He retired as number one after beating MG and left Rp for almost 10 years. Once he came back he made it known that he would beat the best. Shane Walker, after having been gone for many years. Had come back to the lime light for a small amount of time while he was deployed. He trained very hard and faught many battles during this time. He then Decided to put his sites on the fastest fighter who ever lived, Prettz. At this time Prettz was an extremely fast fighter. But, Shane's experience in fighting was able to lead him to this victory. Shane went up against Prettz with a 5-3 victory, a weird coincidence that he went into having the same score ( 5-3 ) on his last top victor, MG. Later Shane came out of retirement to battle with Prettz a few moments later ( looool ) and lost to Prettz 5-3. But Shane's Walkers tale of experience and wisdom proves much. And he can guarantee that he can still defeat the best without much effort. He is still sharp, and is not shy to fight against the best. One thing Shane will always keep uppermost in his mind, TO BE THE BEST YOU HAVE TO BEAT THE BEST. Something he has done many times. He still longs for challenging fight he rarely gets to receive.

Anyone who comes on these boards to witness someone proclamating being capable of trifling Prettz in a fight just usually scoffs in disbelief. Eight years ago, it was more likely to beat Prettz, but nowadays, he's phenomenally ahead of everyone in every way in terms of speed. Stunningly enough.. (sarcasm, hint, hint) Prettz has no recollection of being beaten by you 5-3, if this were true, he more than likely handed the match away. There's no point in boasting a win over someone, unless you've beaten them consecutively with relative ease. Everyone can say they've beaten Prettz, because Prettz is just known to tossing away fights like no tomorrow. But no one around here can say wholeheartedly they're better than Prettz, especially when they hold 2 wins against him, in comparison to his 1,000 victories over them.
It reminds me of the Xat fighter mentality, when you miraculously lose to someone on there (virtually because the mechanics make a fight as chancy as a die-roll,) they think they're better than you all of a sudden. You could of beaten them twenty times in a row, and then they win once, SUDDENLY they're under this strict belief they've ascended you.
Tech-Two fighters didn't encounter this issue nearly as much, mostly because our styles were more skill intensive - rather than bent off of timing and what-not. But it happens, and all you can do is shake your head at those individuals.

Not ALL Xat fighters are like that. I've beaten you more than once in s10, and i don't care if you 'tried' or not, and after I did beat you at eden empire, I never did say I ascended over you in s10 or any speed prowess.

The greater margin of Xat fighters are like that. When they do get a win, their urge to fight suddenly dies off. It's like a hit&run scenario. They get a win, and then they cease the ability to fight, as though cancer had just stricken them.
I really don't mind losing in any Xat style, because the mechanics are a joke, and you're bound to lose at one point. If I lose in S10, that's fine as well, everyone on HORP knows I'm renown for having an unorthodox lacking in shorter styles.
I mean, without a doubt Lance is faster than most of the fighters there, and yet his loss streak is pretty big. Obviously it isn't a factor of him being inadequate, speed-wise, it's just the type of game you have to play that enables the slowest of fighters to have a solid chance at winning. It's a game of formula, not speed (of course it requires typing agility that rides borderline on being close to your opponent's at the very least.)
I mean to be fair, I've lost to a guy who took six seconds to type a connect in S10, which is insane if you ask me. Reason being for that is because I couldn't even tell if it was an attack or not, but by Xat's standards it was valid. It went along the lines of this "*he swings his blade forward while taking a step then*"
Now to my understanding, in any other speed-fighting universe that wouldn't be valid, but for Xat it is. ANYTHING in context that holds the very slightest possibility of being an attack can be considered legal by Xat's standards. Stunningly enough, my post prior to that could of consisted of me being behind him, yet him taking a single unclarified step with a thrust of his sword going forward (whereas I could be indefinitely nonexistent in that direction) I'd still be hit.
If we're being truthful here, a post like "a leg is shot to the jaw of man now" is exceptionally easier to interpret as an attack, because I mean.. I DON'T KNOW .. a leg moving to someone's jaw in what appears to obviously be a fight could only be referred to as a potential kick. Sure, it's not a pretty post (not that Tech-Two or Xat's mechanics were optimally designed for florid writing...) but it gets the point across. If you can't understand that's an attack, there's something impaired with your perceptive skills.
I'm definitely going to start coming back around Xat again for some fights, cause there's no where else to go. But I'd rather partake in fighting only, not the drama. And I'd rather not hear everyone say "oh yeah, i've totally gotten better" and talk the talk, and then not walk the walk. Just Yesterday I went on, and Kyo seemed 100% confident about how he's gotten better in speed-fighting. He said I should definitely return. So I asked him to humor me with posting and what-not, showing me his improvement in a style like S10...
So... after examining his post times, he consistently averaged at 6-7 seconds with each connect - which I don't know if anybody else in Xat is a timer wiz or gives two shits about this type of thing. But if you've been around Kyo for 1+ years, you'd know he hasn't gotten any better. He may seem more comfortable with himself, that's dandy and all, but there's been no progression ultimately (not speed-wise, durrrrrr.... )
Well, I may be rambling again, sorry about that. Just tired of the lame excuses, the gay rulings, the horrid fighters who wildly proclaim things that couldn't possibly be true; I don't know, just that type of stuff gets old to witness.

Reading Violet's post kinda makes me laugh. I remember that if you went against someone even resembling your skill level, the fight was never easy, not even a good 5-0. And t2 fighters skill was their speed/timing, tricking people. Where from what I can tell most people use 'magic' or preps a lot more often than we used to. Hand to hand was the most fun I've had in fights, bar none. Rt2A was the most fun style, however I was always better at t2/rt2. I miss competing at a high level, though the sad truth is I probably couldn't beat kids as easily/often as I did back then. Lack of practice and lots of MMO's, with weird chat interfaces kinda ruined my typing for chat rooms.

Where do you folks go to T2? I'm continually surprised that people still do this.

Let me make this painstakingly clear to you, Alex, and anyone else who is under the sad impression T2 exists: There is no T2. Even in the transition to Xat, T2 was not a style there, nor a potential one. T2 is never going to return, nor is Speed, it's simply gone.
If MG, or anyone else happens to tell you otherwise, they tend to flake on their proclamation of "Oh, maybe I will get things started again!" routine. Every redundant post they've made on here is evident of that. Also, Viper and MG are the same person, just a little secret which wasn't really much of a secret to begin with given their I.P. matches. Also, half of the trolls here are spawns of Kyo messing with the boards, the other fraction is goonies akin to Inunoku making further mockery of this place.
If you're looking for Speed-Fighting, it isn't a thing anymore. You're better off skipping along to the boring wait-time of Turnbasing other fellows, and abiding by silly mechanics and having your matches dictated by judges that circle-jerk one another.
