Freestyle is dead :(

Interested on others take here. All I know is that freestyle speed games are basically nonexistent now outside of 1v1. Otherwise, the only players that will join are low ranks who are horrible. Obviously a huge part of it is due to the horrible lag that has taken place over the past months causing higher players to stay away. Do y'all think there are others reasons outside of this or anything outside of fixing lag that may bring better players back to freestyle?

We need to unite as freestylers and bring back these games!

I don't have time for casual freestyle. The lag here is too bad for speed freestyle.

I'm plenty fast.... multi player speed fs games simply don't exist to any extent anymore... occasional flourish of 6 man doodles, but that's about it.. on the bright side, the lag seems less as of late.. still here and there, but not abysmal as it's been for the the last couple of months

Freestyle has been dead.

All of the new rules associated with the setting, killed the setting.

I feel as though its just the fact that a lot of good FSers don't play anymore or are online at different times. Now, if we could get a group going where we could areange games at certain times, we might be able to get more going and on bigger maps than doodle lol.

Of course that would take a lot of effort, so I doubt anyone wants to do this for an online game.

As far as lag goes, it's way better than what it was a week or so ago, gotta give them credit for that.

I'd be up for agreeing times where the regular FSers would check for speed games. I'm a work player, and UK time zoned so I'm guessing that 2pm-6pm UK time (9am-1pm EST) would work for me. Any takers?

See now I'm home at 1pm almost exactly from school this semester but most people work or go to school at these times :/

I'm too slow for speed freestyle, but I love the setting. It gets annoying when you lose game after game though, knowing you really are the inferior player.
With the playing field we have here, we have a few extraordinary and a few very good players, from which players like me will never win. That kinda takes away the incentive to play the setting.

These good players have different time zones and are not looking for a speed freestyle game every hour they log on. It'll be very hard to make them come together. At least, that's my thought on the matter.

I wish the freestylers the best of luck. I've had some amazing games with some extraordinary players.
