http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ZPFWEGFI  <- Unlagged

Im posting this to share jumping tricks and an idea on how to mara. If anyone is willing to share his mara's jumping skills with me or tips of mara, im open. Im willing to help someone with already decent mara skills to improve his ; teacher. I've never trained someone before but i think its time to. Find me on american servers or add me on MSN guillaume.laforme@hotmail.com.

You might want to check out that demo yourself.

You'll find it's not mara trickery but instead a very short clip of someone saying 'NOOBS'.

EDIT: I do actually have some trouble playing as well as mara in Unlagged (100 ping), comparing it to my ability without UL on euro servers (50 ping).

Here's an example of me playing with mara (Unlagged) recently.

Where do you perform best?

All i do is  constantly try to keep the head of the human in the centre of my screen and keep jumping and attacking. :advmarauder:

There's sort of a "technique" involved in developing your skills with mara. You want to get used to the movement so that you can set yourself up in battles, so as to effectively improve your accuracy, which is half the class. But it's necessary, at least if you want the most out of your mara, to keep your movement and accuracy in sync at all times. It's quite possible to get a "good" mara with good aim and only poor movement control, but you WILL get owned by good dancers if you don't know how to adapt your movements to those who can dodge well, so to be one of the best maras, you need to be damn good in both movement and accuracy.

This is very basic advice, maybe sometime I'll go into details. I'm not quite as dedicated to mara as Draik is though.
