I tried, I managed to get some ghetto ass online BnB down, but more specifically, the lag spikes are what get most people. Some could be accustomed to a certain degree of lag in this game, but then you started to do a combo, then the netcode gets hiccups. It would then result in you getting a dropped combo and horrible positioning, and in turn the opponent will get to body your character without ever dropping their combo (not because of practice) due to the netcode not hiccuping on them.
In short, I’m playing this game less and less online. It’s negatively impacting my playstyle, since I used to be able to insta-react to Rapid Slash and get a full punish, but online, I can’t so squat.
well you can do both by having an online team and offline team the online team should be pretty braindead (put a vergil in there) and an offline team you like
yeah, I play my main squad online all the time, it’s frustrating and messes up my timing for offline but I been playing this game online since vanilla so I learned to adjust to timing changes.
Last year before I started to actually play this game offline, I used to play in training mode with the lag on, lol… I’ll never take online that serious, but you can play online and land your combos for the most part, I do all my offline combos, but the net code is ass and stuff will drop so just play to have fun
One time I fought you online. It went like this: [Sees GT] Hmmm, I remember that name from somewhere… [Remembers that there was a Drew Grimey at EVO] Nah, it must be a coincidence… [Sees Viper/Vergil/Strider] Okay, PLEASE be a troll account or something… [Gets bodied] Holy fuck. Of all people to run into…
I played earlier tonight and saw two things that stunned me with a whole…“Huh?”
After my opponent finished landing a combo, he went to reset me with nemesis. Now…the game had already stood me up on the opposite side of his nemesis, but his input came out as Nemesis RLer Hyper. But nemesis was facing the complete wrong side…shooting missles at nothing. To just reiterate…I had already teched rolled and was standing…THEN hyper flash…freaking odd.
I also saw a taskmaster counter land (As in— Herr…IDIOT!) But no animation occurred. At all. My opponent got a free combo as I was waiting for the animation to finish.
As much as I’m starting to like Hulk, I REALLY hate when I try to do Gamma Crush when someone is right above me during Gamma Charge, but I get crossed up for a few frames or something and do a Gamma Tsunami that goes completely the wrong way. Nemesis may have had the same issue there.
Awkward online moments:

Have you guys ever ran into ppl (mostly from other countries like Brazil, UK, etc.) with lag spiked connection who somefuckinhow seem to have adjusted to their shitty connection and can finish all of their combos as if the connection was krispy clean???
I have ran into a few and I always think in my head he’s going to drop his combos but then the LOL ONLINE factor kicks in…
Sadly is mostly high, master and cosmic lords from overseas who use this as their primary and most deadly weapon
I’m from the UK and play a lot of people out of europe and I just well deal with it when it lags and I’m in the air in a combo I’ll just press X and cut it short then otg after it.
then normally get called a lagy so and so…
If you want mail, play Phoenix. Win or lose, you will get tons of messages. I’d have to imagine doing a good Chris G impression would get a lot of rage as well.
Playing devil’s advocate here but try to keep in mind that Marvel can be such a harsh, unforgiving saltmine. He’s probably still learning the game and after getting TOD-cutscened enough times by you and others, once he FINALLY won one he was like, “OMG… f**k that guy” [/salt build up].
I can understand. Did he rematch you or leave after? I’m guessing he left out.
Hulk is a given, but they were probably even more embarrassed that you nearly kicked their ass with PW lol.
