Maybe people that complain about, running, wallsparring, or spamming are in the minority. I was expecting more of that.

I agree that whatever wins, outside of cheating, is good sparring. I also actually like seeing players from other countries. Maybe soon internet speeds will be so good that distance won't cause so much lag.  

Think what Aaron meant is that delayers who make constant status's about how they're the greatest sparrer of all time are annoying and bad which I agree. Obviously, people cannot help if they delay or lag, but if someone wins cause there lag or delay saved them from getting hit like 3-4 times on clear shots, then they shouldn't be bragging. And I think Vlad said this, that there's a join queue button so you should know every spar should have a chance of you getting a lagger and you shouldn't complain. The laggers who brag after, people already know they're bad and they just get bad reputations by being cocky assholes.  

What in my opinion differentiates a good sparrer from a great sparrer is the ability to constantly adapt and to learn how to face and beat different opponents with different styles from all different parts of the world.

A good sparrer to me is someone who only uses their main account to spar on. It shows that they don't care as much for ratios compared to someone who uses noob accounts to "practice spar".

-Not raging after a match
-Not cocky
-Not selective sparring underrated players


Now what I like about how other people spar is they have their own style, which is unique and challenging sometimes. I have no problems with people who rushes their oppenent, stays on walls, lags, runs, ect. To be honest, everyone else shouldn't have a problem with that either. You know better than to click the queue button and expect to have a solid-going match.

What I dislike about how other people spar is only if they intentionally lag, speed hack, invisibility hack, or logs off during the match. Other then that, I'm pretty easy going with the whole spar issues like so many other players have.

This. People who blames others because of their race and where they live. It's their fault because they live where they are? No. People like him are at the bottom of the Spar Community. Not trying to start anything, but it is just a game. No reason to hate anyone because of their nationality/race.

Some players abuse their lag. I won't say who, but when they are about to die, they are starting to lag really bad.

I will say who zax and muffinman they should both be banned  

For me, a great sparrer doesn't even need a good statistic, just someone who spars and takes a lose as a win, and a win as a win. Someone, who doesn't complain and enjoys the sparring because it's fun, no matter against whom. At all, just a fair sportsman.  

Sparring isn't a social event. Never will be and never has been something where you can claim you are good or claim that someone is bad just by saying it. You can't chat your way into having a reputation as a sparrer, and I won't even get into a list of people who stress over trying to do it because I find it sort of embarrassing.

You're a bad sparrer when you lose over and over and make excuses for it. You're bad when you refuse to blame yourself, because you're not even making an attempt at taking up some responsibility and improving. You're a very awful sparrer when someone beats you and you immediately resort to bringing up your iOS keyboard to frantically type "OMG NOOB" or "OMG DELAY" as fast as possible. You are probably a bad sparrer if you spend half of your time in the Battle Arena chatting instead of sparring. There's a really, really good chance that you are an overrated, average-tier, unconfident sparrer if you literally stress over spar points and feel so overwhelmed with joy when you finally reach the #1 spot that you can't resist but make a status about it.

You are a good sparrer if you beat people and don't cry and make excuses when you lose. I don't even know how you can question if someone is a good sparrer. It's pretty easy to prove. If someone were to call me a bad sparrer, I'd tell them that I am better than them and then make multiple efforts to prove it and embarrass them, because that's the only thing enjoyable to me in this game. If someone consistently beats you, and others, you're dumb for saying they're bad. If you're too scared of scarring your reputation on this bad game and refuse to even spar them and would rather gossip and talk about them then you're a fan.

Even if you have a trash attitude, the social part of the games means 0 in the sparring community. That is why I can say Zeross was a good sparrer on PC. His attitude was disgusting and he behaved like a clown, but he would beat you in a spar. If you're cocky or arrogant then it doesn't matter, no one can take away the fact that you can beat them straight up in a spar. All they can do is whine about it.

I love you.  

zeross didn't take losses too well in recent years. to me, he lacked the mindset of someone who can accept that, and that is why he will not improve much further.

although with the "dead spar community" nowadays, it shouldn't matter.  

Character. Character determines whether the Graalian is a good or bad sparrer. I honestly don't care if I lose to a good sparrer or a bad. It's the bragging and the "You sucks" or "You lags" that I hate. It's not my fault if I occasionally spar on my 2G iPod or if I want to use my computer. Just get the hell over with it.
