Quote from: Crazy on October 20, 2010, 01:10 PMbut in the end they would lose in a more serious competitive game against good ropers such as Volcom, Franz etc. So I don`t agree when you say people who roped good in warmers will always be better then people who rope good in Propers.
I was seen as one of the best ropers in warmers, now I know this looks like bragging, but theres a point to this...
I used to warm so much, that I didn't really have time for Propers, but I have beat all the best Propers, when I was at my peak, franz will tell you I beat him a few times, i've beat volcom also, we actually normally beat each other 50/50 cuz we were all that good lol, not all players who played warmers played Ropers, I was one of the few (that were at the top) who actually played Ropers enough to be good at them as well as warmers, most players who were exclusive to warmers more or less only done that, and when they did play Ropers, they just messed around until they fell they never took it serious, if they were to take it serious they would be flawless lol, but most of them told me that Ropers were boring to them, that is why I stand by my opinion that to me, warmers players were and always will be better than ANY Roper.
There was a huge debate about Volrin Vs Volcom at some point, now, honestly in propers I think they are EXACTLY as good as each other, they both never failed, these 2 against each other would honestly be 1st turn wins everytime.
The thing that made Volrin better for me, is cuz he was as good as Volcom at Propers and the most insane roper I had the pleasure of seeing in a warmer, Volcom never had the warmer appeal that Volrin had, this is the simple reason I preferred Volrin.
There was some story going around that Volrin stopped roping normally because he was left handed and got arthuritus or something, so he had to play cross-handed, and wasn't as good as he used to be but still one of the best even at that lol, he would only play "his best (normal)" sometimes because it hurt him very fast and I don't know if it was true, but there was a distinct difference in his roping to me.
Volrin was that good, even when I was at my best, I'd skip turns just to watch him again lol.
I actually remember now one of the reasons why I stopped roping and playing warmers - Maps - people started playing on (imo) stupid maps and it more or less changed the way most people roped, this was round about the time all the noobs were brainwashed by "fr" and they HAVE to learn it because to them taps mean everything in ropers, which is dumb imo, it kind of ruined it for me.
2 of my favourite Ropers of all time were BigC and Nimmer, they were so fun and cool to play with.
