This whole site is brilliant, but this page is particularly germane: http://www.badassoft...plegangers.html

All of us can benefit from the wisdom dispensed therein. Relevant quotes follow:

A dopplegänger is an exact double of you in every way. This is a dangerous situation for anyone, because this ************ is your equal in speed, power and cunning. He's tough, he's difficult to defeat, and at best you are basically going to have a 50/50 chance of taking him down.

[...]

Fighting your clone is a lot like the Real Estate business; Location is everything. [...] One way to destabilize the playing field is to stage your final showdown in a location rife with peril and danger.

[...]

The second thing to consider when fighting the ultimate duel with your dopplegänger is your weapon configuration. Considering the fact that the two of you have equal levels of proficiency with the same weapons, it would be completely pointless for you to battle it out with identical gear. Instead, you will need to make sure that you switch up the weapon loadouts in a fair manner.

I'm failing to see statements beyond the application of common sense.

Namely:

Position is everything in warfare.
Don't bring a spoon to a knife fight.
