EDIT: I'm talking about fighting all of these people while they were in their prime. Pretty interesting fights with 'em all. And they're all mainly US players because I don't play EU.
snarkey like a year or two ago
theirillusion
son-of-hades
tmdals
icycute
There are some people that I just can't seem to beat on my own (ie. without distraction), even when I happen to have perfect prediction.
I would say Dutch Oven for Guardian, Bonbonn (is he an alt?) for Recon, and countless people for Striker.
Greenlosuct. maybe I spell the name wrong but everyone know him BTW hardest guardian I ever fought. well I think I don't have players hard to fight BTW its all end using polaris :P
Drdovis, Bleyu, Theirillusion, Icycute, Vokster, Shen-She.
EDIT: due to feline injuries, a certain player has been removed.

Hmm...
Nalrayi (He was a big rival of mine in the past, damn good player)
Solimando (Another rival, our 1v1s during RLD were always intense back in the day)
Norespekt (always been a good player)
Contr- no wait he sucks...
Djdovis (few months back, this guy sucked. But he's done nothing but improve over those few months)
Ezho (cause AT)

and it seems that I am not challenging xD
@thread
uuuuh zurmar and nore
Jung they were T2 LD players from 2011 to about 2012. T2 players can relate.
This is unfair. Unparalled is god. Jumazo what the hell man.

I'd like to point out having watched this game, Unparalleled, god of combos and ego of 5 proud mountains, used only 10 sparks of life.
Another 11 in the game that followed. Can we all agree to say this guy is the best player of all times already?
That's some amazing dedication right there! I so agree with you, best player ever.
More or less the 64,17% of the players listed here can't even aim properly (or at least they don't try it). I encourage all these people to go here http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/107439 and prove if they are real challenging players or just noobs like Zainj.
should mention you'll need some flourish and blaster guns if you wanna go 1v1, ditch them slow weapons already.
You have a bunch of infantry with assault rifles fighting a squadron of tanks. The fight is not challenging for the infantry because the tanks have an unfair advantage. What kind of logic is that?
The OP asked for challenging players, not skilled players.
AT makes a fair point. The distinction between skilled and effective players is one often ignored because "AT is for noobs" even though AT players may very well be a carrying force and often be part of determining which team wins a game.
Bullpig and Epic-Legend-Knight in just straight up duels.
Van-Winkle and Evenics are hard to approach, so I often lose or just walk away. Evenics in particular deserves special mention, because the one night I played multiple matches against them, I ended up having capture battles as opposed to duels. Plus respect for another BTB/Nova player.
I know who uses AT and cannot be asked to really care. That is all off the top of my head for recent LD.
