Why does it even matter? If someone does lag or has a delay it's not like they can do anything about it. Complaining about it isn't going to help, especially on here.

I know Thallen can stop his lag by stop using Cheat engine. (Cheat engine does make you lag a little)

Wealthy area* I don't start a shirtstorm? What are you talking about I Pk and Guild spar sometimes, I hate sparring. I only spar to test my abilities against good sparrers, unlike other people who spar noobs and get a 40 win streak(Thallen) before someone better then him comes and ends the streak(Comyt)

Comparing Thallen to Comyt is quite stupid. I mean they're completely different sparrers and people for that matter. If you look at Thallen, he doesn't always spar noobs, he just joins queue whenever he wants and doesn't be a baby about every little detail of this game. Comyt however is just a kid that selective spars and thinks he's so good by getting #2 on idevice leaderboards by abusing a bug to reset his rating, nor is he good at all since I've beat him and seen him get whooped numerous times. That being said, shut up.

You're making rather outrageous claims.

How do you know Cheat Engine makes you lag? I mean, you must've at least tried it to know such a fact.

Yeah, I'm probably wrong but he did seem a little fast. I've been playing iClassic from the start and I kinda know what the speeds should look like but the again my calculations might be wrong

Ya I tried it. I also know that even if your speed is 10% higher then normal and then you ride a mount, it's pretty much an auto ban if any admins are on  

10% is a freakin' lot. PC Classic banned people for less than 0.001 difference in movement speed.

Oh but the thing is guys, I don't get complaints about my delay, because I don't delay! The complaints I get are from people WHO I called laggers/delayers. It's like an automatic response. As seen here, I called thallen a "lagger", he called me a delayer-- do you see? Too bad I'm the only one telling the truth of how he lags.

Thallen never lagged to me, but as you referred to the "automatic response" of people blaming lag/delay for their loss, I believe the response is pretty universal. Tons and tons of people complain about it right after they lose, even after they win sometimes. And to be honest, from what I've seen over the past few years, it doesn't even need to be true. In fact, many times it isn't true. Its a peace of mind they present to themselves.

BTW everything makes you lag. The less you have open, the better.  

POLL: is sparring dead or no

i vote no  

Both Thallen and Comyt are good sparrers.

However, for Thallen to make the claim that Sarah has any level of skill is funny. It isn't her fault she delays, it's her location. Still, I find that even when I spar her she uses her own delay as a strategy. Then whenever she loses (which happens often), all she replies with is an 'lmao'. I then messaged her "I beat you in spar, what's funny about that?" and I was promptly blocked.

That's majority of the spar community. They abuse whatever they got and then act like they're some big shot.  

If "selective sparring" is queing in the main room, sparring whoever comes along, then yes... I'm guilty. I think I speak for (most) decent sparrers when I say: I would rather spar a good player than 10 bad players.

Also - yes to what Thallen said. If you need tips you could PM either of us and we'll probably reply if you aren't an idiot (i.e Simple-Z aka Ash Ketchum). If you to be taught more in-depth sparring techniques thats what I made Apfelsaft for, a guild for [relatively] new sparrers to learn how to spar.

If she is so used to having her own specific connection, how can you blame her for knowing how to spar through it? In fact, it sounds like she's put some thought into the game's mechanics to understand that. That's a quality of a good sparrer. However, she does understand prediction and defense pretty well, given that her opponents often react to her spar similarly in the arena. People with these kinds of mentalities are perfect to switch it up a bit and trick them. I don't think she "abuses" her disadvantage at all.

As for your reply, I bet a lot of people would block you if you made a cocky remark like that in PM, expecting a response. Kind of immature, in my opinion. Her spar response "lmao" is vague enough to avoid any particular meaning, and I actually have only ever seen her say it about once. I've spoken with her, she's very nice. To ridicule someone so harshly is... well, harsh.

On topic, I think it may be safe to say that spar is not dead.
