or, just use the same account you've used since the beginning. seriously, your spar record shouldn't bother you, you should look at it and then have a happy memory of your noob days or whatever. and nobody is going to harass you for having a bad spar record, i mean, i don't even do that to people and i harass everyone for no reason. and look at that kaios dude, he has over 13,000 wins and he's still not positive. he is still working hard at his original account trying to make it positive, why can't you? why do you care so much about your virtual statistics that you think you deserve a fresh start?

People with bad spar record, I see 'em getting denied to join a good GST and it's hard to call it a happy memory when u get judged first.
i think alts acc serves the purpose of acc reset for now.  

You shouldn't care about your spar stats. Just spar the toughest opponents and beat them or come close. People will notice you eventually. Some people have terrible stats and are really good. Some people have amazing stats, but selective sparred to get them so they are not at the skill their stats are. Bottom line, spar for fun not for stats.
BTW: if you boost to get reset, only your wins will get reset. Your losses will remain the same. So do you prefer 1000-2000 or 0-2000? Up to you.

and when was the last time you've seen someone on an alternate account, assuming a new identity winning a GST? resetting your spar stats to try to get people to think you're good is kind of dumb. i see people running around with 125-25 records or whatever, and "they're good at spar" is the last thing to go through my mind. i'm much more likely to think "this person obviously sucks and needed to get a fresh start to spar noobs and get a fake record." no good gst team is going to recruit these people. the leaders of the good guilds are not stupid, we know that your stats don't mean anything. i recruited tae to sage and he won a gst. at the time i recruited him, i don't even think he was 2-1. i recruited yurhomi, i believe the dude was negative at one point, or at least very close. now look at him.  

ITT: people caring a whole lot about what others care about while telling them what not to care about

there are good argument to why people should be able to reset their spar records, and I'd 100% support it if the act itself wouldn't affect sparring as a whole - I just personally think like it'd end up making sparring more "careful" and that's so boring to me
activity in the sparring community is really all there is to care about for me anymore

the people saying not to care about your statistics or whatever probably care as much or more than you, it's just hard for them to admit it
there's nothing wrong with you wanting to set statistical goals and challenges for yourself in the game and if that's what makes it fun for you then you should continue doing it  

this is ignorant and clearly in direct response to my quote, doesn't really deserve much of a response. i care so much about my statistics that i had a period where i ran around letting negative ratios take a win after i put them at 0.5.

just stick with your account. yurhomi was negative, now hes 30k-9k. if you make a new account, people will judge you harder than they judged your first account.

happy new year btw, staying festive.  

competitive sparer in training

From what I know is that Unless someone can defeat me in a fair match
they arent better than me

I hate when people get fake scores to think they are better than me and then get defeated so easily that i can be blindfolded

at some times....I wish stats where not a thing

with a spar reset option, all of you stat-obsessed losers would repeatedly reset your spars until you get a good ratio, then pretend you're good and annoy everyone including yourself, as people will harass you to spar them. if you really care that much about your win-loss ratio, just go and do what every other awful sparrer does: make a new account and wait 24 hours before getting a ridiculous record you don't deserve.

or, just use the same account you've used since the beginning. seriously, your spar record shouldn't bother you, you should look at it and then have a happy memory of your noob days or whatever. and nobody is going to harass you for having a bad spar record, i mean, i don't even do that to people and i harass everyone for no reason. and look at that kaios dude, he has over 13,000 wins and he's still not positive. he is still working hard at his original account trying to make it positive, why can't you? why do you care so much about your virtual statistics that you think you deserve a fresh start?

Because I have a 1000-4000 spar, and when I made a new account I couldn't even get a 2:1 ratio, so, I see no way of me getting to a positive spar from 1000-4000.  

That's like killing someone, getting arrested, and clearing your criminal record "because it wasn't clean enough"

No. It isn't anything like that. This is a video game.

just because your negative doesnt make you a criminal

The point he was making was that it can falsify someone's statistics. Think psychologically about what this would do do the spar community. If people were allowed to reset their spar record, those who would do so would do it because they're unhappy with their record, right? We can assume then that for the most part, the records being reset are negative, even, or barely positive. What happens next is why I don't support this idea. Once these same people reset their spar record, they have in mind that their only goal is to look "pro" and good at spar. They will most likely go to any sort of extreme to get a shiny, good looking record on their profile, including selective spar and boosting. I don't think anyone wants this sort of behavior to be common in the spar community. Now I'm not saying that this sort of behavior would come out of everyone, as I'm sure it wouldn't. But the large numbers that will exhibit this reaction, and the effect that would have, outweighs the somewhat more "legitimate" request for others that wouldn't abuse it as such.

true but Its still being done these days Without reset.  

Yeah, I think it'd be cool if they allow to reset your spar once only, since most people sparred while they sucked...

Those same people should just improve and keep their record, if nothing else to show progress.

Also, incoming 3 more pages now that it's bumped.
