Tourney just ended. It was a good room. Some folks even came away with some swag as well! Thanks to folks for coming out! :wgrin:
just got the game and just played a friend who is also in Cali, for an hour
smooth …5 bar sf4 smooth
Yeah, idk something about playing friends an getting reliable connection…
Speaking of lul netplay I concocted a funny experiment…
I got semi-playable match on xbl with my friend next to me on two different networks… One was a cable, the other was me tethering off my g1 in 3g…
Surprisingly the cable network was low yellow bar while my phone was green… idk just found it hilarious… maybe the netcode testing was done on hacked phones in japan haha… that would explain everything
ps3 however was a different story… we both were 1 bar!
Ever since the update I havent found a single connection above red. Before the update it wasnt very hard to find someone playable. I dont know if theyre related or anything, but damn.
Play ranked yellow bar connections.
In ranked the room max is 2 people, no spectators, so you just need to find a yellow (or blue) bar and your good to go.
My matches have been mostly smooth, if noone is in ranked I’ll try arcade or player matches but it tends to be harder to find matches there that are yellow.
It seems noone wants to sit and watch anyway so I dont know why more people dont play ranked where you just get to play without wating x amount of time for matches to finish before you get your shot.
okay I have a question, and forgive my ignorance here, but on the online vs screens, there is a connection meter for myself and the opponent. Typically the meter under my name is blue, (it has actually never been anything other than blue ,which I assume is okay?) and theirs is ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS red. is there anything I can do, or is my connection pretty much fine, and the problem lies on the other end? I have tried to have SO many matches and not a single match was ever not a red match. It is awful. If anyone wants to play and they have good connections, I am more than happy to play. My gamertag is NapkinSchematic
eh, i notice when i play my friends. My connection is blue, theirs is yellow, and on their side. their connection is blue, mine is yellow. The netcode is fucked and all we can do is wait.
hearing all this stuff makes me wonder how terrible could it be my connection with other people, since i live in honduras :shake:
I’ll try the game friday night or saturday on my friends house (don’t have a xb atm). I quoted you because your avatar rocks, I own that movie.
Back to the topic, if anyone in Puerto Rico read this pm me for play the days i mentioned.
Bogard
WTF, someone Neg Repped me for this? Really?
Thats what you get for trading in your game period.
hehe welcome back to 56k…
I’ve had a bunch of decent matches with my friends in Argentina… yes there was lag, but it wasn’t atrocious…
Shouldn’t it always be like that? Since your icon represents your particular internet connection and the their icon represents your connection to them?
you have to keep both
what is your connection settings and speed?, also in what console are you playing it? 
Anyone want to get a few matches in around 3:30 central on xbox live? I like near chicago area 10mb down 2mb up. Send me an invite. Looking for Truskill or arcade matches!!! Maybe even player!!!
any word on fixes for the new bug that came from the patch? or another online patch?
This was on the Ignition USA forums. Mad Max, the administrator of the forums, stated the following:
"Hello KOFXII Fans:
As we stated yesterday, we are currently in serious talks with SNK PLAYMORE about getting some of the online/netcode and functional concerns addressed as soon as possible. We have also passed along the top DLC requests that the fans are making so they can be very much aware of what people want. Here are some of the requests we have specifically passed along to SNK PLAYMORE:
FUNCTIONAL ISSUES:
- Netcode performance improvements HIGHEST PRIORITY
- Ability to search for game sessions by connection speeds
- Adding the ability for players and spectators to quit out of online matches
- Addition of ?kick? or ?remove player? option from host lobbies
- Various game play bugs, including the Raiden/Elizabeth critical combo bug
- Ability to cancel or back out of the character selection screen
DLC FAN REQUESTS:
- Additional Characters (and yes, Mai is on top of the list we provided SNK)
- Additional Stages
- Ability to Color Edit Characters
- Endless Survival Mode
- Endless Time Attack Modes
- Challenge Mode(s)
We will keep you informed of any progress made with SNK PLAYMORE and we again thank you for the incredible support. We encourage you to continue with the constructive feedback, as we are fans of the series too!"
Thoughts?
Here is my list
-
Netcode
-
Additionaly features such as a combo Challenge Mode
-
Stages and Characters would be nice.
My feelings about this KOF situation is that they should have just waited and put a better product out instead of this. They should have really tested the netcode…thats pretty much the reason most people bought this was to play online. It is nice that they are “Looking” into doing something about the problems. We will see what they come up with
This is extremely bad for SNK . They put out a product like they did and they got initial sales but word of mouth is going to kill this game. They should have waited or now they should give us a time frame of when things will be fixed. They only hurt themselves thus far.
Honduras? Heh…I would question playing online period at that point. It’s worth a shot but I can’t imagine you having a good time playing any Xbox Live fighter except maybe HD Remix or Marvel.
Even kof 98 um on xbl online was slightly better and that’s not saying much.
