One question nobody brought up is how would you define the best sparrer?
There is somewhat of a difference between who wins the most, who is the hardest to beat, or who has the greatest technique etc.

Without naming any names, sometimes there are people I can have little success against when attempting my normal style, but then can enjoy a good amount of success against when trying a completely different style, sometimes even the conventional "noob rush" style.

Then ofcourse half of sparring is adjusting to lag pattern which varies from person to person, and can seem like both an advantage and a disadvantage.
Some times you can have a vicious triangle where one person keeps beating a second person, a third person keeps beating the first person, the second person keeps beating the third person etc.
