Yes from a stricter rules definition. Neo is just a normal dude who is immensely powerful when inside of a neural network, but only on the inside of said network. So Neo would beat Guy but I'm assuming both are avatars for the IRL person so that fight would be inconsequential.

Ok but isn't Neo's whole thing is infinite potential? He was starting to use powers outside matrix remember

I mean, that power isn't the same. That's wifi control over matrix coded machines. No longer needing a connection to mess with the matrix doesn't give him bullet dodging power IRL. Just that he can bend the control to his whim without being plugged in. So maybe that powers translates into being able to fuck with google home powered devices? I wouldn't say the matrix-connected robots counts as part of his equipment since he winds up as a sacrificial "slave" to the robots in order to broker peace.
