There really should be an option to just quit out of match with a bad connection. Got one in ranked tonight, me vs a Karin player where the match was basically random teleporting and then a combo happening.

I mean, yes there’s an option to not automatically accept matches, but IMO there should still be a way out for those who just automatically do.

That was one of the really nice things that Injustice did was if the connection was too bad to play the game would unilaterally cancel the match AND let both players know that it had been cancelled (as opposed to leaving someone with the impression that their opponent had quit). I would argue that if NRS could manage something like this that Capcom should be able to figure it out.

So people got the option select of starting a torrent while losing?

I dunno, I dunno.
I’d be fine with playing a laggy game once in a while and losing points in the process, as long as online is stable in 99% of my matches.

Nah I’m done. Sitting around for 5 minutes and then getting 2/3-bar games at best. GG my LP, I feel robbed.

Penalties for losing are harsher now, hence more rage quitting. It’s hardly priority one, but Capcom should really eventually make ranked friendlier. I get the theory of wanting higher level people to have earned it through playing well rather than just playing a lot, but this is netplay. The rankings are always going to be dumb, because netplay is always going to be dumb. Let me have my virtual pat on the back without having to worry about it being virtually revoked minutes later.

How is the penalty more harsh for losing? This system is much more forgiving than Sf4 where you got to a certain point and you were playing for 1 point and risked losing 128.

I haven’t played ranked in a bit… But once I got to the least low level of 1500 lp… Depending on my opponent own LP… Generally the most I could make 35 lp on a match… But if I lost one it took 66-85 LP.

meaning that at 1500 you have to basically got 2-1 to maintain LP and 3-1 to make more… That’s pretty harsh for such a low level IMO. I know people are having it easy to go 20-1 at that level… But not everyone has great connections or great players to play against, and it feels unforgiving tbqh.

Thats only if your only matches are against players with less or equal points. Obviously our personal experiences will differ, but at least one out of every three of my matches is against a guy 500 points or more in front of me.

Imo the game does a good job of keeping you in a competitive spot.

Ok so I just got my first draw game. You both lose 16 lp and no rematch. Fucking LOL.

i feel like anyone on wifi should, at best, only be allowed to be seen as a 2 bar connection. but right now its not like that

[bisonator]

I did all the characters’ stories. No trophy for it though. What a pain

[echelonNYK]

I’m expecting Alex’s trailer this weekend. If they don’t…

I assume something will be shown at Winter Brawl

Is WB a Capcom event? If not, don’t expect anything.

So if you and Daigo fought to a draw game a certain number of times, you’d both be the lowest ranked players.

[Hawkingbird]

Is there a gameplay reason why in streams most of the matches are played either on the Brazil or the NYC stages?

I’m a little disappointed at not seeing Bustling Side Street being played on. That theme never fails to get me pumped up.

Apparently, Brazil has no lag.

There are stages that are confirmed to be laggy and not just hearsay?

Dunno if they’ve been confirmed or not. But I’ve heard that Brazil and Shadoloo HQ (and maybe NY) are supposedly “lag free.”

The only stage I can see possibly being laggy is Shadoloo Base when the aircraft appears on screen. None of the other stages have anything going on to cause lag.

You didn’t draw; you both lost.

Except he’d mop the floor with me every single time nad I would be the lowest ranked player in history.

Theres lag in the hangar during the helicopter landing, there’s lag in china when you break the neon sign at the top, there’s lag in the shadaloo inner base at random and I’ve had it in the london stage a few time…in offline. That’s just bullshit maaang.

[Raz0r]

Fuck you, NyaaLobby apparently a PC player from Japan.

Dude got dunked and rage quit on me. Stay free, bitch.

Maybe thats how she plays given a certain matchup. I know I’ve seen very offensive chun li as well.

I’m just saying…

Crowd int the background* ooooooOOOOOoOOoooOOOOOOOooo :o

[AlxL]

i feel like after 5 rage quits you should be banned from online play completely from life. whichever works better.

I completely agree with you!!!

At least that’s a little more involved than alt+F4. If Capcom where using the same (craptastic) netcode that they where using in SFIV then I’d be OK with the laggy match once in a while too. However since, as we’ve seen in numerous examples, the rollback netcode may only be affecting one player while the other is fine I’m not so OK with being subjected to Suplex Teleport City while my opponent gets a nice smooth connection.
