Yeah I agree with this. That's not to say I wouldnt be happy with a win over TopNotch or even you if you were rusty, but I'd know it doesnt automatically put me to the place it would have had I done it at the time. DaDDiO's last battle contained the wordplay media write/meteorite. While when he was battling at his best, he was almost unstoppable like Vs UA, shit like that isn't going to really put any of the big names in their place.

It's not just returning either. When I beat Askari in 2007, he was arguably at his best. But in that battle he was weak as fuck, so when I got the win it didn't really do too much for me. I got a lot more from being Pronto when he went hard or something like that.
