How Smith got so strong?

I was wonderin, how the hell did smith get so strong? he was always strong but never a match for Neo anyway, but now all of a sudden he is super man. i think he got strong by absorbing Seraph which is prolly the case since seraph was the only one neo had trouble fighting, any opinions....?

oracle

The Smith that beats Neo is an Oracle/Smith combo...

That, and it's explained that Agent Smith is a "One" of a different design; Smith negative, Neo positive.

thats dumb cuz, the oracle is some old lady how does she make smith so damn strong......

The answer is: Eat more cookies and you will find out the reason...

Well, he combined his strength w/ the Oracle's all-knowing-ness

i think that the smith's fight ability is of seraph, and the capacity of see the future is oracle's

That's a good idea too. It makes more sense

The Oracle-Smith gave Smith the power because she was a stronger program, not designed for fighting by nature - but smith was. He also had taken every body inside the Matrix, and had a collective consiousness from which he drew upon. He essentially gained the same level control of the Matrix by taking everything connected to it. Did Seraph play a part? Yes, everyone Smith took over played a part in his strength and it was not any one person.

ummm besides cloning himself onto seraph he also cloned himself onto like countless numbers of other people too...HELLOOOOO??? Could it be that they added to his strength?

Each Smith is a combination of two codes: Smith code and the host code..Nothing more...The Oracle can see the future, and is one of the oldest programs in the Matrix...She knows everything about the Matrix code...

greatest tip GABRIEL05 👆
the smith's strong is related with everybody that he was assimilated, and only not for the oracle
💃

good point. I get confused easily in this forum 😄

He ate some spinach ✅

Isn't that what I said?! *sighs and shakes head* 🙁 I feel so friggin' ignored sometimes! 😛

I can figure out HOW Smith got so strong, but I'm not clear WHY he changed in the first place. I get the concept that he is the yin to Neo's yang, and he's the -1 to Neo's +1 and all that, but that doesn't explain why the program that was working to clear out troublemakers developed a new purpose, presumably to destroy everything. Unless it's that after Neo refused to go along with the Architect and reboot the Matrix, Smith had to take on that goal?

Smith's Purpose, has been ever since he was "destroyed" by Neo in M1, has been to be the "cataclysmic system crash" the Architect told us of. Only the ONE can stop him.

I hardly understood anything the Architect said during that sequence; he was talking way too fast

No, Smith became the negative at the end of the first movie. When Neo destroyed him, Smiths core was still intact, but, due to the means that Neo used to destroy Smith, and Smith finding a new host, some of Smith's code was changed. He became a virus obsessed with his purpose - a purpose to stop Neo. That was his orriginal purpose, to a degree, and now it is his soul purpose.
