update out now

You can’t really blame lag, both players are lagging the same; so both are affected, like a normal match just slowed down.

If you can’t adjust to the lag then it’s moot point. I can’t do alot of kyo combos, but I still OCV with him from time to time. (I suggest using grapple characters, like Clark during this time of lag for a slight advantage on the turtles)

I tried to skip this update cause it was taking forever and I just wanted to play with my friends locally and my HRAP would not work AT ALL for King of Fighters XII. Works perfectly fine for EVERY other game, including PS2 games. This 2 HOUR UPDATE better fix that shit or I’m burning SNK to the ground.

My games are very good…but why is it every time somebody’s on a slow connection (red), they’re playing Ash? Is it even possible that people haven’t forwarded their ports yet…and why do we not have a room for member battles? I get tired of leaving rooms when some fool with a red connection shows up starts beasting on superior players with the usual slow connection Ash tactics.

ok i’ll try that. Portforward.com is a fraud. That shit don’t work for me. I follow the instructions to the letter and my shit still isn’t forwarded correctly. I think it’s this old bellsouth modem I have that has a firewall i can’t turn off.:lame: I have the same problem with ggpo.:xeye: Maybe i’m missing or overlooking something in the directions on pf.com.:xeye:

All I know is sf4 doesn’t need to forward shit to get 4 bars or green bars. I still like the game despite my online woes. I think it’s a great game and I haven’t really played sf4 since it came out. I’ll try this last time to hook it up. If it doesn’t work then fuck it yo. I guess i’ll never understand how to forward my ports or enjoy online play.:xeye:

You’re probably doing something wrong. Anyways, try this link.

Well if you can supply a bit more info (modem, router model numbers) I am sure i can explain in a better fashion then pf.com… they are kinda generic in they tutorials…

Wow that comment section is like a crybaby haven. I don’t get why people gripe about the roster after buying the game and playing it even though the roster was revealed for months now.

Portforward is too good.

0-1 bar is fucking atrocious; it’s like playing underwater.

Not just that, dispite it being small by typical KoF standards its still larger than other fighting games such as BB…

So I dont get what the pissing and moaning is about, granted it would seem like there would be more since its 3v3 fights but Shrug who cares? in any game of this type there will always be the same characters repeated over and over so why have half a dozen extra fodder characters that noone ever uses?

Is anyone getting an occasional permanent hang on load after accepting a match?

It’s happening to me :frowning: Also the netcode isn’t fixed for the matches that don’t hang…

Yeah, I posted about it earlier, have gotten several more since too. Hadn’t gotten those till the new patch either, which is pretty disheartening.:confused:

To the guy who asked what type connections people were on: mine, PS3, is currently wireless, but my ports are forwarded and I don’t have any excessive troubles with other online games. I don’t expect optimal on wifi, but I do expect playable.

LOL, talk about giving you guys the digital finger after ripping you off guys. Maybe the game is good offline, but once again, SNK proves THEY DON’T CARE ABOUT ANY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS!

I know like I’m picking on you guys, but I’m not. I really wanted this to be different. I really really did. I wanted to justify picking up this game. I can’t now. SNK won’t ever get their stuff together, and this proves it. How many times have you guys complained to them? How many times have they said “we’re eager to hear your comments,” yet never do a thing when it matters?

I seriously hope they go under. And stay under. They deserve it.

If someone actually buys something from SNK willingly, and justifies it by saying “I’m trying to support SNK,” said person needs a lobotomy.

Most players that brought KOF12, brought it cause it has an excellent fighting engine. I played tons of online games today with a few friends and the games were with good connections. I even met new players with good connections that are now on my friends list. Once the XBL patch is out, its just going to get better.

Im not holding my breath though. As good intentions Ignition has, SNK is just plain old fucking stubburn. Ignition should’ve hired the GGPO guys to make the netcode, or hire them now to replace the netcode, I’m sure it could be done with SNK got their heads out of their ass. Leave SNK to work on the DLC, have Ignition work on the Netcode.

From your lips to God’s/SNK’s ears. Doubtful, though. From what I’ve read SNK isn’t really keen on western companies working on their shit, even though they’ve been consistently fucking up lately.

People have already said on the PS3 side that the patch did nothing to alleviate lag? Why would it get better? What is adding servers going to do to alleviate lag when the netcode still sucks? Nothing.

Like I said, offline with good players may be riveting, and the engine could be fine. But some of us don’t have the luxury of playing the game offline with good players. Every problem in ever XBLA game SNK has released has gone unfixed. Everyone who has complained about the netcode they’ve been using since Linus Torvalds released the first Linux kernel has been ignored. And everyone thought it would be different when KOF12 was released? I hoped it would, but I was realistic. Realistic kept $60 in my bank account, and kept me from swearing at my TV over SNK any more.

Its very well known that PSN network suffers more from lag than XBL. Thats why there was such a rush on the PS3 patch than X360. I have found tons of matches on XBL in very palayble form, SF4 levels of connections. Its too bad PSN patch didnt work as well as we all hoped it would but it will fair better on XBL. Besides who is to say this is the last patch?

Anyways, KOF12 is a excellent fighter. Vs, training, and Online is all i need. Any serious fans of good fighting engines would agree. If we want KOF13 to be released we need to support this good fighter.

I’m willing to bet this patch was merely appeasement on the side of SNK, and there won’t be anything afterward. I hope not, but it’s SNK, I know to be realistic.

If it gets playable on the 360 (Re: up to AT LEAST the quality of SF4), I might buy it later. But once again, I know better than to trust SNK to get up to par, so I figure the money that would’ve been spent on KOF12 will be used for other things.

Now if I had the kind of hardcore scene where I could play it offline with good players on the regular, maybe I would actually buy it regardless. If it’s a very solid fighter, then chance are I would enjoy it. Sadly, that’s not the case, and I would be forced to take this game online. If I’m only going to be disappointed by that aspect, why bother?

And once again, I reiterate, if SNK can’t get it together, and actually put decent work into their ports, and make sure that they cater to their fans, and make sure they are happy, WHY SHOULD WE ACTUALLY CARE IF THEY RELEASE ANOTHER GAME OR NOT?!

Care about companies who care about their fans. Why do you think Capcom is seeing big sales right now? Stop buying these port abortions because “LULZ IT’S SNK, MUS SUPPORT SNK ROFLCOPTERS!” Either they get the hint and change, or don’t and die.

I hope that’s not true because not only is that stupid… it’s fucking insane, a unborn fetus even knows that games in this day and age are mostly made to appeal to people in the West (and Europe) because that’s where the real money is, How many fucking developers from Japan don’t care about sells in places outside of Japan… oh I can think of one now :grrr:, I mean were not in the 80-90’s anymore where selling your game just in Japan was okay as the current Economic issue contradict’s it easily… you can’t stay in just Japan anymore and since this game is doing shit in the Arcades they should be almost exclusively focused on the USA, UK, and other places as well, I mean you’d have to be strung out on LSD and Crack simultaneously to not know that, and they’re being stubborn because a American developer wants to help?.. what the fuck??? man I wanna cut a nigga cuz I’m pissed :annoy:, it’s like they’re pissing away millions of dollars just because they can!!! WTF…

Well at least Ignition is trying because it seems SNK Failmore is too dickheaded to think correctly atm… sigh :wasted:

?? Edit: And I don’t blame Missing Person for not wanting to buy this game, hell you should go to Japan and slap them with a Pringle’s can for being so god damn stupid… seriously you should probably bargain bin that ho’ now seeing how they don’t give a shit :bluu:
