top 5 ? prefer with a montage..
all the decent dstylers quit. No one learns dstyle because kstyle is just way more surperior and sg delays in this server is ****ed up. Most people who even consider themselves dstylers just suck and can barely yoyo. I consider myself the best but thats only because no one else actually dstyles.

Most dstyler that I saw plays garden 3/4 of the times and no them cw. So I guess Dstyle Legacy DEADDDDDDD.Fgunz still have some decent dstyler but not good enought to cw ...that all.Anti-Lead and OP items doent help ...but anyway
Used to be Fun cwing on Aikuchi back on ijji with Soul,Tuna,Metroid and IBOOM.
What's Dstyle means?
Oh well Counter Strike Style All Day ...(Hide,Spray, Flash Bang, Run,Heal,Hide more and Kill = Kick) !!! Style aint matter until you enjoy the dam game. Its 2015 god dammit !!!
did u play 1.6?
2 years ago ..so yea xd
he's ok. a little hot-headed and rushy, but he's ok.
He's just good period.
Not sure who Flower is, but Vit is a pretty beast. So is Pivv. (Wherever he might be)
Who?
I haven't seen Andre play in ages. Pretty smart dude tho. Dedicated DStyler, thats for sure.
1- I thought I was the only one thinking that Zefard was a little bit special XD
2-Vitalize he's a beast in garden only ....(My opinion) but that ***** can aim...I just found easier to kill Dstyler outside of garden :)
3- DDaggerDD is just decent (good)...Idk now but back on ijji nothing really special...
4-Best Dstyler of All times is Druko...used to rekt in duel and cw back on ijji...and he was better then hellsguards...Hells is more famous ,but for anyone that seen druko play vs hells ...Druko win with no doubt...still got some replay I think...but anyway ..
a few responses here based on outdated stuff.. ummm
top 5..
On fgunz, pretty sure theres barely 5 players that are dstylers. So.. whoever the 5 is, are the best here. But if we talking not just this server..
heres the top 5, not in any specific order (My memory bout gunz is fading, im forgetting some names)
1. Hellsguards
2. Flytermo I wanna say druko, but a lot of us surpassed him after his time. Flytermo at end game > Druko
3. I wanna say grimjow but yea idk
4. Me
5. iLiekDaggerz when he isnt playin lazy
well everyone above didnt play in a long time, vitalize is prob the best on the server atm in tdm at least idk how good he is on battle arena
shadowskullz uc'd.
annalovesyou vitalize zefard i think c_4 and whoever else prob the best now
Hellsguards > Druko
other "honorable mentions..
Klip, SwaggaDagger, k-onflict.. grimjow > k-on imo, "slap" is the gosu of dstyle btw, everyone that i played with in 2012 - 2013
Best Dstyler = Best Kstyler...Nothing more...Kstyle is the main style the only difference is the dagger machine flash stab or wtv and some other bla bla bla...other then that we Kstyler can yoyo , blink etc and there is nothing knew with dstyle since all those shimmer or what so ever ive been made and use by kstyler first...

and Hoto
Nebs
I'm probably the worst dstyler on the server, do I get a medal?
I know d style, ask yo momma.
Kappa.
im pretty decent ill say.
Never heard of you "Reddington" Fact that backwards agrees
with my top list is all i need, highly respected dstyler... You don't
even know, so ya, "newgen". Also if ur not rly a dstyler, ur opinion cant be valid. Kstyler that cant rly dstyle trying to comment on a top dstyle list. k. Also, its 2015.
also, sinbad is good!
Does EAting still play?
dagz is the best dstyler agreed.
idk how this is a thread, max was only good dstylere there was on ijji and the first one tbh, the following came after he schooled all of them at tg
I vaguely remember a time where I was mentioned on these lists.
i'm not gonna comment on todays metagame because i stopped caring after the transition to anti-lead but i've seen tons of people like you back on ijji. k-stylers who can aim decently pick up dagger and think they're hot shit because they can win some duels by blinkstepping left and right and pbing. people like you were all over the place in clans like Aikuchi.
the fact of the matter is that your style of fake d-style is utterly irrelevant outside of hall duel because it gets you rocked in tdm and doesn't count for shit against a competent k-styler. the entire reason fast and technical d-stylers were more respected than k-style randoms with aim is because we were trying to push the d-style metagame to compete at top level against the best players.
like Seb said earlier in the thread, Hellsguards was the only truly great d-styler because he was the only one to combine the new meta with great aim consistently. most of the other top d-stylers either had impeccable aim but weak movement or amazing movement but inconsistent aim.
as for d-stylers today i won't even comment because anti-lead has ruined the potential for top level d-style. daggers can only be a novelty weapon now.
We are looking at the best D-styler within the current meta which consists of pure aim with little need to take movement into consideration. Both K style and D style in the meta concentrate around aim. We make assumptions about who the best D styler is when someone can pick up a dagger and use basic D style moves like Blink and Yo-yo and still win games over someone who knows every d style move.
How do we determine the best d styler when the current meta consists of aim. Just like backwards said anti lead has ruined top level d stylers potential which makes it hard for us to come to a conclusion about who the best d styler is currently.
In a fight between two D stylers who know all moves how do we come to a conclusion to who the best D styler is if one performs a blink shimmer and the other performs a yo-yo. Both of these moves are useful, however what would determine which one of them are better? we can't just by looking at who won because the person who got the most shots out with the better aim would clearly win.
For now until lead comes back competitive play between top tier D stylers come to a stand still.

