Hey man, I’ll leave this be. You’re probably better than me. And if online seems perfectly good to you more power to you. Personally I notice a lot of issues, but maybe I’m just overreacting.
alright dude. have a good one.
If you dash and they super, if you can block at all, you’ll have plenty of time to input the block during the super flash, lag or not. Not really sure why that would be an issue. You just need to dash more safely.
you only notice it lagging when YOU are doing something because you’re frustrated
do you really think that many people are out there making devices to lag you when you play?
this game is such ass online. find some friends or a scene to play with and forget that it even exists. if you lose in mvc3 its because of one reason: you didnt block. a game with such quick mixups needs precise inputs for blocking; its negligible in sf4 because you can sorta picture whats going on and block accordingly because its so slow. in marvel, if you dont blok at teleport that you saw coming 5 seconds before it happened, and it still hit you, you’re dead. where is the fun in that?
at first i was a little frustated at the lag because frankly, it sucks to lose to shit like dark pheonix when you try and snap that bitch in over and over and over but cant because characters fall out of combos really easy with input lag
take all that shit in stride. i rarely play online unless im really bored or want to practice a new team against a real person. don’t get upset or blame things like “lag switches” for the nature of playing marvel online. you get what you’d expect - a shitty experience
stick to training mode and play with real people
I played against one last weekend and I was so pissed. I wanted to quit the match but couldn’t since it was wireless. If it was at home, I would have disconnected the connection from the router end b/c my gaming is on my PC monitor.
@foger: lag switchers exist.
I’ll just leave this here.
On a related note I don’t notice lag hackers so much as I do people who know what to do in lag. Im sitting there trying to do simple BnB and it doesnt come out, but here comes laggy mclaggerson pulling off some pretty cool shit. Then i played someone offlline (finally) and OH MAN what a difference. For Live there is an option to report people, PSN i think there is too. Just report em and be done with it, but dont expect anything to be done. Lag switching is hard to prove unless some sort of mod literally goes in game and challenges the supposed hacker.
Lag switching isn’t a “hack” and convenient lag is impossible to discern from a lag switch. Literally nothing will ever be done.
- Keep Sentinel on your team.
- Save meter.
- Wait for lag.
- DHC/Raw Tag/ Crossover Combination/ Crossover Attack in Sentinel.
- Hyper Sentinel Force.
- Spit.
- Downback.
- S or c. B on reaction.
- Go back to step five.
- Repeat step eight until match is over.
- ???
- YOU WIN!
If they lag switch, is pretty much all you need to win against someone bad enough to lag switch in the first place. Alternatively, you could stop crying but as that doesn’t seem to be much of an option, go for it.
I feel your pain. Every time I do a any region and rank search (often times I don’t get any games with same region search), this happens with about 90% of the 6th Lord or higher rankings I face. In fact its so bad that I now know gamer tags of regular lag switchers lol. When this happens, I either practice blocking and run away or if I get really pissed, I just put down my controller. If a player match win means that much to some one then just let them have it and move on.
The hilarious part is that they have the audacity to ask for a rematch. Some of them can land crazy ass combos but have zero clue on opening up an opponent or blocking/avoiding mix-ups. Seriously, some of these people under illusions that they are actually good.
In a player match, this one guy lagged switched his way to a win and when I left messaged me saying that he will pick characters he doesn’t play if I rematch him.
Edit: Shoutouts to all the wolvie/wesker/dante players with lag switchers, you guys really bring the competition on xbl.
You are spot on, net code technology has a ways to go before people can start taking online tourneys seriously. I played SC2 pretty hardcore for about one year and it is a rare example of a game where online can work. The skill gap in that game is so vast that lag during microing in a battle is almost never a deciding factor in a win and a better player can almost always recover from something of that sort.
Magneto’s EM Disruptor goes from a GDLK move to a broken ass wtf do I do against this shit move in lag.
I doubt most people you feel are lag switchers actually are. The fact is the game has extra data to transmit during a combo, keeping track of assist status hit stun deterioration combo meter etc. I’ve had several matches where if I start a combo it lags I’ve also had matches where my opponent starts a combo and it lags on him. I’m not sure why it is worse during combo’s rather than a like double doom assist situation.
I would recommend you pick danger room when possible since it has the least amount of input data, if you are playing a trish/doom mirror the game can have slight lag (1-3 frames) on the fancier stages even offline. Some things are frustrating like when I can’t super jump between projectiles because input lag is making me switch from down to up to soon, but I’ve never thought my opponent was purposefully causing lag to try and beat me.
This thread isn’t closed yet?
99% of the people you are playing randomly online are on wireless to begin with, and probably couldn’t give a shit if they have other high bandwidth shit like torrents or streaming going while they play. You give them too much credit thinking they lag switch.
Just sounds like Black Ops mentality, where everyone is a lag switcher if they kill you.
Well obviously, you’re supposed to accept it and sing along: ??DISRUPTA… DISRUPTA… DISRUPTA…??
I’ll be back home (pittsburgh) next month for the summer, so maybe I can join up with yall.
On topic: if you play this game online, you are agreeing to troll yourself eventually… even if you’re playing against an honest opponent.
All of this, offline is where it’s at anyway.
We also already sport a Netcode discussion.
