1: Gunfight. Cobra is armed with his .45 and his machine gun. McClane is armed with his Beretta and his MP-5. Fight takes place in a closed grocery store at noon.
2. H2H combat. No weapons. No zippos. No SUV's. No Crown Vics, nothing. Fight takes place in a professional boxing ring.
3. Vehicular combat. Cobra is in his hot rod, and is armed with the weapons from scenario one. McClane is in a vehicle identical to Cobra's, and is also armed with the weapons from scenario one.
Have at it.

1. Both have excellent aim. But I've seen Cobra throw a knife in a dudes neck before he could get a shot in. Cobra doesn't miss either.
2. Cobra kicks McClane so hard he bounces off the ropes and back into a clothesline. Beatdown commences.
3. Cobra in a horrible stomp. Cobra gets the lead on McClane, does a 180 spin then while driving in reverse blows the crap out of John.
Then does another 180, uses nitros and flies into the sunset.

Love Marion Cobretti, but McClane takes both contests. McClane can use anything as a weapon. And as kewl of a Merc that Cobra had, he drove it into a boat while McClane took out a helicoptor.
Which is why Mac takes 3. 1 and 2 go to Cobra though.

McClane had to get Samuel Jackson to take some kind of brake pin out of his car then use the rains slipperiness to take down the goons behind him. In DieHard with a Vengeance.
Cobra just did it using skill alone.
McClane's Helicopter feat was a luck/advantageous situation that Cobra would have mimicked if in the same situation.......but better!....and to a thumping 80's soundtrack.

McClane could still hang with Cobra, in all three scenarios. (Unlike Riggs) you tried gimping McClane of all screen feats as usual, but you forgot the most important assets of all: His unknockoutableness, his unkillability as seen in 4 (soon to be six) movies. Cobra gets raped hard aginst Mcclane in a vehicle.
I gimped nothing. I placed them on an even playing field. Quote the specific part of the OP where I gimped McClane.

So McClane needs that shit in order to kick ass. K.
I took that shit away to make it an even playing field. I even gave McClane a vehicle on par with Cobra's. You want him facing Cobra in a crown vic?
But hey, go ahead and place an SUV, a Crown Vic and a zippo in the boxing ring. Have at it, champ.

How am I butthurt? By creating a thread where two combatants are on an even playing field?
What's gimped about this? Give Mac his zippo, place an SUV in the ring, hell, place it next to an elevator shaft. Knock yourself out, duder. Did you miss the part where I gave Mac a car like Cobra's? How's that gimping?

McClane has super-aim, hitting that thin cable with a snubnose gun and all. McClane takes it.
McClane isn't a fancy fighter but he gets the job done, He doesn't rely on energy and time consuming fancy kicks where the villain stands and waits for contact. He just beats ass the old fashioned way and has a iron chin. Which is what he'd do here, beat midget ass.
Hahahahaaa? Do I even need to get into what McClane can do with a car? McClane wins this, easy.
Mac had loads of time to aim for that shot. Not the kind of time he'll have here.
Also not sure how well he could handle Cobra's twin car.

Just saying, he didn't display any uber marksmanship beyond that line shot.
No, dude. It's a hot rod with nitrous. You ever drive a car like that? They handle alot different than a crown vic.
