^^^ Agreed, the fact that you can see the connection w/someone before you play helps ALOT
4-5 bar connections play very well for me now.
I just got the game today for xbl, downloaded the patch and was disgusted. input lag was bad, and most of my matches played like they were underwater. I’m ebaying this crap tonight to try and make my money back.
I can’t believe it took microsoft so long to approve the kof12 patch which was really good and approved this trash right away. I’m just going to stick to street fighter 4 until super comes out.
Ever thought it might be your connection, “played like they were underwater”…really?
It’s been nothing but positive feedback for this patch across the community. Sure there are times when it lags but it is VERY playable.
its def not my connection but I think I had a slew of bad luck yesterday, I gave the game another run today and it played beautifully I guess I just stumbled onto a lot of poor connections or people using lagspike tactics to win. I’m glad I decided to give it another go before I ebayed it.
I have this as well, however, when I go and visit someone else’s house with a faster connection everything runs smoothly.
At the same time, SFIV has insane amounts of freezing for upwards of 5 seconds, reads my input during that time and when it’s done it will put out all the buttons I pushed during the freeze.
I really don’t understand why I have problems on SFIV, and you don’t while we both have the same problem on Tekken.
As of today, online-play works quite smoothly, being able to counter, juggle and such, which felt like an impossibility at release.
the bars can be mad deceptive online, and i dont know why. i have played 2 bar people that felt like 4, and i have played 5 bar people that lagged all to hell. i still know something is wrong. whatever. ugh, why do so many scrubs have good connections. such a waste. ill try again in like 15.
