I have a few friends and we play maybe twice a week, but i really wanna get more into ssf4. How is online play? i only played sf4 through PC and it was pretty rough at times, i have a 6mbit connection that is pretty stable and live in south AL, am i gonna be laggin through alot of fights? I will probably try a month at least to see what its like but any comments would be awesome.
Personally I consider xbox live the best online experience you can get. I have had no issues with lag so far. I even played my friend who lives in Korea (I am in Boston MA) and the lag was minimal. It was actually very playable, 10am his time 9pm mine time, crazy far away and still fine.
Overall, the lag issue has improved tremendously compared to Vanilla SF4. Plus, you have the option of not playing people with good connections, and you can choose to only play people in your region (which helps a lot as you won’t get people 3,500 miles away). Try it out free for a month. Endless Battle online is sick fun. It doesn’t compare to playing your friends IRL, but it’s a solid comparison. Plus you can play in the nude and not be judged.
