I played someone nearby in 1v1 and it was as good or better than sf4. When we did a king of the hill 1v1 it was like being underwater.
King of the hill hasn’t given me much trouble. Except that every time I get a 15 win streak I get kicked from the lobby. wtf.
Hi every1, I also read in another forum that the online is better now, at least 1vs1. So I like to know if more people think the netcode is better now(at least like ssf4)?
IMO still abysmal. Especially after the weekend playing good competition in person. To see what this game descends to online is pathetic.
I note when it tells me the server is down (which is at least 60% of the time, especially yesterday) it’s the singular: server. Not servers. Hmmmn.
lol Raiden makes me rage so much with how bad the netcode is. Almost impossible to block his flying shit on reaction. ugh
Agreed. Some times lag makes me so annoyed when fighting some chars. Especially when trying to move in on zoning characters that have a quick attack, it makes dash blocking hard/impossible to do depending on the amount of lag.
Lag makes some matches for Johnny (and probably other non-teleport chars with weaker zoning) go from unfavorable or disadvantaged to freakin’ insane.
I would disagree with that; KOF XII and MvC3 are the only two games that stand out to be as being released bare-bones, iirc.
I don’t get why people still persist in KoH mode. Can’t they see how unplayable it is? Anyone from anywhere can join your room and you can’t limit the numbers. 8 man lag filled lobbies? Yes please!
I just saw a guy with 1400 matches online (1163 wins 210 losses). How the fuck is that even possible? The matchmaking is so bad this guy must be glitching his record or cheating osmehow.
Not everyone has the same connection. Some have more, some have less lags.
You can host private KoTH and it’s not bad. When you make private matches only the people who are in there when you start the FIRST match can join (you can’t invite afterwards…meaning if someone leaves and comes back, you’ll have to start a new room…stupid imo). I’ve played online enough where not a lot of games are lagfests and most of them were KotH. I’m not saying it’s good but you can still have a good experience online. Just because you and a number of people are having bad games doesn’t mean that everyone is. Like I said, I’m not saying it’s good cuz the game lags on me as well but I’ve played with majority of good connections than bad ones.
I really wish I could agree. I played a lot of online yesterday/today (Up to about 500 matches played) and while I can do my BnB online and sort of punish obvious stuff, the game is still unplayable. Punishing jump ins on reaction is hopeless, same goes for blocking fast moves on reaction, don’t even get me started on stuff like approaching Noob Saibot without a teleport. I mean I dash block up, but he gets like six free clone chips because of how underwater it all is. I don’t know how you can punish reptile, I mean his slide/dash are punishable, but the window is broken online. Same with stuff like Kung Lao spin.
Sure if your entire game is jump in-combo, or teleport/safe(online) fast special it’s fine, and sure it’s fun to be able to unpunishable jump in for 40% over and over, but it’s not helping my game get better. It’s shredding my combo timing, it’s making my punishment sloppy, and it’s teaching me not to be smart about approaching. Every game I play online is making me a worse player.
BBCT and SSFIV are both really lacking in the content department, especially by comparison (I’ll admit BBCS has a lot of stuff).
I would take even MORE barebones games (literally only Training, Vs. and Online Ranked/Player) if it meant the game and the online play wouldn’t suck.
Completely agree. When input lag creeps over a certain threshold, fighting game players fall back to what works under such poor conditions and games get very, very dumb. This kind of play combined with unresponsive controls, spending ages to get into a match and connections dropping all over the place, MK online is akin to slamming your sack in a drawer over and over at the moment.
Would it have been too much for NRS to post daily updates as to what is happening and what they are doing with the game I fucking paid for?
I don’t know how it can ever be deemed acceptable to just leave paying customers - peopel interested in playing your game - in the dark indefinitely with no word, clue or anything. This is a really stupid situation.
Why do you need daily updates for anything? Last week NRS already gave us a timeline on when they plan on addressing the online issues on their forums, which is more than what I can say about other developers in respect to their games.
The whole game lags, so if I’m going to be miserable, might as well be miserable with some friends…
You didn’t read my post, try again.
