see, you admit to trying to keep that rank
rank doesn't mean squat, sooner you realise that, the better. once you start experimenting and getting down and dirty is where you start to have not only a lot of fun, but you really start learning. if you wanna get good, that's what you gotta do, stop caring about that silly little number, it doesn't do anything.
as long as your ego doesn't need that little number to tell yourself that you're good, then you're free to play and learn as you want. worry about your rank, you'll play timid, and you'll never learn squat.
instead of having that nice shiny number 1 telling you that you're 'the best', you can actually go out there and learn, and truly become the best player out there, not just some dweeb that exploits the game just to get that lil #1
i promise you rank means zero skillwise.
btw, one thing you personally need to work on is how you use your energy advantage. you usually come in with masses of alt and pick people off to get that high rank of yours. that's how i always kill you mate, i use your energy advantage to my advantage. it's so easy to make you overshoot , and then i drag your E down, or kill you with an instant reversal.
you can't learn everything in the DA. it's great for learning duelling techniques, specifically merges and throttle work, but in the MA you need to know how to use your energy. be smarter about the targets you pick, and don't be so hasty. try not to dive right in. you might also need to brush up on your energy tactics ACM's learn to pull a double immelman after you botch a BnZ attack. you usually go up, and i tempt you down, make you lose your E, then chew you up low speed, where you need far more practise.
serious suggestion, if you want to get better: forget about all ranks and stats for a tour or two, starting now. get down and dirty, film your fights, deliberately fight from a disadvantage. learn how to bleed another guy's E, how to reverse etc. do that for a tour or two, and you will know exactly how to counter these defensive moves when you go back to your BnZ stuff. that way you'll be even more assured of a good rank if you still really want to go for it, because you'll know how to counter the moves, and you'll have learned how to fight your way out of sticky situations, instead of running.
good luck man, seriously, look me up when you can and we can practise stuff in the TA (TA is so much better than the DA if you want to learn stuff). this is on the one condition that you STOP worrying about those silly numbers for a while!!!
