"Run like the wind" sounds like you're under the impression that the speed will be extreme.

If that's the case, I assure you that it's only a slight increase.
If you haven't checked out the new spar arena in the middle, featured in this video, you should at least give it a shot. The speed in this level is only a slight increase, but just enough to make the fight more challenging and enjoyable.

I'm in the middle of studying for an exam, so I just hopped in quickly and sparred somebody with a seemingly decent rate. Thanks to Ghost Magus for participating.
