Hecatom: Np man…I am 99% sure of it, but feel free to do a research and let’s see if that theory is true 
I finally played it tonight, great game, the house was full and we were just figuring out the chars and combos and shit. We did try online 5 times, it was really bad, I’ll be playing it again tomorrow after 6pm (et) and up.
On a side note, I played MvC2 and that shit ran smooth.
I need a damn 360 arcade stick 
lol not really, Im more like an enthusiast of the fight, and just learn from getting my ass kicked.
I only have the ps3 ver atm tho =(
It kind of sucks that we can’t really get competitive with this game untill the patches have arrived…sigh at least practicing is fun lol.
ive been playing some games online if you play with only 2 player rooms and have yellow or higher it seems to be playing fine.
We should try to get in some matches as well. I always have a full bar connection and I’m trying to get decent at this. GT is on the left!
Everyone does on their own screen…
lol :lol:
It needs another update.
This better get fixed because it will be a crying shame if this is the online performance we end up with.
The actual fighting is fucking sweet. Everything else is trash. Fix the online and I’ll have no problem looking the other way with everything else.
There seems to be a clear devide, here. I’m not sure why it is some people are experiencing great online play while others are still left in the dust. I wonder which console got more out of this update.
Looking foward to facing Slide again, despite knowing what the outcome will be. I’ll be on a lot tomorrow morning if anyone wants some comp. Vizince on Live
I think this game could be better. I am kof fan and I enjoy the game. I just kinda wish they implemented a couple more stages, characters, and moves.
I thought this game had a chance of being a popular fighting game and being on topics of EVO discussion. I thought this game would make more video game people in America recognize SNK more and kof series will become more popular. Well KOFXIII will be good to go hopefully.
I wou;dn’t count out 12 for Evo just yet.
I’ve read that some people on 360 have trouble online still while others are playing just fine.
why is that? mr.wizard tried to get kof12 at this years EVO. why wouldnt he try for next year?
I think KOF12 will replace 3S next year, since KOF12 is on PS3- and that will make logistics easier. If 3S comes out on PSN, all bets are off though.
If I was Ignition, I’d even consider paying to get it guaranteed.
I honestly believe this has to do with a lot of casual players getting “used to online” play as opposed to playing arcade mode due to the lack of options the game offers.
“Good Connection” just seems IMO as another word for acceptable and KOF should NOT be played this way. The game is already slower than previous versions.
The people having problems are probably either playing red bars or player/arcade matches with specs. Even 1 spec will kill the game and make it superlaggy.
Yellow bars are usually good - about 80% of the time. Generally when they aren’t, it’s because you’re playing foreigners.
Just so you know I edited my post.
But anyway I hear you, but using things like short hops and quick recovery are hindered even in “good matches”.
KOF98UM netcode is nothing to speak highly of, but I have yet to get a connection speed on KOFXII as good as some of my UM battles. . .
Ditto on that… This game is a blast to play. The only problem is playing online. I can see this game being up there with SF4 if SNK hadnt put out a half ass product. Hopefully through some nice DLC and the netcode patch they can rectify their mistakes. I have faith 
Oh and as far as your yellow bar connections being good. I played another player here in Columbus, OH …he is probably about 15mins from me and we had yellow bars on each others connections when we took turns hosting. There was a noticeable input lag but the game was still at least playable. For the record I have not played a lagless match online in this game. I have never seen a blue or green bar connection either…its all myth lol.
as long as i keep on winning the online is fine.
the lagg in online mode isnt that bad. you just have to get use to it.
ive played many online games i know how it feels to be lagged.
the lag in kofxii has a steady lag. it doesnt go fast, slow, fast, slow like tekken
if its slow then its slow if its fast than its fast.
u guys just nid to get use to the lag and time ur attacks to make it perfect.
yea that’s what we should be doing…
