yea this game is fucking ridiculous online in a terrible way. it's virtually unplayable. people i play ssf4 with no problem, there is like a 1/2 second delay in this game (literally 1/2 second).

and that is IF we can even get into a room, there was a buncha funky stuff oging on online earlier.

i'm hoping this is early jitters cause if not wow I'm going to be pretty annoyed i have this. the game looks like it would have some nice potential too...

 

[shabby]

Damnit those fight sticks seems to be available for online orders only around here... and mine hasn't even shipped yet.

wow glad i held off on this one after the terrible experience i had with SC4 online play

 

[Kabob]

ah cool, i dont have android though

I'd assume it works in the iOS app store as well, but I'm not sure there.

Sounds like early Tekken 6 all over again. That beast was unplayable. It amazes me, it seems that developers simply cannot get the online experience in fighting games right, why is that? Look at your FPS/racing games and they are all blazingly quick, what's the difference?

sf4/ssf4, ssf2hdr, and mvc2 all have pretty solid online gaming. dunno wtf is up i really hope this is just earyl jitters that get fixed. i'm really hearing mixed things everywhere about this.

 

[Chacotako]

I'm seeing a huge variance in feedback. I really want to play this game, but I don't want to make the same mistake I made with MvC3.

If SF4 is one of the "solid" ones than may god have mercy on the bad ones. SF4 online was infuriatingly buggy and I eventually just gave up on it. I would be able to connect to maybe 1 out of every 5 players I tried to play with. Either connection issues or the match was closed. Plus the host/client system was a problem as it relied on people selecting the host option and waiting for an opponent, where it seems most just acted as clients and just tried to connect to hosts. So there was a throng of people wanting to play but all the hosts were already playing. terrible terrible system

i'm not talking about the interfaces or anything, i'm just talking about the lag/latency between the players once you get into matches. sf4 and ssf4 both have issues even c onnecting when trying to do ranked matches, but once you get into fights, for the most part it is pretty solid.

this is failing all over the place. it was hard for me to get into rooms w/ my friends while we were in party chat trying to do everything. then we both rebooted our 360's and signed back in and we could join a room together. we think it may have had something to do initially w/us entering the online pass codes and not signing out of live before trying, but who knows.

but once you actually get in a game and fight ... it is so delayed it isnt even playable. you literally cannot block shit on reaction.

The problem with fighting games is you have 1 frame windows to perform moves. That is 1/60th of a second on a 1 frame link in SF. Translating that to online net play is nearly impossible. In reality, all games online have this problem, it is just a lot less pronounced in FPSs and racing games. Unless you're still playing a twitch shooter like CS, a bit of input delay isn't a huge deal.

I can't believe they remade this game AGAIN. And people actually paid for it.

That's too bad. Was looking forward to it. I needed another competitive game for friends to play but it looks like we should skip this... Or at least hope for a patch.

 

[purbeast0]

ya i didn't get a chance to play lt last night but one of my friends said the lag got a bit better. hopefully i have some time tonight to play it some more.

 

[bl4ckfl4g]

Still on the fence. Probably a waste of money if I can't play online.

 

[purbeast0]

well it definitely got at least a little better online. was on last night and played like 20 random matches and while it was not up to ssf4 lag wise, it was close to mvc3. i'm still having trouble though connecting to my friend. i had to sign out of live and reboot mk in order to see the room he created. and this isn't a private room, its a public room. we haven't gotten a private match to work yet.

but man the MK community is bunch of a buncha salty sore losers. keep in mind i have played this game maybe like 30 mins total in a laggy environment against friends prior to this. my very first match i played last night online the guy ragequit after my x-ray animation started that would have killed him at the end of round 2. so first match i get a ragequit. after that i face 1 guy, beat him, he quits. 3rd guy i beat him one time he quits. finally 4th time i got a good player with good connection. he beat me first time but then i beat him 5x in a row and he left.

after that i couldn't play the same person more than 2x in a row, and I also had another ragequit.

why is it a ragequit if they quit after you beat them? Maybe they just didn't want to keep facing the same person...

 

[purbeast0]

they didn't ragequit after i beat them, they ragequit while they were losing before the match ended.

the people who are 1 and done aren't ragequitting, it is just a sign of how sad the community is. you play one match and lose and you are done? really? how the hell do you expect to get better if you don't even try to learn from your mistakes. and the game is 2 days old so it isn't like anyone is just totally destroying anyone right now. everyone is starting fresh.

 

[bl4ckfl4g]

I think I'll go ahead and get this and Portal 2 today. Toysrus is having a buy 1 get 1 half off deal for the next 2 days.

Do you get to finish them if the rage quit?

 

[purbeast0]

Do you get to finish them if the rage quit?

for the 2nd time ... a ragequit is when someone disconnects mid match. it disconnects both of you and the match ends right there. you are then sent back to the menus.

 

[0roo0roo]

yea fighting games are just too short to have rage quitting really matter.

 

[purbeast0]

was playing a lot last night online and had a great time, lag definitely got better but it still needs fixing. im over 100 games now online.

 

[smackababy]

SO how is the kompetitive nature of this game so far? I noticed watching a few streams (and Justin Wong picking him) Kung Lao is broken.

 

[Chrono]

Damn.. .bought this for ps3... was sort of hesitant.. but the more I played the more I liked it. I think they did a really good job on this MK. Totally feels like the mk2 but faster paced and love the whole tagging thing too. Thumbs up for me! Just playing through single player story mode right now.
