Dragonosteel has a little shameless behaviour in the past

Pretty sure Aarian lagged. Stella's good but not that great. She's been playing Graal her entire life so she'd obviously have some skill.. but she's still not as great as the rest of the male oldbies.

They had this odd delay (maybe from being from NZ?) that made them somewhat hard to hit while they could hit you easily. The laggers apparently did have some skill in sparring but their lgag helped a ton. Not too legitimate.

Aarian doesn't lag for me.

I'd like to know of some 'top tier' sparrers that are 'legit' in how they spar, because in my opinion most of them are not.

Aarian lags a little bit but she spars with style. Stella used to be very good back when I remember her from Babylon, and she still is a good sparrer.

Most male Graalians are very experienced playing with their hands.

I agree, they always had some sort of lag or delay aiding them.
As for Bella and Meryl they are sisters and lived in NZ. They shared the same lag but were still decent sparrers nevertheless. IMO Ni Rain was the best female sparrer I ever saw but shes long gone.

What do you by mean "legit"?

I wonder how you know this, given that you'd get a chance to verify your guess only in rare circumstances, if ever.

While we're on the topic, are there any good crossgamers who are good at sparring?

Most girls don't care about gaming or aren't as competitive as guys.
Nowadays, girls just sit back n relax in TC and talk with people.

Yep. That's the biggest part of it.

It has nothing to do with how girls are psychologically. Watch two girls fight in real life and tell me they don't know anything about being vicious. Problem is, they don't always know how to apply that to games and stuff because they typically don't have as much practice. Like I said, find a girl who at least knows how to Hadouken, and she'll probably kick your ass if she's well-seasoned at fighting games.

Marvel_Meryl aka Meryl was one of the best sparrers.
Shuya aka Bella was on of the top sparrers.
They are both females.
