Alright, so I've been playing Team Fortress 2 again recently after not playing it since about when it came out.
I'd just gotten the new spy watch, Cloak and Dagger, which allows you to stay cloaked indefinitely as long as you're not moving, and figured I'd try it out.
It's an "Arena" match, meaning everyone only has 1 life. You die, you're out until the next round. I'm the only one left on my team, and there's a Heavy, Scout and enemy Spy on the BLU team.
They Heavy is sitting on the capture point and the Scout is bouncing around near him, with the Spy nowhere to be seen. I sneak up behind the heavy and manage to backstab him which kills him instantly. I immediately re-cloak.
Thankfully the Scout wasn't paying attention and has no idea where I am. He's standing on a large stack of boxes and I can't quite make it to the top to get right behind him. I am able to, however, stand on the box to his left a little below him and still somehow get a successful backstab. 2 down, 1 to go.
Now it's just the enemy Spy and I, and only now does he show up thankfully. He's clearly not wearing the new watch as his cloak keeps going on and off. Patiently I wait, letting my cloak energy go back up. I move in for the kill, but he moves at the last second and I miss. I jump off the bridge the control point is on and start shooting at him from below.
From his shots and the fall damage I'm sitting at 5 HP. A light breeze would kill me, so I hide behind a rock and let my energy recharge once more. Thankfully this watch recharges faster since it only uses energy while you move, but uses it really fast.
I sneak back up onto the bridge and hide behind the boxes again, while he apparently thinks I'm still out there and goes looking for me. I wait patiently as he runs around, going in and out of cloak as his energy dries up, then sneak up behind him when he finally returns to the bridge.
With one final slash and the eruption of cheers from my team, the 3-1 match ends in favor of the RED team.
Best. Match. Ever.
