POLL: When sparring...

[NeoJenova]

You should time your hits with your opponents swing. There is a point after a player swing where he is completely helpless and cannot evade your attack if you are able to find this time you are unbeatable.

Always swing to connect never swing hoping to connect.

But hey... How should I know... Press S lots.

Will do, skip

Anyway, i don't like sparring anyway, too much pressure. PKing -used- to be real fun, you'd all just be on one level, killing each other over and over and over again, because it was fun, not because you thought you had MADSKIZZL0RSONEONEONEONE.One.

Yeah, sparring now is all the pressure of the newbies judging you on your rate/abilities. Sparring in the days of '99 was best, everyone knew about the addition of rate and they really didn't care. Except the few who dedicated their onlinetime to get listed in the Top 50 on the site.

I use the "what are formations" formation

Well Tom Chill gave me sparring lessons a LONG time ago, so he taught me to do , I guess what you would call the C formation. But I modify it with a little bit of choppy arrow pressing, and then I go in for the hit. A thing I've found with sparring is that defensive sparring will get you nowhere, I used to to it all the time
