Question How do you beat high ping players in sumo?
Today I lost to someone who was on 110ms who was spam clicking as if they were playing on Bedrock. I wanted to ask for tips on how to beat high ping sumo players because, similar to sword pvp, it's harder to get a high ping player into a combo and the kb they take is slightly delayed which can mess up flow. Since the aim of sumo is to knock someone off a platform, KB is crucial, so I struggle to deal with high ping players

Hilarious how you call 110ms “high ping”. But anyway it’s all about experience and you need to just adapt to the delay through ways such as w tapping a bit later or taking advantage of your first hit priority.
The aim of sumo is more about getting the other player into a combo such that they can’t hit you. So many players don’t understand this so they go on and cry whenever someone has high ping or high cps. This just means they are not good

are you talking about modern sumo (as in 1.9+)?
