I have never seen this kinda class and ability since I first stepped foot into xat 5 years ago.
Mikalo Makeveli is getting up there in his speed and the only thing that he needs to work on, is his consistency in his speed and stamina.
Kyo is another fighter that can beat me 1/3 times at the moment, his speed, ability, and footwork is amazing, never seen anything like this since Drifter. All he needs to do is better himself in when knowing to post.
Tensain is wayyy ahead of all the other fighters in terms of speed and accuracy, the only problem he has though is that he doesn't know his footwork, a.k.a knowing when to post.
Kamorisuki is in the exact middle of all this, he knows when to post, is fast and agile, just needs to refine his moments. For some reason he can beat the fuck out of Kyo, but not Mikalo or Tensain.
I have been training Mikalo in T2 to help with his bursts and getting some stamina, he has the most potential out of these fighters, at least from what I have seen. Though Kyo and Tensain hold the top bar of what Xat has to offer at the moment.
There are a few other fighters, but I haven't been fighting them consistently to know or gauge their ability. There is a resurgence of fighters at the moment, and summer will be upon us soon, so I would expect more people to be on.

I've said this countless times, and even Prettz could verify this for me. Xat fighters just can't realistically compare to the array of fighters we've had, in past, and even to some of our oldies that still linger. The simple fact Xat fighters grew up in an environment that lacks the practice of factoring in stamina (due to the 1-hit kill system), and being too hasteful. They don't know how to play for the long hall, and they ride on the smallest of technicalities in terms of logic to try and garner a win. Speed isn't even as huge of a factor there, if it was they'd all be stomped into the ground effortlessly.
When me and Prettz went there and stayed for like over a month, I took on every fighter that challenged me, and those I also challenged myself. The end result was virtually the same every time, out-speeding my opponent and encountering c/p'ing nobodies. Every time I fought a Xat person, I initially played defensively in anticipation of a c/p being a possible occurrence. When they finally shot out their one ridiculously high speed post I'd just blitz them, and they'd lose. My formula for fighting them worked the whole time, and they just can't adapt.
When I got them to fight in T2, their fighting prowess was even more of a laugh. I'm not attempting to insult them personally by any means, it's just the reality of things. The thing is, Lance, we can adapt to their style of fighting in a heart-beat, because it's easy. And our SHEER SPEED is enough to bum rush them to death, whereas they can't combat in our style because it's just so much more complex than their's. It's less friendly to new users, and that's a fact. We grew up taking the hard route in speed-fighting, and it has paid off when it comes to degrading down to what they fight in.
Going into retirement is like the best thing that's ever happened to me, by the way. I've forfeited basically zero speed, and I have become so much more of a calm and collective person. When me and Prettz engage in an ephemeral bout I can smack him so much easier now, because I'm so relaxed and this stuff means so much less to me now. Sometimes trying too hard will only end up in a distortion of your abilities.
Anyway, that's all I have to say for now.

Color fixed...hopefully this is a bit easier on the eyes.
