Honestly, I've never understood the concept of having students in speed-fighting, or what I should say is: Why do people seek teachers so badly?
I can easily note that I've had a good deal of students, but most of them I wouldn't even classify as a real student. I wouldn't like to regard someone as an actual student if they've only bothered to learn fighting or whatever in only week's time. Most are so adamant on pushing to become tutored under me, but why? You're so insistent on making believe you're devoted, only to abandon tutelage in such a short period of time. Either because you're too destitute of stamina, confidence, or determination. Oh, and then there's the breed of people that're so bipolar about their interests, those are the best.
I'll be frank here, you don't need a teacher. There are lessons you can extract without needing specifically someone to teach you them. Let me make an example, I was never strictly taught by anyone initially. This is how I learned at first, someone posted a speed-fighting guide to me. Listing styles, and their mechanics.
. . . . . . . . . That's how I learned . . . . . . . . . . . . .
And I'd like to think I turned out fine. Of course my style was influenced by others over time, or by what seemingly prevailed as my most proficient talents in speed-fighting. But ultimately, it all came down to me reading a guide for Christ sakes. A GUIDE. I didn't require a teacher to pat me on the head or cop a feel to assure me I did a good job. My fights alone were the examination and analysis of my progression. To see if I'd learned or not, properly, or inappropriately.
I understand some enjoy the prospect of having a teacher because it can also generate some sort of roleplay instance in your head. And it's just fodder for your fantasies. But realistically it's not a necessity to get good.
I'll count off all the students I can remember, and elaborate on their failures or upsides. If they were even worthwhile. None of these are in any particular order pertaining to a point in time I trained them, might I add. It'll be unorganized.
1. Sadara Uchiha: Okay, let me just say this wasn't really intentional, and I didn't per se train him. I guess I did. But he was pushy about forming under my wing. I probably spouted the worst possible verbal attacks at him, I'm surprised he even comes online anymore. He was very persistent about training under me, and for the most part, he probably would of stayed as a great student if I weren't so cruel and harsh to him. He was inaccurate, reckless, had some partial speed, it's just he wasn't harnessing anything properly. And he had multiple pauses in his momentum. But, of course, he finally left, due to unknown reasons.
2. Sophia: Now, might I say most of my students are female, and simply because I find that they blossom of the best, and we're already overrun with male fighters: I figured evening the odds would be exciting, once upon a time ago. Sophia was the standard female speed-fighter, seeking to be flowery, florid with writing, and become victorious over their opponent with masterful word usage. As much as I enjoyed the way she was as a writer, she lacked motivation, and slacked off a good fold of the time. It was also destined that she couldn't get much faster, since she was one of those fighters that had to sit and think before they even attacked. Normally, most great fighters are based off of utilizing pure muscle memory. She vanished some time later on, due to unknown reasons.
3. Kai: This man was all the way back on Myspace, when I was in the midst of modifying PT2 and in turn creating the style known today as PSS20, which inevitably became a scare tactic used by the higher ups against the lesser grammatically experienced fighters, shamefully enough. He helped me in essence to proceed with making it. While he was also my student, my first EVER male student, he was fast, smart, and dedicated. We fought endlessly, and I can say he's one of the few truly loyal students I've ever had. He later on contracted some sort of illness, and disappeared from Myspace. To be honest, I think he passed away. But I'm just being presumptuous about that in regards to his unusual absence. I never got to hear back from him, sadly.
4. Kiabeth Kuraikaji & Violet Kuraikaji: These two girls I also trained back on Myspace, where I originally encountered them being bullied by Magus Zeal, and defended them. In their defense, they decided to pursue being trained under me. I did in fact train them, but this was at the point where Myspace was just about to be gone, the chatroom anyway. I was told Violet also known as Ian in real life had died. And Kiabeth decided to overall just forfeit her training.
5. Draoiheil: This one is my longest surviving student, and the last one I'll care to mention on this list. Her potential as one of the next greatest fighters is still apparent to me, but she lacks the ability to stay determined and driven to develop her prowess in fighting. Mostly due to her always being emotionally involved in something else, or overwhelmed with self-induced stress. She is the best out of this lot, but also the worst in the sense that her reluctance and negligence is seemingly endless. Mechanically talented as a fighter, but characteristically and emotionally flawed to carry out the task of one. My greatest disappointment.
I wanted to write this, because I don't believe in all my time on HORP, that I have ever witnessed a post talking about their students very much, rather than teachers.
