But at the end of the day, your skills don't matter if you aren't fast enough to put them to
good use against an opponent who is faster than yourself. Going by logic, Karate Kid wouldn't
beat Spider-Man, and Cap definately wouldn't. All skill in the world won't help if you can't
hit your opponent, and possibly will be knocked out before thinking of it. You might have the
thought of dodging your opponent's attack, but you don't got the speed to live up to it.

My point is, speed counters skill. At least if we debate logically.
Oh, and I am well aware of this not belonging to this section, but the first impression I got of this site was the lack of knowledge on basic psychics, so felt like pointing this out...

The speed difference counts for a whoooole lot. Otherwise linebackers would never catch receivers and running backs.

Spider-Man is generally accepted to be much faster than Cap. Cap got no speed feats that should put him close to Spider-Man, except his fights against him. But we know Cap's fights shouldn't be taken too seriously, like when he knocked Hulk down in Ultimates.

Yes he does. Any feat Spidey has, Cap has one to match.

skill wins. Deathstroke put a serious hurting on Flash b4. and could do so again because of his skill.
While Slade does have way more skill than Wally he also has a ludicrously fast first step and reaction speed.

He also uses his hands well to shed blockers
