Yeah, Alita is very impressive in terms of fighting skill.
It can be really hard to compare different characters though, because some have physical capabilities over others that will give them an advantage when performing certain techniques or moves.
A guy who I always thought seemed pretty skilled was Agent Whiskey from the 2nd Kingsman movie. He was doing a decent job of fighting both Harry and Eggsy at once, on top of his other feats against fodder and such, and the actual things he does in a lot of his fights at least look like they'd require quite a bit of skill to do:
Best peak human live action combatant? If we are talking live action, no super/metahumans, no amps, serums, or implants....
Ozymandias from Zach Snyder's Watchmen, IMO. He's the closest cinema has ever come to portraying an omnicompetent Ubermenschian human (peak of mental/physical conditioning). He's above all live-action Batmans, ninjas, superspies, and commandos. Even the great Jack Bauer, Adrian Veidt is truly the ultimate cinematic badass.

Ip Man, dude was untouchable with skill alone and barely even got tested throughout his three filmsbut if you wanna limit it to just western films then ill say Bone from Blood n Bone, Michale Jai White cleaned HOUSE and wasn't ever really pushed by an opponent at all throughout the entire film
Non credentialed opponents in terms of feats though.
Id say Shaw Stathem from fast and furious would take him.
If we remove her, Neo, but he’s hacks.
So if we remove her and neo it would have to be
Super humans: Faora, Wonderwoman
Peak Humans: Captain America, Ozy and Batman
Street Level: Shaw, IP Man
Simply put there is no way to determine the best because everyone is in different categories and the ranges are two great.
Alita takes the cake because she’s not out of this world like a Kryptonian but she packs the biggest power and biggest skill in the tiniest frame.

👆 Ip Man would certainly be a contender.

That's the thing, you have to drop their stats to human level for this thread to be fair.
And that's why I'm iffy about putting Alita that high up there. Majority of the moves she pulled she was able to do due to her advanced cybernetics, especially once she had her berserker body.
Plus she never really went up against a skilled opponent. Mostly just thugs with high-tech gadgets. Not saying she's not skilled, just saying I wish we had more stuff to base her skill on.

Yeah, I honestly wouldn't put Alita there. Her abilities are way too enhanced by cybernetics.

What a complete joke, I guess you didn't see the race ball scene. Name a single person mentioned here that could pull that off.
forgot about yuri, dudes a beast, still think Ips got him tho, only fight he was ever pushed was when he fought the boxer and only because they cheaped him out and disallowed his kicks, also the guy was way bigger lol but Ip still won relatively easy, hell Tyson didn't even really give him any trouble although that was just a sparring match

She didn't go up against any skilled opponents😂
What a complete utter joke, she was in a universe of skilled opponents, and she went up against tons of highly skilled opponents at the same time and stomped them all out.
