This thread is dedicated to players who play UMVC3 online over XBL/PSN of all skill levels who have all sorts of crazy things happen to them (be it good or bad) just so we all realize that online is ass and remember that in most cases, not to take it seriously.
The LOL online thread is for any events whether it be dropping a game-winning combo due to input lag, or winning due to input lag/hatemail/ or even good shit that makes you go “LOL Online”.
For me,
last week I was playing ranked vs. a cosmic lord and was about to get me a perfect. I was feeling myself a bit so I went for a Mad beast combo online, and surprisingly landed the first rep (which is the hardest) and went into almost the Full BNB.
As, I was finishing my Mad beast BNB, I was feeling like the shit. not even like Shit but THE SHIT. I’m almost done, and on my 18th and final rep and was about to put in the input for raven spike when I got the feared message
“YOU HAVE DISCONNECTED FROM XBOX LIVE. RETURNING TO TITLE SCREEN”
and just like that, my Happiness, my feelings of joy gone. When I went back to the dashboard and reconnected to Xbox, I got a message from my opponent
“Dude, you were about to perfect me, why rage-quit?”
This was about 3 months ago. Working on a perfect on this guy playing Wesker. I go up for the down arrows into super, and the lag becomes fucking horrendous all of a sudden and all I got was a jump. Wesker pops x-factor and does what he does best with a pixel of life left.
Then he sends me this, not the picture but the message.
I’ve been trying to learn to ROM on pad recently, I have the Fanatiq starter version down in training mode. So then I went online and tried to do it in ranked.
Wat. Hawkeye gets destroyed by lag (assuming you don’t just triple arrow xx gimlet like most fraudulent Hawkeyes), and playing Zero in bad lag is pretty difficult as well.
Why the heck aren’t Hulk and Sentinel in untouchable tier? Zero should be in mid/faceroll tier…
people quit when i win, often sending a nasty message as well.
people quit when i lose, often sending a nasty message as well.
people quit on the team vs screen, though i’ve yet to get a message when that happens.
the wonderful world of psn marvel has no love for morrigan, even my simple one ;_;
I have the most fun using Magneto online. I finally learned the Hyper grab loop(the fact I call it that shows how much effort I had to put into coming to grips with it- I couldn’t even get the name right initially). Went onlin…, Air H, Dash down H, Standing H, Hyper grav->super jump up, dash down- CHING! Opponent begins Wesker XF3 comeback. Ok then, so I can’t do that online.
I learned the ROM, went online (and all this is from a match against a friend who used Task, Doom and Vergil.)… Air H, Dash Down H, Sup…err normal jump H OK then, next time I’ll just stick with the basic flight loop.
So… Air H->dash M Flight->oh they dropped out.
Cool, Ok then let me try his magnetic blast combos, no flight needed in that… Air H->Dash H-> Magnetic Blast->Dash Cr.H- Ok so maybe I’m cancelling the Dash too fast for the netcode to read my input. Let me cut out the Cr. H-
Air H->air dash H, Magnetic blast, land, Dash S… Vergil Helm Breakers, otgs and CHING! XF3 Comeback FTW.
My current status on PSN is ‘no Mag, no online’ lol
Oh, I have another story lol. I went into a lobby in which there were some average, decent ranks (5th & 6th ranks). Neilmeister was in there (he & neilerath have been the subject of some minor posts in the rage quitter threads, though he/they as they could be the same person lol, are actually always going through opponents including myself previously in lobbies).
However, it was another player, whose name I shall edit in when I find it lol, that stole the show. I wasn’t watching matches initally, but his trash talk had me rolling. He used Ryu, Cap & Wesker, 5th Lord I think, and he was talking trash and cussing throughout the matches. He then started cussing at everyone to get a mic cos they are cheap as fck, only $22- and this was after he called someone a British cunt lol. He was saying people shouldn’t message him, get a mic, everyone was garbage and the rest. But the gold came when he started calling people scrubby, HOMOPHOBIC, fcks. That’s right, homophobic is the new insult. It’s 2012, calling people gay/cussing gay people is old. He started using homophobic as his new insult. As it should be. But still lol! I need to add him cos he was too funny!
OK then, next time I’ll just stick with the basic flight loop.
