well I guess I'm different then most, when I know there is a good stick on opposite side I want to get into it with them, for there lies the way of uberness
fighting one that can own you over and over, maybe he will be kind enough to tell ya what can be improved in your game
About 5 years ago, I fought someone that is renown for being very good, 6 times I tried to kill him each time he handed me my arse, around 4 years later, I met up with him in the MA, I happen to have ALT on him but he has a couple friendlies with him, I killed him and his two buddies I was in a hurri2, so I head for home I look back and see a Hurri2 has rolled after me, I stay on my RTB route till he gets within 2k, we are at equal E-states, I do a shallow split S, and engage him, it was a good fight but he went down, it was same guy, one of the best days in AH for me.
Never back down from a fight NO matter who it is with, best way to improve your game
