Rhound lets start with why do all the top glads keep stumbling on to decent private servers? Nobody cares
Rhound, everyone is abandoning tbf because more people are learning how easy it is to deal with. You say you've found better uses for it, but last time I fought you your ass was still getting recoiled with a simple jump and block. Yes, you're good...but I feel as though your dependency and fixation on tbf and being the fastest tbfer, is what stops you from being number one. And for the record, I don't know what the hell you're teaching your disciples, but perhaps you should start off with angles. I've fought two people who claim to be taught by you and all they do is spam tbf...no angles no nothing. All I had to do was walk forward and block in most cases and they got recoiled without fail.
once again, I'm not saying you're bad, your spot on the top glad will tell everyone otherwise, however I think even you could use some improvement, and that wont ever start if you keep fixating on tbf. You've already mastered it, why not find uses for other things like dbf, angles, maybe even your defense. I find the most challenging glads to be the ones that use dbf with perfect timing and well executed angles, not tbf...
and get rid of the egonobody likes to be told they're bad. People have a bad reaction to your advice because you give it to them in a condescending way O_O a simple "good fight" or just pure silence is better than snide commentary after every fight. I don't disagree with you trying to help people improve, I disagree with the way you go about doing so :/ of all top glads I've come to dislike, you're on the top of that list simply because of the said commentary. Most improvement comes from repetitive coaching, meaning just telling people how shit works isn't going to help as much as training with them daily in battle.
The last time I fought DOLPHINRIDER he beat me 20-0 in like 5 minutes...you know what he said? Good fight.
I imagine if you'd been in his place, you would have had something negative to say about every move I made.
you're good, but you're unpleasant to be around when you're an opponent. If you really do try helping people improve, then find a different way to do so...nobody is going to react well to a guy who drops them every round and then tells them their fighting style is weakand after years of running into you every month or so, I've come to the conclusion that you have good intent, but fail to do so when giving commentary.
Maybe I'm wrong about the tbf, perhaps if you continue exploring its flexibilities you'll find an impenetrable offense, but from what I've seen speed isn't as important as quality and precision. I'd love to go @ it with you in game, so long as you play nice you knowI don't mind being coached, but I can't stand receiving criticism in an unappealing way.
P.S: You shouldn't try so hard to prove who you are, either people believe you or they don't, either way does it really matter >_> I believe it because the name DivineGates...I can see that being a name you'd choose
