My point is that someone can talk to a few people, get 16 names, put them up in an invitational spar, and many people will assume they are the best 16 (or very close, lets say 16 of the top 32), and that the winner of it is undisputedly the greatest sparrer. People form cliques of spar partners, have favourite servers of which they will experience a greater range of players, and have white whales which will affect thier judgement in choosing these 16. The people listed are probably in the upper few percent in terms of ability, but to say they are the 'best', is not always accurate. In reality, theres probably 100 or more players (and I'd err largely on the more side) who could have been on a list like this. At the end of the day, there very little variation between the top fighters, and its all gonna come down to who's having the luck on the day.
It's was more just an opinion I wanted to get across. As I said before, no disrespect to anyone in that list, they are all great sparrers.

You may not have come out and said you could beat these people but you were thinking it. I know, because i remember your last post when the WGFC was going on and that is exactly what you said. It is not unreasonable to say the majority of these people are the top 16. Active i meen. There arent THAT many people that play graal and a lot of the people on this list play multiple servers. When you subtract all the players that dont spar at all you dont have a whole lot left. The rest spend there time sparring in the main arenas on diff servers or in tourneys. So the people who spar the most on multiple servers could easily come up with a list like this. To say there is 100 more players that could be on this list is crazy...maybe 15 tops that would be worth adding or replacing. |
