No they aren't. Almost every Art is useful in one situation or another. Versatility in the Arts never hurt anyone.

Just to throw this out there: what if Spider-Man knew Cap's fighting style as well as Cap knew his?
1. Irrelevant. He doesn't.
2. In the hypothetical situation that he did, it'd minimally affect the outcome - Spidey isn't the tactical melee genius that Cap is.

I tire of this whole bullet argument.Don't you know bullets, lasers, ninjas and trained soldiers are the most ridiculous things in comics? You can't base your whole argument off a bullet after its been fired. In real life no one below quicksilver speed should be able to dodge a bullet as most bullets travel around the speed of sound, and some can reach mach 2/3 and even greater. Secondly, no one below Wonder women speed should be able to dodge lasers; because you know, lasers travel at the speed of light?
In comics can Spidey dodge lasers? Yes
In comics can Cap dodge lasers? Yes
In comics hell Aunt may could probably dodge a laser.
In real life would any of the above be possible, HELL NO. And I know what you thinking "The spidersense will warn him", sure it will, and he will probably be able to get out of the path of the laser [b]BEFORE
its fired. But I'm talking about no spider sense after its fired. No one has that speed below Wonder women level, and then people on her level would get tagged more often then not because lasers are just as fast as them.That is real life, this is comics. You can keep up with all the math all you want, but at the end of the day, suspension of disbelief will see you through most of the disbelief.
Spiderman is fast enough to dodge bullets and see them in slow motion and so is cap. So how is it possible anybody ever lands a punch on them that isn't above quicksilver level in speed. They should never get tagged, in theory it makes sense. But again this is comics, and some things you have to take with a grain of salt.
Moral of story: bullet feats are good, but don't take them too far and leave the real life math out. [/B]

Minimally.

Irrelevant - Cap's durable enough to take Spidey's wild punches. Spidey can't resist Cap's nerve strikes.

He isn't precognitive. He has a spider sense, which is a bit different. He doesn't predict the future. He gets an alarm, so to speak. It's been fooled before, and can be fooled again. Especially by someone as experienced, skilled, and tactically sound as Captain America.

Did you happen to notice that the fight is hand to hand? There is no webbing here. (Please note that I feel if webbing
were allowed, I'd give this match to Spidey for a large majority.)

Sure, in a comic it could happen due to jobber auras and PIS, but in a vs. match I doubt it.
Captain America has been able to take on Parker and Parker-level foes since his inception. It's as much PIS for Cap to take on low-metas as it is for the Surfer to fly through space, or Thor to call a bolt of lightning. They've been doing it since day one.
