I’ve been playing since friday and have experienced very noticeable lag in the majority of my games. This is pretty disappointing since the netcode was advertised as being so great. Fortunately the game is so amazing I try my best to ignore the lag
Yea… Same here on the PS3… There were some matches that it was “OK”… Probably 4 bars at most when I tried lag simulation in training mode… A delay that isn’t to friendly at times and to time the perfection of combos.
Hopefully it can be fixed, but also people be lagging all the time.
I’m going to get it on Xbox next week… I expected the 360 to be a bit better but it seems it is the same. I also had no problem finding a match on the PS3 either.
I had a lot of rage quitters today though. Annoying as fuck.
wait til everyone gets the game and there are more people to play in your immediate vicinity before you go complaining too much about the netcode, please. use common sense.
I was kinda going to say the same thing. I don’t think it’s fair to critique the netcode of a game that 95% of the owners “technically” shouldn’t even be playing (due to some stores breaking street date).
I doubt it will be different when it releases tomorrow. Even though I didn’t have problems finding any games at all. I didn’t have that problem, but the delay was noticeable. I had a hard time executing combos with it, but mehhh… Still got the mission mode and the game on Very Hard is actually… Really hard. EnjoY!
I think I’ve played about 50 matches, I haven’t noticed any real issues. Had one real laggy match, but I suspect my opponent was on WiFi. Everything else has been smooth.
Mostly everyone will use Wi-Fi though… That’s the thing, and not most people know about port forwarding. Marvel Vs Capcom 2 was flawless online. Delay in button inputs was never a factor. Even when I played laggy people. I’ve played around 15 ranked matches… The delay was there… I was lucky to win all of them. I’m not gonna play ranked until I hear some changes about it… I still have player match to play and to try and get better.
last night i was playing a friend on the opposite coast and the matches were perfect, no noticeable lag at all.
people will bitch about netplay for every single game out there, always ready to invent some ‘omg this has the worst netcode ever!!’ bs in order to get recognized. I don’t take any of you fools seriously because you the same people who say SF4 has terrible netcode. Yeah, in your basements on your wifi while having a torrent window open wondering why your online play so laggy gtfo with that isht.
… um no, i also had ssf4 early and it didnt lag nearly as hard… not that that means everything, but ssf4 was BETTER before the game officially released.
and yes i know that i was probably matched up with people across the country or on wireless. doesnt matter cause when i say SAME region it should filter to same region not east fucking coast. thats a problemm with the online matchmaking, not me or my isp. i have 25 MB DL and 2 UL wired. and it doesnt show the connection speed unless you are in a lobby… but who wants to wait in a lobby where they cant even see the games being played? lol maybe YOU guys should think before hitting that reply button.
MVC2 was flawless online. I had no problems at all. Only when I played pro Magneto players, that’s about it. To fast to even think, but other than that. The game was FLAWLESS online. I don’t know if you were playing the same game, but the DELAY wasn’t much of a factor, than what I have seen thus far. It was the same with SF4 when it was first released. Almost all fighting games are like that online. MVC2’s online play was great. Ask anyone on here. For a fast paced game, that shit was, and still is one of these best online fighting games hands down. POW!
man, why do people have such a hard time talking about/rationalizing/having a clear head about online play? here’s the alpha and omega of the issue: the bottom line is, always has been, and always will be down to the nature of the network environment. it’s who you play and the middle ground between each player’s location, hardware, personal setup, etc.
before release or after your mileage may vary. the difference is that once the game is out it’ll only get easier to play the types of people whose network environment best matches yours. run into people with whom you get a solid connection, friend them, keep playing them. it’s always been that simple, really.
(and for the record I couldn’t give a fuck about lobbies anyway. I want to actually be playing the game.)
LOL! I was playing Blazblue the other week and had a couple great matches with a random guy. Then all of the sudden shit got REAL laggy. He sent me a message that said “Oops, sorry. Forgot I was downloading porn.” I told him it must have been a lot, and he replied “My queue was set to download four 500gb movies at once, my bad.”
