So who sucks more: PSN or Xbox 360 SF4 players?

Well PS3 is the standard for high level tournament play any ways and there are more hardcore gamers in general that stick with their Sony brand that they’ve been using to play SF, Tekken and other fighting games for years. 360 definitely has some very solid players as well but 360’s online service has to be paid for yearly which keeps some people away that may have already spent plenty of money on a PS3 and a good arcade stick. Lots of tournament players have PS1/2 sticks that they can easily use a Pelican or Inpin converter with on the PS3 and their manufactured/custom stick now works on PS3 and they only spent like 20 bucks.

As opposed to the 360 where you have to spend 80 dollars easy just to play your PS1/2 stick on a converter that has lag in the inputs. Basically you’ll have to spend a lot more money just to even get started with the 360 if you have a PS stick/pad. Plus there’s a large player base that still loves their PS3 pad for fighting games as opposed to like…the large player base of people who think the 360 pad is atrocious for fighting games.

add me up sir. I want to play against that viper.:karate:

Why is your brother so beastly with gen?!?!?!:tup::karate:

:wonder: Yeah he is pretty sick with the ol’ Gen. How’s your Blanka coming along? Before I quit playing SFIV I remember your Blanka being quite a challenge. I’m waiting for the next update before I give SFIV another try. I tried but I just couldn’t get into SFIV. Hopefully the next version will be a more enjoyable experience for me just like 3rd Strike is… dood!

I play mostly on 360. When I tried the PSN version online I didn’t notice any difference in the competition, I was able to find good players on both versions.

The PSN does have some network issues. I couldn’t find anyone above 2 bars and even experienced multiple disconnects. I’ll bet the problem is that a majority of the players are simply using the built in wireless of the PS3 for their connection. It’s a great hardware feature, but it’s just not for fighting games. The netcode masks it pretty good, but the latency really builds during a match making it difficult to pull off links and combos.

This thread is the stupidest thread ever!!!

From what ive played on both versions PS3 users seem alot more cheap to me, not all of them but more of them.
+1 for the X360 having far superior network over the PS3.

One thing is sure i’ve just went from xbox to ps3 to follow friends.
PS3 online play feels like i’m fighting feet in sand, everything is delayed, shitty, i’m so pissed. Seriously psn is free, but it’s a free shit.

Wish i didn’t sell my TE on the xbox

Did i mention the connection? PSN is way laggier.

it goes like this

360 players = scrubs
psn players = not as scrubby

360 online = fantastic, much like playing in an arcade
psn online = horrible, 4 and 5 bar matches had lag, where as i rarely ever get lag from even a 3 bar match on 360
