Thanks to 4nonhumans, we now have a video to explain what ping is, how it effects minecraft, and more specifically, how it effects minecraft pvp.

The only thing wrong in the video: Reach Hacks don't exist.

From my research, it appears that reach hacks did indeed exist, but it was in Beta. Any clients at the time that had reach would just attack one block sooner, but deal no damage —just the knockback.

There are some hacked clients were you are able to change the values of your hit box for Force-field and Killaura. If you set the value to three, the client would attack an enemy three blocks away from you; if you had it set to six the client would attack an enemy from six blocks away from you.
However, MCGamer has No-cheat + and will most certainly kick anyone who can hit anyone within six blocks away making it one way or another not possible in MCGamer.

^ Pretty much took the words out of my mouth. The "Reach Hacks" that people speak of is usually just the reach thag comes with kill aura if you set your reach that high.

I'm pretty sure he's talking about Minecraft in general rather than just MCSG. I've seen reach hacks on other servers without the NCP that MCGamer has, so it is definitely an existing hack that still actually works.

Reach hacks definitely do exist. NoCheat, however, usually picks it up.
It seems that people hit you further away due to slight server delay, but 2.5 blocks is the max in survival.
