Is online laggy?

from what im reading, the lag experience is different on both sides. im on the ps3 and the online lag is terrible. altho i won my ranked matches. its not fun. at all.

Lag to me is when the game actually pauses or slows down, not input delay.

I’m beginning to think all the fg sites are going to have to define the term lag. Yes, pausing and slow down can be part of lag, but for the most part when people refer to lag they mean input delay. So anyone saying that they don’t have any lag while playing, most likely has no idea what they’re talking about, well because they’re actually lagging and don’t even know it!

Lag = input delay!!!

Anyone had issues with any particular characters? Although I don’t play him, I’ve noticed that even with Raven offline when he does his round off teleport through you the game gets a massive slow down. Happened on both xbox and ps3 as well at other pals houses.

too bad, another good beat em up, with fucking bad online mode.

I haven’t had much lag, but other people on my XBL list have complained.

Lag = slow down.

i’m glad we can disagree.

Hell fucking yeah it’s laggy. I’m lucky to catch juggles with Lili online that are money offline. Shit is super annoying.

Hope they fix it, won’t hold my breath though.

It’s happened to me and i’ve read it happening to others. You’d think it’d be the other way around with T5 version with the slow down and this being able to take it.

Same here. I only played 3 games online so far with Lili and it’s been a mixed bag.

One game, I wasn’t able to hit anything after u/f+3 and the other two were definitely better but not by much.

No shit. That was the case with CVS2 EO when it was the first online fighting game ever since like Xband. If you played on the rainy stage you were bound to have more lag than the training stage or other stages that didn’t have a bunch of random effects. When you are playing a game online the bandwith has to account for EVERYTHING going on in the game. Not just what you are doing. The people cheering you on in the background and the helicopters flying around all depend on your connection to run smoothly.

This is why some people have said using GGPO for 3d fighting games would probably be a bit more intensive. There’s a lot of shit that really doesn’t matter like shit flying around in the background that it must account for. Cuz there’s no way your attacks will come out right if the papers flying around and explosions in the background aren’t animating on cue. I would imagine playing on a stage like the tropical forest stage or the snow stage in Tekken 6 would be good for keeping unnecessary lag from entering the game. Since there’s very little “graphical showcase” in the backgrounds.

PS3 version i have only had one laggy match other than that its been great online expereince so far

It’s so shitty I want DR online netcode back.

Yea it’s funny how mad people get if they lose online I got a voice message saying something like fuck you for using Steve in this laggy shitty game and it’s just like man don’t play online if your gonna complain about losing and if you think the game is bad just don’t play it lol.

Recently, my experience has been a bit better on the PS3. I played someone with a yellow connection and there was zero lag. Granted I lost 5 of 6 matches (I don’t suck, I’m learning on the stick for the first time in the Tekken series) but fun nevertheless.

You forget the snow/water on the feet and the impact falling on the ground.

I’d agree it’s retarded online i just spam 1,1,1,1,1 then finally it jabs … nuff said horrible , HORRIBAD TERRIBLE ISH!

I’ve had about 20 fights online so far. **All **had input delay of varying degrees (example: lee’s uf+4 > punch string combos, most of the time didn’t connect). Only a handful of the matches were really terrible lag i.e jerkiness.

Overall, not as bad as I was lead to believe from all the online-hate I’ve read so far. IMO, certainly not as bad as SC4’s online, which was horrible (but then again, I played that on ps3).

Hit or miss so far but mainly a hit. The online is definitely better than DRO which was very unplayable. It may be better than SC4. I actually said this statement in another thread but I am saying again after playing online for a few more days. Then again I play player match for now. You tend to get the cheap ppl and lagg pullers in ranked matches. You’d be surprised, some people create lag to win a ranked matches.

online is fucking horrid
