4 wins with US, 2 wins with Alumni

probably would have been more with both if I hadn't randomly gone inactive for many GSTs that they continued to dominate without me.

Was expecting more but that explanation makes sense. Still 6 more than most people though!

US and Alumni, she's always been good imo. She is a very aggressive sparrer.

I have played a bunch on both idev and pc. Started on idev for my first two years, but since have split my play about 60-40 in favor of idev. PC is the surperior medium for sparring, if I would say it straight. Though facing lag and delay on a PC is basically a crapshoot. However, I think that Idev is much, much, much harder to get the hang of than pc. Not that pc is easy, but it is closer to what most people are used to. Just my thoughts on the matter.

In response to OP.
I would say that I enjoy the initial rounds of idev far more then I do mixed. Once you hit round 4 of idev or so I start to see myself gravitate to the notable mixed matchups.

Not at all, delay is easy to beat, once you get the opponent's timing down.

PC has more movement, therefore has more tricks to learn. These movements mostly revolve around strafing. I never got used to strafing horizontally. If I started practicing it again, it would take some time.

I've seen someone like exalt use it a lot, probably the only person I ever see using it consistently. Not sure if anyone in alumni or blackout uses it that much.

I'm a PC sparrer who likes to strafe. There aren't many of us and in all honesty I think that strafing accounts for such few hits that it doesn't really even matter. Just gives me a nice movement option that helps me gauge out positioning of the other sparrer.

Again, im not good at facing delay on pc, should have generalized less.

In my statement I say which is easier to get the hang of, by no means did I mean master. Pc is easier to learn and become decent with. Decent in the sense of you could go and pk a tower and not get destroyed by a middle of the road guild, like House or Blood Drunk 2.

I agree with this, people generally have more control over pressing buttons vs. operating a touch screen. Your finger can easily slide off onto a different directional key than you intended to touch. There's something more decisive about pressing down a key.

Skill cap for PC is way higher too imo.

ya I was thinking about it and I don't wanna toot my own horn but I probably made the smartest guild decisions of anyone interested in winning GSTs/generally being around nice people

Shannon (winter) is another person that can strafe vertically and horizontally well, Look at me for example I like to be speedy and I only really use strafe when needed I prefer to be a lot more mobile. Shannon however likes to slow things down and stay close to the opponent and strafe all around them.

So Winter is Shannon, but was Shannon the same person that used account *weeway or something on client and went by Shannon or different person?
