But we use visual speed unless there is evidence of something going faster.4 to 5 guys shooting directly at a Predator at close range (some with machine guns) and they don't hit anything? You have to be significantly faster than a human to move even evasively to avoid being struck from that close of distance. Clints arrows don't home. Once they enter the air they move in a straight line. Arrows are significantly slower than bullets. Any evasive action will cause them to miss. Preds even targeted and shot down projectiles shot at them before.
Preds can stay ranged and take out Clint first. Black Widow and Bucky are basically fodder here. It will take Cap time to close the distance on one of them. But that ignores the others gunning for him while he does so. He blocks the attacks of the one he's closing in on but gets hit by the others in the process.
The advantage of the all the ranged attacks and invisibility makes the Preds win this fight.
Tbh
If it was just the Predalien against the team then win or lose the Predalien is going to take some out before it goes down.
Why I keep responding to you is beyond me, but here goes.
How fast do you think Cap and BP were running here? Before you use your amazing skills of visual deduction lets factor in a couple of things first. They are running with sprinting Wakanda soldiers who are at peak physical fitness. Also take this into account, Usain Bolt was once clocked at 28 mph during a sprint.

You dont feel Clint can hit a Predator because some have avoided being hit by a hail of bullets wildly being shot by mere humans that were most likely shook at the time?

55 sec mark he curves a long range shot that destroys a helicarrior engine. (that arrow alone would take out probably every predator in this debate)
2:37 mark he shoots an arrow right in the middle of the head that proceeds to take out 4 or 5 more at the same time
3:21 he takes out a speeding chitauri glider without even looking. A glider that is moving and much faster than any predator.
3:37 hit a chitauri on a glider right in the head from long distance
4:27 taking multiple people out from a moving truck on uneven land
5:11 displays yet another concussive arrow that would take out numerous predators
Takes out numerous speeding Ultron bots that are faster than predators and displaying the ability to shoot more than one arrow at a time
10:07 mark I forgot his Ronin stint. Throwing knives from long distances and his fighting ability.
I'm not pointing out anymore. You should get the idea by now. Clint isnt just some human shooting a machine gun.
You said Bucky was fodder? Lol. Good lord.
