Etc etc.

I was talking about Praydoh's movements. I even told you the direction he was going. So I guess you really can't tell.

Sidehits are not simply "hits taken from the side" as the face-value of the term suggests.

You haven't done this, so how you can think you're some big guru on the subject is beyond me.

All I've been arguing is that strafing is necessary for good sparring. The only argument back is "you can win without it" which is like saying you can use the numpad to move around and win but you'll be at an obvious disadvantage, and no one good does that.

Sure, I'm ****y when it comes to sparring, what of it? I win a lot.
And I'll fix up my lag once I'm home. I got a new router recently which I think was most of my lag problem (I hope).
