its ass but its much better than what kof12 was…cant activate Ash’s sex mode in the heat of a match…lost 3 to 8 games with a friend who is a local (we both live in GA)…it always came down to the last char…
bs…I know I could pull of those combos…
I like this game to much to stop playing but playing online is going to ruin my execution…
Yeah I got FUCKED last night cause some Aussie joined my damned ranked room somehow
I’ll say it again, Best game out right now - Netcode isn’t awesome unless it’s 4 bars., Why does it go from PERFECTION at 4 bars to Half Assed at 3 Bars?!? - Couldn’t we get like a happy medium?!? lol
Also w3rd on the street and what I’ve heard through the grapevine is that… Atlus and SNKP are well and fully aware of the netcode and are working on a patch ASAP.
I honestly haven’t had much problem with 3 bars. The delay isn’t that huge of a difference from 4 bars. At least from the people I played. But 1 and 2 bars? nah. I was mindfucked at how some Iori player was able to do some DC combos with him during lag to finish me off.
Please don’t say stuff unless it is 100% true, I’ve had enough of rumors that turn out to be horseshit.
Anyone getting a lot of desyncs tonight?
Glad to hear it. I was afraid we were stuck with this shit.
Reading this thread makes me sick.
KOF 12 was an amazing game but the netcode killed it before it had a chance to take off. SNK promised us a patch and it took like 2 months for it to come out. The patch was ok, but it was too little too late.
I’ll rent this from blockbuster or gamefly to see for myself but the fact that the idiots at SNK would not learn from their mistakes just enrages me.
KOF is such a good game, it would be sad for it to vanish because they cant get the netcode decent enough for people to want to play it.
Regardless of what anyone says, the game should be playable on wifi. HDR, MVC2 and 3S all have no input lag online, and are the most playable games on live, wired or wifi. SNK obviously dropped the ball again. The upside? SNK dies again and maybe now we’ll see cvs2 re-released
So, basically the upside is that another old game will get released only to die in a week and have a bunch of the old cvs2 cultists bitch and moan about how bad that version of the game is?
Did you miss the disclaimer I put in the front?, That lil’ sentence right there before you highlighted the obvious unofficial news… “Also w3rd on the street and what I’ve heard through the grapevine is that…”
played 10matches with my bro who is living 1200KM from me.
We are in China and we both are on DSL 2MB.
Installed game.
2 bars…the game wasnt the same as the offline BUT it was more than enjoyable…my bro pulled out lots of combos (charging takuma for example,kyo,ralf,clark) and eventhough it wasnt smooth as the offline (some delay here and there) It was pretty fun (i was using the shitty ps3 pad, didnt bother to plug in my stick…it was just a test).
To me the 2 bars are OK for fun and casual play
Excluding the overly vocal ones (particularly the troll exclaiming the redeath of KOF), the netcode looks good.
XBOX 360
I live in Puerto Rico, so yea, far away ahahhaa
I usually get 3 bars with everyone, SLIGHT delay but it doesnt affect much, just be sure you know your moves in advance, Compared to XII, this is home sweet home, but I would still love a Netcode smoothness of SSF4, but, for being finally able to play a stable KOF online, im happy. 
I just wished a few characters had more of there old moves, but wounds will heal and Clark is still a force to be reckon with!
The only experience I’ve had thus far was okay. But it was very hard to find matches afterwards, especially yesterday (11-ish pm, MST).
Also, I think I’ve misunderstood something in my infinite stupidity.
So I’m aware there’s no spectator mode, I’ve “accepted” that (not happy about it). But… is there no option to even make a multiplayer lobby? I haven’t had enough time to dig into the online tough yet, but trying to tonight and just reading over what everyone else is experiencing, it seems that somehow I glossed over that.
If that’s the case then that… really sucks.
I love love love everything about this game but right now I need the online practice, and it seems like everything that could go wrong with this game online to make a strong community for it, has.
Is there any chance that if the community make enough noise they could add it in after the fact? I’ll bomb Atlus/SNK’s twitter if I have to. I refuse to see this series die again when they got nearly everything else right.

facepalm
Netcode is certified diarrhea doodoo
I’d call it “slow motion” more than input delay.
Fucking awful. And yes, I’ve played wired and wifi. It sucks.
It’s pretty much unplayable online.
About the same here now on day two. I had a 3 bar that was actually alright, a 2 bar that was annoying… and although 1 bar shouldn’t be expected to be good anyway, my god… it was painful.
Part of it might be my connection though. I need to switch ISPs anyway. BUT, I wasn’t having these issues nearly as much with AE unless someone else was crowding my net.
Just throwing this out there. But why has it never been tried with dedicated servers? Doesn’t it work or am I missing something here? Maybe it’s just a way to cut expenses since console generally revolves around P2P way of matchmaking.
Agreed M.D. I wish it came out on ps3 not a lot of games with Rock Howard in em god I wish they would let him be in kof the rest of guro has already been in kof
