Plenty of people have said it already, and some of it really isn’t the “netcode” per se, but the squeaky wheel gets the grease, right?
Can’t find a ranked match, throwback to main menu/LIVE menu really annoying. Only way to get a match is to set my parameters really wide, usually netting me a laggy match with somebody who far outranks me. (To be fair though, they really aren’t that good, and only one matchup so far HASN’T had a Sentinel that spammed like mad)
Input delay is very noticeable.
The bars that are supposed to represent the quality of a connection in the lobby mode are pointless. Green bars really don’t seem to mean anything, getting a good or bad connection is a crapshoot.
Seriously, no spectate? The MvC2 port for PSN and Xbox LIVE had that.
The ability to search for matches in the same way as SFIV and SSFIV where you can see open games and join them is sorely missed. I hate getting matched up with the same guy 3 times in a row, and I’d rather host a ranked lobby to begin with.
For all the people complaining about having to constantly go back to search, there is in fact a solution. Go into training mode and set yourself to accept ranked matches (with the usual settings of same/english/same). It gets matches at a consistent rate for me. I usually can’t even finish a combo in training before the match prompt comes up.
The online portion of this game is a joke. No spectating in lobbies, constant connection fails, etc. Hopefully some of this stuff will be patched (for free), because right now it seems either half complete or Capcom used their B team. Even the DS version of SSF4 will have spectating in lobbies, there’s no excuse for such a marquee title like MVC3.
I did that, and with less restrictive search settings. I spent 30 minutes in Training mode before I remembered that I was there to find a match online. It worked once last night, but hasn’t worked at all since.
just do arcade request yall, you’ll always get matched up super quick. when i search for matches i get the same failed to connect bs, but in fight request shit is butter… just like sf4. now if only the lag were fixed…
Stop saying this. It does relate to the 3D graphics, because of the things required to get 3D graphics of this quality. Saying that the Titanic didn’t sink because of an ice burg but because of how the ship was made is incredibly silly. The fact remains that the only way they could get that size of a ship made was to make it in that way. The only way to get the visual look they wanted was to include things such as a physics engine. They didn’t want a bare bones look like DBZ.
Saying this isn’t related to 3D graphics is a half truth and is hiding from the fact that it is directly related to the 3D animation style and what is required of it.
continental Europe the same region as the UK? Since when? Not since ssfiv that’s for sure. I dont want to go into ranked and play someone from fucking Germany in a laggy ass match I have no control over other than to disconnect. That’s why I pick same region, so I can play people from the uk and have a reasonably non laggy match.
Seriously the thought that went into the matchmaking is a fucking disgrace, they really must have been pressed for time if this is the shit they come out with. When I actually got a match it was pretty smooth, untill I got stuck playing people from some random European country it was almost as bad As playing someone from the us.
Capcom hit folks with a red herring asking them to vote on what characters they want and not what features not to fix or add. I think people was warned to ask Capcom for a better netcode.
Yeah, the lag’s retarded. Have fun with the spate of fullscreen Unibeam spammers/random fullscreen supers when you can’t even reliably superjump out of the gaps. Regular online is basically going to consist of characters that have beam projectiles and supers that can punish anything fullscreen.
Even fight request is garbage since you have to pick your team again, then the dummy team, then wait for the portraits to fill in, then select the stage again after every single goddamn match. The someone joins, and guess what? You have to pick your team again, wait for them to pick theirs, then pick the stage. I honestly don’t get how you end up with menus and matchmaking working like this unless your intended design goal is specifically to waste as much of the user’s time as possible.
And have fun fighting the exact same laggy scrub 5 times in a row, since you can’t see who it matched you up with and there’s no way to back out once it’s found someone.
Lobbies are utterly worthless. No spectator, and somehow – SOMEHOW – you can’t boot players or fucking mute their mics. What the shit? I don’t want to listen to the average brotard or gangsta wannabe stroke their egos with their awesome wesker/dante/deadpool/random tatsu Akuma team, and i’m pretty sure i don’t need to hear the game’s audio a second time through their speakers which are invariably loud enough to come through the mic.
First you don’t get that latency and lag are the same thing, now this. Do you EVER have the slightest fucking idea what you’re talking about? That post is literally so incomprehensible that i can’t even figure out where to begin taking it apart to show you how retarded it was. For the love of fuck, stop talking.
dont waste your time, anemone is a fucking idiot, he doesnt know what he is talking about the major part of the time, but likes to argue with stupid rethorics, the fact that ponder has already stated that GGPO can work with 3d games just fine as 2d doesnt have room on the shit that he has for brains
