Damn, that's bout as lucky as when I played AvsP2 and did a kill from all the way on the other side of the map as an Alien (ie: jumped, swung, jumped, swiped predator's head off within a second). Could never do it again.. probably like he'll never make that knife shot again.
You never had that level of "whoa... shit..." back during Wolf3D lol, pretty much if it was in front of you, you hit it.
