Hello, and welcome to my new sparring thread for 2016. If you've ever viewed my thread from last year, you'd probably notice I don't spar that often in multiplayer. This is because I'm very selective when it comes to my sparring partners. Most of the time I'm either paired with some MAS fanatic who just stands there or someone who's worse than I am at sparring.

For this year, I'd like to improve on my movement fluidity and be more aware of where my sparring partner is so I don't ruin my own build up or their's + cause points of unnecessary contact & loss of momentum.

I'll put up my last spar from 2015 here for reference + add my most recent replay* w/ AlphaN00b to pick up where I left off. I've also been working a lot in singleplayer lately for some sparring prep and I think I'm finally in form for where I'd like to actually start actively spar again. Get hyped, yo.

I do take the time to read each and every comment, so any pieces of criticism will be greatly appreciated.

This might just be one of my best spars, yet.
Zeker and I both had to leave right be for the KO hit, but I think I'll just finish this later in singleplayer. Nonetheless, it was still a fun spar - and I'll upload the final KO hit once I get around to it.
I drew a lot of inspiration on the opener and kicks from Kiza, Marrez, and a couple other great sparrers after binge-watching their replays.

edit: I could have done a little bit more w/ Zeker's tori, but this is all I could have done to the best of my abilities.

Nice spar gentleman I like your spin kicks

Mr. Spinkicks is back.

See you again in 6 months.

It's all downhill from here.


Trying to back into sparring I guess - here's something even shorter than your expectations of me.

Want to hear a joke?
MAS.







Good thing I don't do MAS...
