The netcode is really bad. It doesn't use the delay system, instead it uses some kind of rollback which means teleporting and some other issues when ping is just a BIT high, something that completely kills any online community (heck, I can't even get a proper online match against someone from France WTF). IDK where you read that since I don't visit the SRK forums (although I have an account there), but after finding that issue I searched and all I found was people complaining about that and Capcom saying that they won't fix it. This is the first game where I have serious problems while playing online since Brawl. In AE I don't have any kind of problem even with non-European guys with 2 bars, sometimes some little lag, but that's all, and in other online games like Killing Floor or even the mobile version of SFxT I have no issues either, at least vs European people there. Here I'm seeing people teleporting randomly even against European people with 3 fu***ng bars. About the settings, I checked everything. No torrents being downloaded, no games from Steam being downloaded (the Steam client pauses them after launching a game anyway). And I tried playing online with some options in graphics turned on or off, without any results. Try their forums or just write a 1 star review in iTunes. They closed the mobile games site, so IDK if there's another way to submit bugs. Anyway, if it's something like the game crashing for time to time and things like that I'm telling you they won't fix them, because both Volt and SFxT had this kind of bugs since the beginning and of course they weren't fixed.
Rollback is a better netcode because it doesn't have variable delay on your inputs, but you have to set it right or it'll suck. Google the optimal setting for that game's netcode for your connection. Once you get it set right you'll be good to go for cheap and you'll see the difference.
I'll see what I can find. Thanks for that. You don't know how annoying the online is right now. Just imagine a character with a fast jump like Juri jumping in and using the sweep and you can't even see it coming. EDIT: I found something that may be useful here. I hope it works. EDIT 2: still having the same issues although now the benchmark is WAY more than 60. This game is BS.
Well, I have taken the get-cho-stuffing-beat-outta-you via Tenonez, and now I'm a real TA member :3 Actually playing vs. runaway Akuma is impossible for me unless I use Yun or Viper. Not that my Yun is any good, but they really don't realize that even the strange mp/hp rush punch hybrid runs under air fireball and they don't seem to learn. And of course, Viper's landmine style Seismos are really hard to deal with. Nothing quite as satisfying as that horrible teleport chasedown via EX tk, though, and I"m a horrible person for playing like that (though if you're playing runaway Akuma, you probably deserve it). @Docta: viper4lyfe. the blockstring's seismo sjc ex seismo, seismo sjc seismo's a frametrap that's beaten out by teleport towards or ultra via Abel/akuma, or even some of the shotos, which is a horrible way to die. The idea is a 7-10 hit chip/block string -> seismo sjc ex seismo sjc seismo sjc ex seismo sjc seismo sjc ex seismo etc. I think @full stick of butter, you build enough meter to hit 10 seismos actually, if your timing's tight that's like 200 dmg, if not, then usually it becomes some kind of frametrap, which is nice but really risky online for obvious reasons.
I always though that Yun was the most balanced char in the game, maybe even more than Fei. Sure, no FADC on SRK (although IMO every SRK should work that way, I just don't like seeing people mashing a move with high priority and many invincible frames just because a FADC doesn't only make it safe but allows that player to start pressure, something that's not fair at all, but well, that's just me) and no fireballs, but he has tools for anything, from a AA that juggles to a dive kick, a special move that goes under fireballs and some high attacks on startup (shoulder), frame traps, a move that goes over lows, an attack that has A LOT of active frames (palm, although it acts like a fireball), a command grab, some resets, a very powerful Super, many combos into Ultra and some more things, yet he isn't as annoying as boring chars like Sagat, and he's as funny as Makoto.
Had someone RQ on me after I got his main on random select and perfected him R1. Still makes me smile after all this time.
Wow, I'm surprised by this dedication. While I'm beating some guy, between matches, he sends me hatemail from his other account.
GGs Shane, I think you're even better now. The ending to that fourth match in our second set was hilarious. Our invincibility frames went right through each other and we ended up flying to opposite sides of the screen. I saved the replay. :>
I'm better?! Sh!t!! You've gotten better and I didn't think that was possible! Resets and cross ups galore! I had to take a break after the second set, you were pissing me off You are still the top vega! Ggs! Oh and I think in that one match you saved I was trying to do an up ball for the win but I was too early (if I remember right).
Man, it's been a while since I've needed to vent like this. Just played two matches with ryu against an ok gief player, it was close but he beat me twice. He leaves and sends me a troll message so I reply and say "Dude, I'm not a ryu player. If you want to play my main, invite me." And he does. The next match ends as close as it possibly could, we're both at 5%, and our moves trade and it kills me and leaves him with 1%. He leaves and sends another troll message, gloating. My reply was "seriously, only one match?" I send him another invite and he doesn't answer it. That shit gets to me, when a player thinks they're hot shit when they haven't even proven anything. I could lose ten in a row and I'll be fine, but beat me once and then leave thinking you're better than me, and I'll be pissed. The worst part is, he KNOWS that would piss me off, that's why he did it, and it worked. This guy disrespected me and I'm salty as shit. I don't like it when trolls win, you guys. I don't like it at all.
Forget about that and move on. There are lots of guys like that one in every online game. If someone sends you a hatemail or whatever, just laugh and post it somewhere. Don't even answer nor invite that guy to a match.
