Carlos Hathcock and the Viet Cong sniper known only as the Cobra. Hathcock, considered by the United States Marines to be the greatest sniper they ever produced (and they produce some damn fine snipers) had a bounty of $35,000 put on his head by the North Vietnamese, and the Cobra was sent to collect. The day started with Cobra spotting Hathcock in camp, unawares, lining up a shot...and killing another marine a few feet from Hathcock, just to get his attention. Hathcock geared up and the two (along with Hathcock's spotter) proceeded to stalk each other around the valley they were in for the rest of the day, cat and mouse. Finally, as the sun was going down behind Hathcock's back, he caught a glimpse of sunlight glinting off a scope, and took the shot. When they found the Cobra, the bullet had passed straight through his scope, without even touching the side. Hathcock admitted that it was mostly luck, but had he not been the quicker on the trigger, the outcome would have been reversed; the shot was only possible because the Cobra had been trained directly on him. He would later admit in an interview to having a sneaky respect for the Cobra, saying "I figured he's almost as good as me...but nobody's that good."
****ing epic.
I guess Gideon is my worthy opponent. DDM's just a prick, RJ was merely mind-numbingly retarded and Scream and me rarely go at it any more.

that was the pointyoure meant to figure it out on your own
Also, the closest thing I can think of to having a 'worthy opponent' is prolly Scenario, since he was the one poster I would not have wanted to argue against. mmm He wasn't an opponent, though, and he's also probably died. 🙁
