I can't continue to individually argue about the PC vs. iDevice issue because I feel like my points will go majorly overlooked and ignored, however I will leave you guys with one more long and exhausting post on the subject. iDevice users who pin the PC platform as your excuse to losing to certain sparrers: I encourage you to read Playing to Win. I've played several online games competitively and love referring people to this book and the articles on it. Let me just quote a few passages here that directly apply to some things I've read in this thread. In reference to claiming that using a PC is cheap or unfair:
With that being said, I hope that every PC player who is harassed for choosing to play on their preferred platform is strong-minded enough to never let the scrub get to you. The only way that they can prove that they are more skilled than you is if they beat you. And I'm done for tonight. |

Again, I'm not going to waste any more effort typing out any well-thought and explanatory posts on this topic because they're clearly going to waste. I really don't understand why you're taking offense to anything I said, actually. None of it was subjective or even offensive. I'd be willing to open up and go back into if an active and at least semi-accomplished member of the sparring community comes along and wants to discuss it intelligently. It'd probably be best to do that through PMs. I'll be on iClassic winning spars in the meantime. |

The funny thing is, Thallen, a lot of these guys don't understand a lot of what you are saying. You mentioned earlier about "blink" and it just made me laugh. Old days. There were some serious spar contenders back then on PC Graal. I personally thought us Old Delterian Sparrers were *cough* better because our MV Spar Arena was the best. |

Pretty sure the speed difference between an newer iDevice and an older one is related to the FPS (correct me if I'm wrong). But graal caps FPS at 30 so a PC wouldn't have any more of an advantage then a newer device.

I used some programs like "Game Booster"(dunno if that's the name) while playing Graal over the client, and it was kind of helpful. But nowadays, if I spar over Firefox mainly, my GraalClient and my RemoteControl are open all the time. Of course this increases my delay a bit, but I'm faster aswell and people started to think I'm using trainers. So, as Ash said, there's a way to boost your speed on a PC all the time given.
