BTW, she wasn't "all over the place", just another example of you seeing what you want to; not what really happened. She basically ran down the hallway, jumped on the shelving once and did a couple of spins. Oh no, Preston can't cope with that, he's only coped with 20+ machine-guns firing at him all at the same time.
Bullet dodging, Rob. Hit Girl wins by dodging all of Prestons bullets and filling him with hot lead.
Fact.
Itso.
Add it up.

Except she's not "dodging all of Preston's bullets". While on the other hand, Preston's literally shown to be capable of avoiding multiple machine-gun fire with ease.

No, see, like steve, my point went right over your head.
Not supposed to repeat myself, but obviously missed it, here:
It's not important whether or not her opponents moved. He fighting style does not rely on the same things that Gun Kata does. In the movie Equilibrium, every opponent who Preston was shown using Gun Kata effectively on, was either standing still or in the same general spot. AND they were all slow as shit.
Hit Girl is fast as hell and will be all over the place.
The opponents Preston employed Gun Kata on with impressive results were either:
A: Standing still
or
B: Moving slowly
I am challenging you, right here, right now, to name a time when Preston used Gun Kata with effectiveness against someone as fast and as agile as HG.
No?
K.
There isn't one. THAT'S Preston's high end Gun Kata feat, against men who were standing still, or who were moving maybe a little bit, and slowly to boot. It's right there in his movie, accept it.

And like I said previously, I do love when you try these bottom of the barrel scraping maneuvers.
Counter: I am challenging you, right here, right now, to name a time when Hit-Girl used her skills with effectiveness against someone as fast and as agile as Preston.
You're dodging The answer to the question I asked is everything, it closes the thread and nullifies Preston's Gun Kata. You know this, so you aren't answering.
Where does that leave us? I'll tell ya:
1. HG dodges bullets, Preston does not.
2. Preston's Gun Kata (his main weapon) is nullified, rendering him just another guy with a gun.
Going by feats, he most certainly does not, see 1 and 2 above.

Preston never had to dodge because he was too fast for any of those guys to even fire at him, Prestons gonna fire too quick for HG to dodge and his weapon is an automatic...I don't remember HG having to dodge any of those in the movie. If she was bullet dodger she wouldn't have had to hide behind the kitchen worktop. She could have easily grabbed those butcher knives and started using them whilst dodging bullets. And she had her grappling hook...thingy...she coulda used to that to her advantage....pretty sure dead guys on the floor had ammo in their guns...coulda grabbed one of those guns and used them. But no...she did none of that, she hid behind a worktop. It does matter that HG never hit a moving target because it's not likely that if HG was shooting at him that Preston is just gonna be standing still.
And HG hid because she was outta ammo, here she has all she needs.

But he's not just another guy with a gun, I've read what you've said and I'm saying that HG never took on a fast shooter like Preston nor did she shoot a moving target. HG is fast yes but so is preston, he's got an automatic handgun, HG never dodged an automatic. He'll shoot HG before she can even move or take a shot.
What? Bid Daddy WAS nothing but an average cop. Ok, yeah, he was able to act as a thorn in the side of a drug dealer but that's only because he had no regard for the law. I mean, maybe if he didn't get outsmarted by a teenager or burned to death...,i might give him more credit. The only thing he did was sneak up on street level thugs and kill them with shotguns.
Hit-girl.., a bad ass yeah, but still a little girl that got leveled by a round house kick from a middle aged man. That dude, rocked her little pig-tailed world and would have killed her if it weren't for kick ass.
Ok, maybe Preston killed, mostly, cops through out the movie but he never struggled and did it all effortlessly and his big show was him killing a master cleric as though he was a training dummy.
I still agree though, Gun Kata doesn't automatically equal an instant kill. I think, Gun Kata is highly overrated.

Ah, so Preston is allowed to use the full automatic function on his pistols? So HG has semi auto, Preston has full auto. Gimp much?
Pretty sure the thread starter will agree that in order to keep it even, Preston can only use semi auto.
That, or he should allow full gear for HG, everything she had in her backpack.
Downplaying Big Daddy? You must die!!!
I was referring to the remark earlier about McClane beinb an average cop, babe.
I ask for the millionth time, what does this have to do with her gun skills?
Nothing.
Preston missed the one cop who moved as he shot, fact.
Preston had a bit of trouble with the poser at the end, fact.
Gun Kata is incredibly effective in Prestons world, where idiots stand in one spot and shoot away.

Where do they fight? Night or day? Well lit environment?
And also, what I just said:

I have to agree with this though. Gun Kata only works in the Equilibrium Universe. The concept just doesn't make any sense to me, so its hard to debate with it. Even the scenes where he waltzes around while everyone misses looked ridiculous to me.
That's a stupid premise to dismiss abilities feats, it's fiction.
By that same account someone can say "Spider-man's webbing is only super-strong in his universe. Also, his Spider-sense is lame, so it doesn't work in 'this' Vs fight.'
What doesn't it make sense? The man is trained to position himself to consistently avoid gunfire.
Not really, considering they're both fiction. Though gunkata makes more sense when applied to the real world than a man becoming like a spider with super-duper powers. Though both are absurd fiction.
Still not getting it. no, I know you're getting it, you're just ignoring it.
First things first. This:
This needs to be addressed before this debate goes any further.
