how can you even play above 4 delay, shit's unplayable
It's playable. Ppl like to call it Melty Chess. Because, you know, you gotta think ahead.
IMO, there are two ways of looking at it.
1. I'm gonna lose since me is not used to that.
2. I'm gonna win cuz they is not used to that.
Anything else is just
Delay is delay... if you can play 4 (100ms) you should be able to play 7 (200ms) with some degree of effort (and patience). Who knows, having to actually use (more of?) your head while playing might miraculously improve your game. Now, if you're not willing to make that effort (and don't mind passing the chance of having some fun, at least), that's up to you.
I'll join just for the lols.
That's what I'm talking about!! Oh... I thought you meant lolis.
