hey if you can get playable games more power to ya but it’s definitely the game causing large problems, I play KOFXIII with the same general group of people I play other games with and can directly compare the experience from game to game. Almost every other mainstream fighter handles lag better (all the SFIV games, UMVC3, third strike online, HD remix and blazblue) I have had absolutely terrible games of KOFXIII with people and just switched directly to third strike online or HD remix and had playable games with the very people I had unplayable games with in KOFXIII only moments ago.
Not trying to be a hater here but it seems like a common opinion that the game is okay online and it’s just bad matchmaking that is causing lag issues. The developers have this impression and they have patched the matchmaking, but the actual netcode remains flawed and unchanged. I don’t use the match making, I generally only fight people on my friends list and the experience is significantly lower than other games I play.
Maybe it’s just me, maybe I am completely crazy, but god damn I made a similar post about MVC3 a few months ago before UMVC3 came out and people in that thread testified that their mvc3 experience was great. I can’t believe it, if vanilla mvc3 and KOF XIII have passable netcode, I must have a virus that magically creates a shitty experience ONLY with these two games.
