Having wireless, my internet likes to spike up sometimes and start screwing around, to the point where I'll have Chakrah-like lag. I've tried sparring under these conditions and I was being wooped EVERY time. It's not cheating, because it doesn't give you an edge, it just gives you a different set of conditions to play under.
It's actually not that hard. One day my brother was torrenting on our wireless connection so my latency was really bad. I started to have relative ease when sparring people. Lag is the same way for both opponents, but in my honest opinion, the lagger has it easier. It would have to depend on download/upload speed however.

You guys say its unfair to Chakrah to restrict some event/spars he can play in, but how many people's fun has he ruined? Quite a lot. And he seems to admire it too.
