I was wondering if this a coincidence or not. I've been sparring lately and I have noticed for the past two days all my spars have been flawed in that my opponent takes no damage. I have checked my wifi and even when I am right next to the router it happens. I spar at the complex, is anyone else experiencing this?

I was wondering if this a coincidence or not. I've been sparring lately and I have noticed for the past two days all my spars have been flawed in that my opponent takes no damage. I have checked my wifi and even when I am right next to the router it happens. I spar at the complex, is anyone else experiencing this?

it could be that they have bad connection, or they can dodge very well. Don't always trust your wi-fi you can have 4 bars and be next to the router and still lag  

This happened to me yesterday. Yes I would have lost anyway but my opponent was hit by three of my bullets and received no damage.  

Just means your opponent has hitlag or "eats bullets". Nothing really to do but tell them to fix their connection.  

It Wasn't just one person. This happened every match for two days.  

Bullets are clientside. On their client, they're dodging bullets. About 98% of the time, both computers don't produce the bullet at the same instance, and they don't always travel smoothly on both sides

This is due to lag; either via internet connection or fps(frames per second)-- I don't care how good your iPod, iPad, or computer is-- If your opponent comes as close to bullets as I do, they'll appear to be eating bullets on your client.

I personally don't even look at my opponent when I spar, I dodge bullets with my peripheral vision and move around as if I'm writing in cursive. My tunnel vision goes towards the top of the spar arena and doesn't leave.

If you're frequently experiencing "bullet eaters" that chomp down bullets more than 2 seconds late, chances are that the delay is on your end.

Remember: lag goes both ways in a 1 on 1 fight. They're dealing with the delay too. However, If somebody lags on the regular, chances are they've mastered their delay and know how to use it to their advantage.

Also remember, Delay doesn't change on the fly, unless they're modem tapping. Once you get one hit on somebody, you should be able to take their delay into consideration throughout the remainder of the fight.

The trick is to figure out your opponent's frames per second compared to yours.

Oh, and in case you're wondering:
Modem Tapping -

Spoiler

Intentionally impeding your internet connection. Example: I'm in a base, and I find myself put in a corner with three opponents keeping me in a corner by a constant mirage of bullets. I would pull my ethernet cord out(stopping their bullets on my client), walk to a vantage point, and plug it back in. I could chose to shoot during this period of lag, which would cause them to see a sudden wall of bullets appear when the server catches up with my output. They would see me teleport from point A to point B, unless they decided to melee me during my lag.
