It’s not worth it to play on this piece of shit anymore.
It mustve gotten worse.
I left kal alone for about 2 weeks, i come back on today to find myself sitting with a variety of different games open and no one would join because i was playing on Excellent.
Someone would join into the game, id say "change to excellent"
they’d respond with "why?"
then leave the game and host it themselves, on Good.
What’s with people refusing to play on the best of connections and emulators?
So they can lag abuse. cause that’s all they can do.
I caved, so i changed alias’ and joined up and played on Good with .64.
got lag abused out cause i couldnt time counters or time a single move to shut down the most obvious of things.
Then i got kick banned from the server i was playing at, for losing. Because i said nothing at all, just played the game, got beat, got banned.
Wow, and I thought that was just me. I actually just started with Kaillera myself since i literally have nobody to play with here, but it increasingly seems as if it’s not worth it. I’d get better just by practicing my execution and watching match vids instead of trying to learn tactics by playing since 90% of the tactics used wouldn’t work at all offline. Something tells me I won’t be using Kaillera for much longer if this bullshit continues.
You lie! Offline and online are (almost) the same! Some guy played in a tourney with Ryan Hart and says so!
Ryu1999 won’t play me in ST, the bum. So I quit too. He keeps claiming he is in class or something. Wtf, even if it were true, why does that matter? It’s just class, what do you need it for?
Last time I was in the same situation as you, Slide, Viscant mentioned that he could hear me swearing all the way from his room. The guy flat out refused to switch to excellent. Personally, I think even on excellent it is too laggy, but atleast it’s not completely irredeamable on that connection setting. The annoying thing is when people on kaillera think they’re better than you because they’re winning. Lag apparently means nothing. Either does the amount of time spent playing the game. I haven’t really been playing anything for years now, so even games that I used to play a lot I can’t really do much in now. So I’ll play a few matches, and when something better opens up I’ll throw an inside joke like “you’re too good, I give up” and drop to play something else. Then these people will always talk shit in the room, although it doesn’t matter much in the overall scheme, it is a bit silly. I mean I don’t play these games, it’s not like I retain ability, how am I supposed to win in lag against someone that plays the game non-stop all the time on kaillera?
I think SF is impossible to play online, and I don’t think much of KOF anymore on kaillera either. I’ve been playing Garou a bit lately, it’s kinda fun, and JDs being harder to do kinda makes the game even better imo.
It’s unfortunate that a large majority of Kaillera players are stubborn, hard-headed or just plain stupid.
I cant blame you, though.
I’d say do like me and just find a close group to play with. That way you can play with people who you tolerate, play on decent connections and have a good time instead of having to deal with Kaillera fluff.
I feel ya dude. Someone was hosting a Garou game and his connection setting was Excellent, so I decided to switch to that, it really is better. Of course I’m forced to use Good because everyone else does.
I like your sarcasm, and your elitest attitude. Just cause you’ve been to lots of tournaments or whatever you think your so much better than anyone else on kaillera. You make it sound like your the only person any good on kaillera and that only your opinion matters.
The only difference between kaillera and offline play is the level of the players. 95% of kaillera players are probably only casual or semi hardcore.
If your game is lagging like hell instead of getting pissed off by it go play on a different server. And that “people only play on godweapon” excuse is no reason at all. Issue your challenge here, get some aims or msns of good players that are on shoryuken and kaillera and find more suitable servers to play on. Sure it takes alittle bit more hard work, but your gonna get better games.
Remember kaillera is just a casual place to meetup. Its all for fun, not everyone on there is trying to be the best player they can be.
on Excellent it was laggy too at times, but atleast my moves weren’t coming out .seconds later. THAT’S CRITICAL.
Even with all that though, GHOSTING was a big issue too.
Maybe it’s my fault for ending up in situations where i have to react and be strict with inputs.
Most people dont want to play on mame 61 for capcom. And it’s near impossible to get someone to play snk on may 3 .60. On a near empty or private server with LAN conn.
So I’m through. I just be wasting my time and stuff.
I’m just going to play on xbl now. I got halo/doa4/sfAE/pdz. Live is a much better internet service, i guess that’s how it should be since it’s not free.
Lag does suck terribly, I whole heartedly agree. Titch reflexes go right out the window (and that sucks for me), because once you’ve reacted to what you’re seeing it’s already too late. The lag pushes the game into a more cerebral state. Where you basically have to think ahead of your opponent.
I’ve played people online who have literally asked me after 15 matches or so if they’re playing the same guy, or if I gave my contoller to some “better” player. When the truth is, I learned their patterns, was better able to predict their attacks, and thus took the advantage. Because I knew when I needed to block early to compensate for the lag, etc.
And this is no easy feat, by any means. Hell I’m still trying to get better at it. I’m so used to playing offline and relying on my reflexes to get the better of people, that the transition to online is a difficult one. Especially when lag can range from a fraction of a second, to a couple seconds. that can easily determine whether a super comes out as expected or just doesn’t at all. I’ve had times I knew I inputted a super correctly, but it never came out. Turns out I was doing the movements too fast for online play. Once I started to slow down my joystick movements I noticed a total difference.
I wish you could ping limit individual games. So you don’t get 150+ pinger joining up when you have a 15, and you know the game is just gonna be off.
I don’t know how many people play offline at a high level but what was written right here isn’t something that should be done in addition to fast reflexes, it must be done with high reflexes. If you don’t have a solid mind game and a strong understanding of what an opponent is going to do before they even do it then you’ll never break through to a truly high level of play. When I’m on Kaillera, I make a lot of moves that people would consider random (and successful) but I make them because people (as a general rule, there are always exceptions) make the same movements in certain situations and thus you can counter them before they even know what’s hit them. It’s important that players take their game up a notch mentally if they ever plan to be successful in fighting games.
Believe it or not, but theres plenty of people who play fighting games just abit of light entertainment. It doesnt matter if there not that good, or even if have they don’t have any idea how to play. As long as they can find some fun from it they will play it. Beats playing the cpu.
