No, they are not the same. I can pick or avoid opponents in GS, whereas in solo you don't have that option.

yeah, but it's the same exact thing required to be good at GS as is it in sparring
same exact thing required to be good at Sumo as it is in sparring
same exact thing required to be good at PKing as it is in sparring

just requires other factors like "must be on Graal 20 hours a day" (towering), "must be able to work with and against a team" (GSing)
other than that, it's all the same skillset

understanding hit detection, comfortable with movement, you know how to work with blink, you understand the forms of lag, etc.

that's why the best sparrers, who actually GS, are the best GSers right now

take the top 5 sparrers right now and put them against [quoteFingers]good GSers[/quoteFingers] and you'll see what I mean
would be something like me, Brett, Dante, Sarah, Prime vs. ?
RIP in peace

I understand the point that some are better at GSing because they care more, they choose to spar more defensively, they are more intelligent, etc.
some people are necessary to a GS team composition just because they bring certain things that make the overall team better
but from a skill vs. skill perspective, it's all the same

didn't mean to type up a novel  

This pretty much fits into the same puzzle.
Skill is what matters. There are other things, like knowing your opponents for example. But overall, you don't need to know your opponents if you are good enough.
Wins don't matter
Gs score doesn't matter
Losses don't matter
Ratio doesn't matter
Skill is all that matters in the end.

For a spar anyway, making a eye-candy profile? Need those wins and that good ratio!

Yea you do! Run around and w8 for the timer to go off. Avoid opponents in spar if ur a good runner.

Sarah and Prime were guild sparrers before they sparred, Sarah was a pker then a gser. I don't know much about PCers and their history but i know Sarah and prime originated in GS

Bob. one of the best counterstriker using the blink in single sparring. But it's not the same story in GS. Two guy jumps at you, no blink *** works.

what are you talking about bro, have you not seen me purposely trap myself in a corner in guildspar to appear vulnerable and then 1v3 the poor souls who think i'm trapped and at a disadvantage by abusing that blink hard? maybe he just doesn't know how to apply blink the right way.

being an active guildsparrer does not make anyone better than a "professional" sparrer who translates their skills to the guildspar arena, idk why this is an argument, you guys just really hate sparrers and want to pretend some losers who sit in the guildspar arena are actually better than us. go ahead and make a full team of the "best guildsparrers" (people who didn't originally spar) and they will not win the GST because they are not capable of competing with the sparrers, people who understand all functions of the game and can actually handle a game-closing 1v1.

Yeah people still fall for this for a couple different people, always great to watch it.

bob can use blink rn. the bob i was referring to was the bob from months ago when he only focused on sparring and gs for gst practice only. i threw that out there to give maxxi an example. someone whos good at gs, but not an active sparrer and the opposite.

in most cases sparrers can dominate almost everything in classic. it's like someone who workout vs normal peepz or steroids.

PCers //there was tag team, but not gs
