I didn't selective spar at least not after I got my 2nd loss, so I guess he did do it better. I made my account 2 years ago. He used hacks though, so that's another thing

Planned to go 1000-10, It started off with 88-1 (2013 I did selective spar), then I lost to some delayer and and gave up. Came back when I got better, and ended up with 210-22 (Fought in all rooms). Didn't even have a 10:1 ratio. I gave up and came back a few months later when I got better.

Got 10:1 back at 410-40 (2014). Left the account, because I didn't like taking every spar too seriously.

By this time I won 2 gsts with main, and still felt underrated (teammates) forcing me to continue my very annoying account. Got it to 610-48, didn't want to continue, left it for a few months, by now it's 2015.

April 2015, Had my account at 700-56. Didn't feel like continuing, but I was thinking of switching over so I sparred for 3 days. Only when the server wasn't lagging, so 8 am - 12 am pst. Monday 100-4 (800-60, felt like it wasn't worth getting up for an account, but I might as well finish what I started), Wednesday 100-0 (900-60, felt good about that day, and wanted to finish it off tomorrow), Thursday 100-6 (Didn't get the results I wanted in the end, but eh). By the time I saw how good I could get my ratio to, 1000-10 (since my router turns off sometimes, flash goes unstable, or some delayer has the craziest delay ever) if I don't rush for every game. I don't like that though, too boring and waste of time.

How did I do it without selective sparring? I stayed back a ton, when match started I had to check the person's flag to know if they were going to delay or not. Either way idc about that account, it's worthless to me. Was only something I made to see how well I could do. Would have wanted to make a new account, but I have an event hat, and anniversary mount on that account, so didn't want to start over.

Moral of the story is don't make an account with dream stats. I always think of leaving my main, and end up not doing that. But I always want to, since I don't spar as actively as I used to, and it feels like a retirement account.  

I definently selective spar (enter Kappa)  

I kinda like this leaderboard points setup because we can tell who selective spars by doing the simple math Comyt & Thallen have bought up lol.  

Let people get whatever stats they want.
So what if someone selective spars? Does it affect you?
He's still a good sparrer imo and I don't doubt he could beat many Alumni members. He was also sparring in the mixed room in many occasions.
Also, he doesn't use a vpn he just has bad internet for the time being due to things that aren't his fault.

In no way am I trying to start arguments, but just because someone has a good ratio doesn't mean they're a booster/selective sparrer.  

I don't see why this is a big deal anyway. If this dude wants to do a type of sparing, fine. It doesn't effect anyone. Unless you whine and cry when you have a bad spar ratio. If I lost to this dude, I wouldn't care. I thought this game was about having fun and not about how numbers look on your profile?

Not if it's an account that has been made before this season, unless there are some creepy stalkers.  

If they're good enough to beat anyone anyway why would they need to selective spar?

I don't believe you for a second if you're saying you wouldn't complain if a sparrer like me followed you all throughout the arena, exclusively queuing up against you because you're a relatively new sparrer and easy wins

I didn't say you I said y'all, chill.

Well anyways isn't that what most threads are about? And sorry for the late reply I was busy.

It effects inexperienced players who never had a chance to actually do good and get better while sparring others around the same skill level it isn't fair lol. I mean that's one of the main reasons I have 18 :-k loses now not because I'm a bad sparrer.  

I don't personally see anything wrong with selective sparring, if they're in it for the stats, so be it. It's their loss anyways, they aren't getting better.  

I can't follow a selective sparrer, because then they start yelling at me saying I'm selective sparring them for their points.

There is nothin wrong with people doing what they want, as long as it doesn't break any rules.

Nope

It basically is they not only talk about idea's they also talk about problems and this thread is about a problem but apparently when I discuss one you try to make it seem as it wasn't one and I was just complaining for no reason.