hey hey, anti-lead diminished the top levels of k-style too ya know!
=)
d-style was heavily reliant on ground-based evasion and melee range traps/aggressive stab approaches; these two aspects were the only places where daggers had a real advantage against katanas. both of these things got a heavy indirect nerf from anti-lead. straight-forward evasion basically can't work anymore because you no longer need to read the opponent's movement to hit them, while creating and maintaining melee pressure is much more difficult because it's so easy for the opponent to PB you multiple times when you try to get close.
meanwhile, blocking has become a much more important tool for avoiding damage and it's basically preserved k-style's potential for melee even with antilead. furthermore, k-style air movement is perfectly suited for the anti-lead metagame where positioning and cover have become much more important than just moving fast. the skill cap has certainly lowered but the change hasn't necessarily hurt k-style, it merely sidegraded it and made it more boring.
tl;dr: d-style has lost all of its advantages due to evasion in general being nerfed. d-style is just a redundant fashion statement now and there's no longer a reason to use a dagger.
Indeed D-style was heavily based around evasion. Due to anti lead k stylers can keep those aerials up so we don't have that melee pressure anymore whilst still getting easy pb's on us. With anti lead we need to be able to at least keep those d machines up when possible but even then its way to easy for pbs to the face also because of the advantage of k style aerial we cant use much melee.
Due to the flaws on d style like delays before firing your gun after a shimmer, delay before you can move or shoot after an aerial, Performing a slingshot and wider hit boxes on blink and yo-yo etc. Those delays make it even harder on anti lead because we cant get our shots out as much as k stylers can + with no evasion we are taking free shots whilst giving out no shots. The blink and yo-yo hit boxes are an obvious flaw in anti lead making it way too easy for us to get hit. The flaws that were already in D-style became even more of a problem within anti lead.
Taking all the flaws that we already had in D style into consideration on top of the extra flaws anti lead gives us makes competitive play for d stylers kinda useless.
K style however hasn't really been put at a disadvantage just like backwards said they still have all the utilities they need to fight and make the plays that need to.
well i dont understand a thing about D-style
To add onto this new topic: it is because styles and their efficiency are relative. K-style was always popular for being more versatile, and anti-lead emphasized that versatility (e.g. being able to shoot while evading + moving in air). On a different note, E-style arguably improved with anti-lead. So, there are naturally pros and cons across the board. I do agree as I said before that d-style has gotten a lot weaker on anti-lead. There is very little benefit to "poking" now...for how costly it can be to try. A similar thing can be said for those that like to melee with swords although because of k-style's versatility it can be worked around a little.

5.vitalize
LOL :p . To me, what affects dstyle here more than anti lead is the low shotgun delays. Even when we evade, missing a shot is more forgiving because theres less delays after a reload shot and you can just shoot again right away. We all know reload shot is two fast shots and then a delay before you can shoot again. But now, that delay doesnt exist. So what is hurting the most is moving in closer for dstyle and kstyle. Usually we could shoot twice and if we are getting rushed, sometimes there would not be enough time to shoot again and kstylers would switch to sword and block, remember that lol, and dstylers would switch to dagger and float step away or something. Now, you can just switch to other gun, walk backwards a but and shoot again, because the delay for a third shot is so short that switching to sword to defend from an incoming butterfly takes up more time than just switching to gun and shoot again or is just not worth it. So moving in to dmachine, even if u evade the rs and reach them, having that delay removed after rs, you are STILL not safe from getting pb'd, STILL!. 850 delay just changed the balance between melee and shooting on fgunz and i dont wanna play gunz even more unbalanced. I wish there was a room tag for vanilla gunz gameplay. id play fgunz everyday then, when i get a pc lol.
So with anti-lead reducing the play possible for d-stylers in normal rooms, should the discussion center more on the good dagger gladiators?
The sad truth about dagger glad is that even the best dagger gladiators were only a match for free channel battle arena randoms. I have never seen a dagger user not get stomped by a legit gladiator. I tried to push dagger glad myself and it seems hopeless.
I could be wrong- I mean I've heard legends about amazing dagger glads before- but whenever I encounter them myself they're usually not what they're hyped up to be.
e: @andre yeah there is some weird stuff going on with delays on this and other servers but I was just talking about anti-lead in general.
I've been getting some decent results out of it when I play. It's less about using the fancier moves and more about observing how your opponent performs to outplay him/her. You can do a lot with block tap, magician evade, dagger train, and backwards elunge. Anything else is pretty much just extra.
Some fights I've won are due to noticing that some people have low turn speed(touchpad/low DPI), others I've won due to exploiting their need to massive every time they get it, and others have been won by exploiting the unstable terrain around the map.
It does seem more rare than D-stylers in normal maps, though.
Are the players on this server actually serious gladiators though? There is an immense skill gap between a random guy in a glad room and the average gladiator, and an even bigger one between average glads and strong ones. I used to think I was good at glad because I went positive in battle arena rooms, but when I played a strong player for the first time I was decimated so badly I just went back to gunning and never looked back.
I'm not really trying to downplay you here- for all I know you're some godlike gladder and I'm just ignorant- but based on my own experience the level of technique in glad is too high to overcome with dagger's limited strengths and major weaknesses.
We have a few people on this server who pretty much only do glad rooms. It is definitely an uphill battle, but I've still done decently in glad rooms against some very good k-stylers. The potential to do well and prove skill is there.
I am by no means godlike at this game, though. I've been called good in the past, but that was purely due to tactical skill rather than skill with any of the difficult moves.
