Get someone who knows what they're doing to show you some tips and tell you what to improve, as Droid and did for me.

This might not be the easiest of things for me, I only have a couple friends who are really good in spar. I'll try though.

Spar opponents better than you - You learn more from losing.

I will try to do this in the future, I don't always have control of who I fight though, the tournament room queues are too long so I usually stick to the side rooms.

Enter a sparring guild, when you guild spar you can learn lots of techniques and put them to use in singles spar.

I occasionally guild spar with Absence when we have 2 members online, it is fun to attempt to 2v5, no good gs guild would want me though.[/QUOTE]

As far as techniques go, I'll list what I do in different scenarios.
Your opponent has good wifi?
Spar normally, hit once then move away to a different location. Try not to be predictable and predict where you think they will go and swing your sword there.
Bad wifi
If your opponent is laggy and stops moving but cannot be hit, hit everywhere in the arena. Once their wifi catches up, everywhere you've swung your sword will appear for them. If you've swung your sword everywhere you're guaranteed to get a hit.
Delay
I find fighting delay tricky, try and stick close to a wall and swing your sword a lot. Predict where they'll go and swing there, make sure to keep them at bay as on your screen they might look like they're 3 tiles away from you but in reality they're right next to you.

Thanks for all the advice, i'll try to implement these tips into my practice.
