practice and determination...you will not fail lol.

Practice! That's the only real way to get good...

Set yourself a goal, eg 10 spar wins a day, and increase that by 1 every day.

300* wins a day

I'm going to be honest I sat there for about 10 minutes trying to figure out how the hell I was meant to manipulate "spar." So thanks for that clarification.

As for everyone else thanks for actually giving advice. I was sort of expecting nothing but trolling. But I'm happy with the comments J've gotten.

There is no way in hell 10 spar wins a day is possible. But I understand what you mean.

Doesn't matter about the losses. The more you lose, the more you learn and improve. This well help you get your 10 wins.

I have stated I don't give a **** about losses.

My smurf acc got banned :(

Thallen, please, I was talking about me.

I just realized he wasn't asking for tips. He was just asking how people became as good as they are.

I know, I'm just saying that you should be able to get 10 wins per day. I don't know your skill level though, so I guess I have no idea.

I probably became high tier after maybe 3 months of sparring. I didn't see improvement again for many years when I actually became staff on playerworlds and ran tests to better understand hit detection and directional weaknesses, stuff like that. So, it's one thing to get a good feel for sparring and know how to beat people just out of comfort for sparring styles and strategies, but at a higher level you only really improve by knowing player tendencies and more intricate mechanics that have to do with movement and hit detection.

Which is what some of us need to be able to know, if only we had a super detailed, well written and factual resource where we could learn about the technicalities of sparring too...

Where do you think he got his?He wrote it himself(assuming)...so we basically got 2 ways to know what Thallium knows:

1.Blackmail Dusty that we have his noods in exchange for all the information.

2.Become an admin on playerwords and go through all the trouble of finding all that stuff ourselves...

the first one would be pretty easy...
