Djarvik is Going....

[Rob ITST]

He is way past his prime. His best playing times were in the beginning of the year.....at this point his confidence is not the same, his results are not there and there are much more new and good players now, that spank him on the regular basis.

At this point, everyone is better then Djarvik! His confidence at an all time low.


ps: His words, not mine.

[djarvik]

Well I feel djarvic you need to quit complaining about short slice and everything else that you don't like, but is within the itst rules. It can be countered as most things. Adapt there is a revolution of new players both on itst and world tour it's harder to break people. The entire level of playing on ts3 has gone up! On worldtour even though I can't stand people who slice inside baseline I like the challenge it helps me improve. So when I play itst rules you try short slice me and I will bury you with it. It's just like anything in life people who adapt best last longest. I.e when Venus and serena came out and dominated the womens circuit the women all had to raise there game to stay in contention. Which they did people who fail to addapt get lost in a mist. I take challenges from any and everyone because everyone has different styles, which helps my game I don't care if I don't like there style of play, it still benifits me in the end allowing me to be a complete player one day. I have a long way to go but I feel I'm getting stronger by the day. Especially playing greats like equits. So quit complaining and selecting players who only play 1 dimentional or ones you want to teach and your game will no longer stagnate. I only said that for the fact you played 1 game against me lost and said you never want to play me again. That's not how you become great. If the roles were reversed I would play you until i combat the problems you caused. But that's just me .All the best 09

ouch... fair enough the boy's got a point

[beltic caldy]

for me, this debate circles around the question of what kind of tennis people like to compete with.

for example, i played PCFITNESS a few nights ago - he demonstrated great skill with double-risking every serve return, and pretty much every other shot too - and won, quite comfortably - I was playing with a SIM char, which didn't help, but his victory was decisive, and deserved and his skill-levels are hugely impressive.

And it made me not want to play tennis anymore.

Why? Because I lost? Absolutely not - check my ITST record - I have waaaaaay more loses than wins - losing doesn't bother me to the extent that I don't want to play anymore - but playing an entire match that consists of Serve, Return of Serve and Winner/Mistake - ie 3 shot tennis just doesn't appeal to me. I think we had maybe 2, perhaps 3 'proper' rallies in the entire match. I'm not saying my preference is superior or better than the wham-bam-thank-you-mam people - it's only my preference. I LOVE matches that involve rallies of more than 3 or 4 combined strokes - setting up shots, defending then pouncing - REAL tennis, if you will.

djarvic is one of the types of players who seems to favour this, arguably more realistic form of ITST tennis - there are many other, named before - Baghdad K, Puttu, Didine etc - where the joy of winning is in the full playing of the game - not a series of fast, amazingly-timed double-risked winners.

just my two cents/thruppence - but I can lose a long-rallied, tactically played battle and walk away with a big grin, where the match lives with me for days or even weeks - or win a risk-blaster in 5 mins, walk away with a shrug, and have forgotten about it 10 mins later.

this debate will run as long as people play TS3, of that I have no doubt - it's simply preferential - my preferences are clear, and it's likewise clear that there is no absolute right or wrong way here - only preferences.


TS3 is an amazing achievement in console gaming, of that we're pretty much all agreed - how we choose to play the game is a little up to ourselves.

ho hum. as you were

[djarvik]

Well I feel djarvic you need to quit complaining about short slice and everything else that you don't like, but is within the itst rules.

I thought you new to the ITST, yet you make a statement like you know me a long time. And please do define "everything else". I hate when people do that: "this, and everything else...." give a me a list please.
I am very consistent with my complaints, they don't change, they are the same since day one.

It can be countered as most things.

Not interested. I love tennis, everything non tennis doesn't appeal me. I don't want to waste my time getting frustrated over it. I rather play someone else, there PLENTY, PLENTY of people in ITST who feel similar to me and try to play tennis, I rather play them.

Adapt there is a revolution of new players both on itst and world tour it's harder to break people. The entire level of playing on ts3 has gone up!

Again, aren't you new to the whole ITST/WT scene? Altho I agree about ITST level.....the WT is actually gone down. If you take away 3 decent players and another 3 cheerers that left there....rest are weak. (excluding ITST members)

On worldtour even though I can't stand people who slice inside baseline I like the challenge it helps me improve.

Now that I will never understand. As soon as I stop having fun on WT, I stop playing.....why would I keep playing? ...I have so many choices on ITST, why would I play WT cheeser? To get better at beating them? Not interested.

So when I play itst rules you try short slice me and I will bury you with it. It's just like anything in life people who adapt best last longest. I.e when Venus and serena came out and dominated the womens circuit the women all had to raise there game to stay in contention. Which they did people who fail to addapt get lost in a mist.

LOL you like 100's person on ITST who references Serena and 140mph inside slice return. Really? she does that? ....and ATP is full of 6'9 90 speed players too. LOL

I take challenges from any and everyone because everyone has different styles, which helps my game I don't care if I don't like there style of play, it still benifits me in the end allowing me to be a complete player one day. I have a long way to go but I feel I'm getting stronger by the day. Especially playing greats like equits.

If the roles were reversed I would play you until i combat the problems you caused. But that's just me .All the best 09

You not saying the full story here my friend

I said:

me: GG, but I never want to play you again
you: Why, what did I do?
me: Nothing you did. I just don't enjoy this type of tennis.
you: What do you mean?
me: A stacked 6'9 player with 90 speed and short slices and dancing on returns.
you: aahh lol ok I understand. What? Usain Bolt can't play tennis? lol

I played you in WT with my SIM, I am going with little expectations, more of a testing match...I do that a lot lately. So, yeah, I would like to win, everyone does, but I would like to enjoy the game as well. If I need a challenge, I will try to convince my wife to get another cat, that will do it. I actually did relatively well against your guy, with SIM, with all the hype of "The Specialist" coming.

I will complain, often - here you are absolutely right. But I try to have grounds for my complaints....If I don't, simply show me why.

BTW - I kept my word didn't I? ....have we played since?

[TomBs]

I want to play you Al. I desperately need a win...

[Puttu puttuu]

God Djarvik you love to argue man ... where do you get the energy ? anyway i can't complain it's always an entertaining read. By the way i mean that in a good way . You always seem to argue well ... my question is do you enjoy it ?

[djarvik]

God Djarvik you love to argue man ... where do you get the energy ? anyway i can't complain it's always an entertaining read. By the way i mean that in a good way . You always seem to argue well ... my question is do you enjoy it ?

got me! Love it really.

My English is not great, so a lot of times people misunderstand me. I always argue in good faith and really don't mean harm to anyone. I believe in argument most interesting ideas are born, people really start thinking when they argue.....well, some....there some that simply will start personal attacks.

Energy? Honestly, I just woke up and having my coffee During the day, unfortunately I have a lot of time.....my work is mainly project base and once I do the prep and launch, I am free for the rest of the week. That's why you see me posting here all day. I have come to love this community, so I try to help and try keep things entertaining on the forums.

I am a very easy going guy off-line

[Puttu puttuu]

mission accomplished !
nah your english is fine , you do get your points across very well. I admire that , i just back down , i don't like confrontation...
