So, as of now, everyone in Reloaded is rated High 8-C+ based off of the KE of Neo. There is a problem with this however.
Kinetic Energy Feats states, you cannot use KE if....
| The calculated kinetic energy value is heavily inconsistent with the rest of the cast in the series. EX: Quicksilver's calculated speed cannot be used to derive kinetic energy as it heavily contradicts his established power levels. |
Trinity
The Matrix Reloaded (6 6) Movie CLIP - Beat the Bullet (2003) HD
In this scene, we see Neo going at his absolute top speed to save trinity (Which is kinda calc stacking as this isn't the scene where his High Hypersonic+ feat comes from, but, eh, benefit of doubt)....
From getting shot in the gut by a bullet and proceeding to slam into a car on the street.
Now, there's an obvious dissonance in this scene. Trinity is clearly shown to be threatened by things much less powerful then a man going at Mach 88, and Neo knows for a fact if he doesn't go fast enough, trinity is going to die. This was built up from the beginning of the movie, and it's the whole impact. If she really was able to tank the KE of Neo ramming into her, this whole scene would dissolve completely. And, Neo isn't even attacking her in this sense, he's just grabbing her out of the air. That isn't an attack, so it shouldn't be treated as an AP feat, unless explicitly stated to be, which, it really isn't.
Keymaker and Morphius
The Matrix Reloaded (5 6) Movie CLIP - Truck Stop (2003) HD
In this scene, Morphius and Keymaker are pulled out just in the nick of time...
Out of the explosion of a truck. Which Neo considered threatening enough to increase his speed by like 30 times.
Again, we see these feats contradicted in the very scene they're in. But, there's an even bigger problem.
If Keymaker really was strong enough to tank this High 8-C+ KE, then, surely, literally anyone actually able to fight would scale up. Which means everyone in the first movie would logically scale, as Agents should be far superior to Keymaker.
You can see the problems with a complete fodder having a feat well beyond everything save the High 6-C+ God tiers.
Other stuff
Well, on the other hand, neo does do some clearly not 9-B stuff while he flies, such as creating a mini tornado as he soars to the ground, and shattering every nearby window as he flew to save trinity. However, needless to say, he never actually uses this in his fighting style, so it would just be Environmental Destruction anyways. It could be calced, yeah, but, not something I personally find worth it.
Also, is there any indication that anyone (besides Neo of course) actually got stronger? Trinity and Morpheus already were masters in Matrix combat for years before they pulled Neo out, so them getting thousands of times stronger within the span of months doesn't exactly make sense at all.
Conclusion
To summarize my point....
- These feats don't really qualify for KE standards as Neo isn't making an attack on the people involved
- If they were valid, they're contradicted in the very scene they're in, and they're gigantic outliers that should absolutely be tossed regardless
Edit: Okay, now the speed feat itself is kinda invalid, since it's based on Neo outpacing the truck explosion, which... Isn't an Explosion, just combustion. He still has his Supersonic+ feat, which gets 9-A KE. I still insist that there's no real point to calcing his strength via flight.
