I don’t think you understand the meaning of combat tactics, yes Spidey has wonderful reflexes and can act on a dime but SS has fought the likes of Longshot. Just because Spidey can move doesn’t mean he can’t be hit. Example is that he jumps over on slice and while in midair SS cuts up, granted Spidey knows its coming but can’t do anything about it because he can’t fly. Spidey’s senses only alerts him that danger is coming and from a general direction but no the exact type of danger.Even though he responds to attacks by instincts and reaction he still has a style of fighting just like everyone else and he is not really trained in the martial arts and different fighting styles but relies on his speed and strength so he does have very predictable moves. SS fought all of his life in Mojoworld’s arena and some of the weirdest things that you can think of and powers to boot and still alive and kicking to tell about it so Spidey jumping around shouldn’t be too much of a problem.
Now I’m not saying that this would be easy for SS at all and I would give Spidey 6/10 but it’s not a walk in the park by any means. I just hate that people don’t give the credit for combat experience and tactics enough credit. Throughout history weaker opponents have beaten stronger ones just because they had better strategies or experience.
I believe you are misconstruing my response, my friend. I never once said that combat experience and tactics don't amount to anything. In fact, I'd say that Shatterstar could win the majority of fights against many other street-level characters. But, the fact is, Spider-Man is just too powerful for someone like SS to pose a threat. He exceeds him in every physical category, as well as being much smarter and much more resourceful than SS.
And, just to clear things up, Spider-Man's spider sense actually does alert of him of the exact attack coming his way. It's been shown in the comics over and over again. It lets him know what the attack is, where it's coming from, and where it would make contact if he were to not move. I'm at work now, but I have scans of such at home. But think about it. If he didn't know anything about the attack coming his way, how would be able to judge things the way that he does. Using your logic, a fist coming for his face from a super-strong foe coming for his face would produce the same reaction as if a fully-loaded semi is heading straight for his face as well. But, as I'm sure you know, you need two completely different moves to counter/avoid the two different threats, don't you? Yes, yes you do.
Just think about that one for awhile. Spider-Man wins 9/10.
