Sparring is tacticly moving toward the player with enough evasion and 'juking' that you open up an area in which you can move in and hit the player. Now, since I'm this new Thallen guy, no one credits me with being a good sparrer, and many believe I 'hack'. If you don't have some kind of supercool name like "Shadow" or "Exodus", people probably won't view you as a good sparrer. Oh well, I'll keep winnin', and they'll keep cryin'.

Amen, thats why when people ask me how I spar, I say "I call my method the read your headless-chicken run and counter-strike it" basically saying
I see what little crock-crap formation they run, hit where they normally would mode to be safe, they get owned. Gg

I'm kind of 'teased' a lot. It seems a lot of Graal's sparrers are these hardcore kids, or so it seems, and they can't appreciate my switch from a bad player to a good player, so every bit of skill I have is now converted into excuses, such as "he hacks" or "he lags".
