body can adapt to it instantly. (Well they do have training modes...) To quote a prof I know, "Your body learns how to ride a bicycle, not your brain" which means reading a book about Tae Kwon Do isn't going to make you the best fighter. Even if you train at a dojo, you need to actually fight so that your body and brain will be trained in quick reflexes and such. This is why Neo won't be able to beat Preston. Even inside the Matrix, he might be able to stop the bullets, but probably can't win Preston in hand-to-hand or sword battles.

It's hard to decide, 'cause EQ and Matrix are two completely different stories... But, if I had to choose, no doubt about it: [glow=red,2,100]Preston[/glow] ;D

With so many gun-toting, ass-kicking, shootdodging, super bad-asses in the cinema world, there are so many adversaries to face Preston. I thought up a list of the best of the best. Input people, who would win at each?
Tequila-Hard Boiled in the Hard Boiled realm Jeffery Chow-The Killer in The Killer realm Castor Troy-Face/Off in EQ Realm John Lee-Replacement Killers in EQ Realm Frank Martin-Transporter in Transporter Realm Snake Plissken-Escape From L.A. & N.Y. in his realms Connor&Murphy McMannus-Boondock Saints in EQ Realm Ash-Evil Dead films in EQ realm John McClain-Die Hard films in Die Hard realm Gabriel-Swordfish in Swordfish realm
That's my list for good gun fighters, now deliberate, and don't just say Preston for being EQ fans. Take in the facts of the films, characters, their luck, and how well they fight. Who do you think will win?

Neo says- What program are you? Preston says- I was a Cleric ones... Neo says - You are a agent! Preston says - I said I was!, not anymore, now I am feeling! Neo says- Who was your boss? Preston says - I used to know him as Father. Neo says- You mean the architect. Preston says - yeah, something like that. Neo says - I knew it! But now you are saying it is over right? Preston says - Right, right... Neo says - still, you look familiar... sound familiar... Preston says - Call it faith! you have it right? Neo says - yeah... Preston says - then let's grab a "nether "beer and get loaded...

ergo!! vis-a-vis!!! concordantly!!!
god... that architect ::tssk tsk tsk::
-preston vs neo? hmmm... the idea that neo retains all of his fighting knowledge probably rings true, but could he really use it? a lot of it is probably physical muscle memory. plus he would get tired really fast since all he ever does is sit plugged into a chair. the sissy boy...

Neo: I am the One, with the awesome power to shape the world to my whim Preston: So what? I killed twenty people because they upset my puppy Neo: I have powers beyond anything your mind can comprehend Preston: I can pistol-whip six guys to death simultaneously Neo: I can stop bullets with my *thoughts alone* Preston: I understand the Architect Neo: *faints* Deimos

Hey, anyone thinking of Fong Sai Yuk or Li 's character in Hitman? I think both of them would be able to wipe the floor with Neo outside the matrix - and sad enough - with Preston

Give a man a gun: He's Superman
Give him two, he's God...
I think to be honest, if you look at the supposed training of a Grammaton Cleric compared to today's Modern Martial Artists - they'd be dead...reason...?
As Max Corellaine would say from Whisper City.
"Kung Fu don't do Jack Shit against a undred rounds a ot lead..."
As for the whole Preston Neo thing, I don't really care, it's not important to me...it's like the old addage, My Dad Can Beat Up Yours - IMHO Pointless and only leads to someone getting upset as their favourite character is usually dissed.
Of course that's just my POV - I suppose you could say that I'm a bit numb to it, rather like the *whispers*
Gun Swap :>

Have any of the people who talk as though Neo has no powers in The Real World even seen Revolutions??? The guys explodes wave after wave of sentinels with his sodding HAND! Of course, I'd better not spoil it by telling you WHY Preston would win...

Since many of the comments on this thread were made before Revolutions was even released the answer at least for those posts would be no.

Heres the fight all laid out...first Neo would hit Preston with one of his queer ass kicks...Then Preston will pistol whip the little bastard and shoot his ass into oblivion...any questions...?

this is my take.. due to the matrix and its poor special effects Neo lag's during the battle and preston toys with him and owns him

Yeah, but personally I've mentally blocked that bit of Revolutions because it was such a letdown after all the MWAM etc theories. So cheap to explain it by saying "he can do it because he's the One". Anyway... Neo wouldn't even be able to spot Preston coming before those little brass thingies on his gun handles were slamming into his face (people who've seen Revolutions might guess why). "Who's tha-- aaargh! My face! My beautiful face!" Deimos

You only have to look at the dialogue in the two films to see who would win:
Neo would probably just stand there expecting to have some pseudo-philosophical Architect-inspired discussion about the nature of feelings.
Preston would just do that cute little you-have-no-idea-what's-going-to-happen-next smile, then Neo would be dead before he even knew he'd been shot.
