Has anyone ever seen all 5 bars?

I figured this pic would be blurry just like the Bigfoot footage. :slight_smile:

And he wanted it with jelly

I saw 5bars today. I tried to join but i got the dreaded ā€œunable to playā€ message.

i finally seen a 5 bar today while doin tourney mode…i thought it was all a myth!!! lmao

NOTE: Capcom has LOWERED the bar requirements…that is why you are seeing 5 bars.

5 bars post 24th patch = 4 bars before the patch.

4 after = 3 before

And so on…

NOTHING IS FASTER, but you get to see more bars.

:bluu:

Why did they change that?! Just when I was about to post my epic picture of the TRUE 5 BARS!!!

There is no such thing as ā€œmy connection = five barsā€.

The bars represent PLAYER TO PLAYER PING TIME…that is why there are no bars shown until someone joins your lobby.

The bars are a representation of the time it takes a packet to go from the host, to the opponent, and back again…so its not YOUR CONNECTION, its representative of both of you.

You could have a connection directly to the fiber optic backbone for your whole region, pull 100Mbps up and down, and STILL only see three bars if the other guy’s conneciton is slow.

Remember: The bars represent the slowest point from you to your opponent, it doesn’t matter where the bottleneck is, only that it is present between you.

I’m getting like, one 5 bar connection every 50 matches or so in C mode, and i’ve never even had one in any other mode. I wonder why that is.

I’ve never received 5 bar connections until Championship Mode was released, and now I’m getting some in CE as well as a couple in Player Matches. I wonder if they changed something…

I saw it once, then I tried to play against him, but got the unable to play message, lol.

Sweet Gawd I have seen the 5

See 5 all the time.

I saw it once or twice this past weekend.

i usually have 5 bars … all my friends on my list says i have 5 bars all the time then sometimes it drops to 4

I get my fair share actually. I don’t know whether it’s because i live directly in the city or what, but i get them every 6-10 games or so.

Saw my first 5 bar yesterday. Immediately friended the guy on live. First and only one I’ve seen, but it does exist apparently :slight_smile:

Yeah. With my dude who lives 3 minutes away from me, we have 5 bars every time we play.

yes i do. but its like…
30% 3
30% 4
10% 5
30% 0-2

this is when i set up my xbox in the 707 area. when im in the 415, it’s a little better.

I saw my first 5 bar today.

yep, 3 times.
