CvS2 to be released next week on PSN (No online and STILL with input lag)

YariX0083 · 2013-09-18T16:51:48.000Z

No good for my scene. People won’t stop playing AE/Marvel. I’ve just been practicing CvS2 and grinding it out on SFxTK online. =/

That’s a drag. It’s tough to overcome the sheep mentality these days.

Should we have expected much of a “revival” out of this anyway? Like I stated before, I’d rather play CvS2 on Dreamcast than a non-optimized port with noticeable input delay.

Mr.Warzard:

How’s the revival going? If you look at twitter, people are playing cvs2, but it hasn’t really translated into having more events, at least not in our area. How’s it everywhere else?

why would there be more events or anything different? dat laggy psn release didn’t make any difference lol…

Mr.Warzard · 2013-09-21T04:04:04.000Z

I wouldn’t go so far as to expect a full-on revival, but having an adequate port of the game on a modern console does lower the barrier of entry. If people want to play/learn the game, there’s really no excuse now.

If you optimize your settings like Nick T. described, and you aren’t playing on a laggy-ass HDTV, this port is fine. Why wouldn’t you bring this to local events?

If you can bring your DC/ps2 and have enough sticks, that is better, but lack of those things was one of the most common excuses as to why ppl stopped playing.

How do the console ports all compare to each other? I assume Dreamcast is basically perfect, right? How are PS2 and PS3 comparatively to each other and to Dreamcast? Is PS2 close to perfect? Is PS3 definitely worse than PS2?

Jion_Wansu · 2013-09-23T10:33:48.000Z

I hope everyone kept their CVS2 copy and still have a working PS2 or DC…

Mr.Warzard · 2013-09-24T00:06:52.000Z

DC=PS2 > PS3 >> XBox > Gamecube as far as ports are concerned

SesshaZL · 2013-09-24T04:58:02.000Z

I like DC better than ps2 personally, the couple of times I’ve got to play on cvs2 cab it felt closer to dc…

but I have heard that there is difference even from cab to cab

platinum_pinoy · 2013-09-29T17:50:31.000Z

Does this game still have lag? That’s one hell of a shame if it does.

SNAAAAKE · 2013-10-18T05:07:00.000Z

^ of course ps3 version does. but its playable.

I also like dc version best.

Zensouken · 2013-11-04T22:03:17.000Z

I went to boot this up the other day and my MC Ctulhu’s were giving trouble with it. All the buttons work fine but the joystick response is stuttering and the PS button doesn’t respond. Wondering if anyone else has come across an issue in the same fashion. So far it’s just with CvS2’s PSN release and the Cthulhu.

YariX0083 · 2013-11-06T19:57:52.000Z

I had that issue too. It worked fine before though my PS button never worked, but my stick would only take inputs 1F at a time. Dunno what the issue is.

Zensouken · 2013-11-06T21:26:19.000Z

@YariX0083 so for you there was a time whereas you were using a Cthulhu with CvS2 on PSN and it worked fine but then at some point it started acted funny like mine? I wonder if there was a CvS2 update that screwed with it?

Nick_T · 2013-11-07T01:38:30.000Z

It’s a firmware issue. The latest ps3 update caused PS3 non-pad accessories to work with PS2 classics.

Nephinel · 2013-11-09T02:07:15.000Z

I probably came across as pessimistic and cynical in my last post, so sorry.

Maybe a full-on revival would be too much to ask for, but how do we go about putting CvS2 out there for the current generation of fighting games to get some new blood into CvS2? Can’t just let the old-heads have all the fun and we can’t really put any hope into Capcom or SNK-Playmore going for another CvS game. Not much stock for a proper re-release either.

Mr.Warzard · 2013-11-09T05:39:07.000Z

Only way I can see is just to get some heads together and play the game. I’m hopeful next year’s CEO will be a good tournament, but expecting some miracle from above ain’t gonna get it done. Get the game played at your local gathering and take it from there.

YariX0083 · 2013-11-09T08:21:59.000Z

The CEO tourney next week is featuring it too.

Zensouken · 2013-11-10T05:14:52.000Z

Are any of you folks with PS360+ or any other PCB aside from the MC Cthulhu able to play CvS2 PSN effectively?
