How to deal with lag?

Why oh why are there no west coast servers…

I’ve been on it for 2 nights.

I started on kawaks 1.55 and saw more people on mame32k 0.64, so I got that. It is like a learning curve. As for control, when I play Kawaks/Mame on non-network mode, with my PS2 controller, it’s perfect as far as timing input. The games just feel so different in netplay. I can play XSF alone or against another person on my PC and I can pull off everything, but on netplay, I cant dash good, I cant catch people in their guaranteed punishment delay times, and I rarely get an aircombo off. And infinites are impossible. In SFA3, 2 into 1’s are like impossible.

I admit, part of it is not being practiced up. I just got on this, and haven’t played these games since they were new in arcades, and in SW Ohio, There has been NO arcades since 2001, and I don’t go to game parties too much, too much Halo 2 and Soul Calibur. Hahaa.

My lag isn’t as bad as the first day, but, especially XSF feels…odd. My ping is always 41 and 42. Located in Ohio.

edit:
to answer someones question

No, I dont play shit online. this is my first shit.

Why doesnt everyone from srk that plays kaillera switch to .61? Better delay = much better games right? I tried to get into kaillera with .64 but that shit is retarded even with low ass pings. I’m assuming most people here at least used to play a lot offline. Why not try to get the best online experience with 6.1? Fuck all the random scrubs using .64. They’re usually just some lag animals that think they’re good.

Is this really true that .61 lags noticably less than .64? If so, I’m all for the switch.
