For folks wanting to know exactly what is up with the USF4 PC version now:
1) There is now far less Waiting For Opponents message spam and stutter in general.
2) However, the "fix" for this was to simply make it harder for those messages to pop up - i.e. they made the game more willing to lag before it throws a red flag and tries to sort out the connection.
3) When searching for lobbies, the game will freeze several times.
There has been no netcode fix. There has been a number modified in the netcode to make the game happier about the lag. And there are now new issues to make online on PC even more unpleasent than it was pre-patch - issues that were in the PC Beta and widely reported.
How many wake-up reversal ultras?![]()
Longer sets are great up until the point everyone goes on autopilot. Then it's just useless and not very interesting. FT7 or FT10? Sure. FT50? Fuck that. I used to run FT100s back when I was grinding out games and by about game 100 your brain is just cooked.
When I used to run sessions here more frequently I would run either timed sets (so that two people would play for a half hour or an hour and then everyone would rotate) or a fixed number of games (usually 11) before rotating in a semi-set pattern. Winner stays is wack in a more casual environment unless you can't avoid it.
It can get pretty boring if you outclass the other player and they're not really making any headway against you. I've only had this happen against a couple of my friends though. They don't care about getting better really. Yet switching characters on those guys, to give them a chance or stave off boredom, really pisses them off lolI love playing long sets. Being outmatched is ok too- some hyperbolic time chamber shit.

You can get street pass challenges just by doing practice tho
Boring wouldn't be the right word in that situation, would it? More like, is it too frustrating? No, for either one. Well, depending on the game I guess (and if it's a Blanka or Fuerte player)!Is it boring for you if you are outclassed? Would you just stop the set?

Damn. I'm only at 85/105. Did classic with everyone, but I'm really dreading doing Smash Run more than anything else. At least with shit like 100-Man Smash I can dick around and learn some of these characters more in-depth.I am at 96/105 challenges. A few will come in time, like getting 1000 KOs and 50 hours of play.
Then I have to make the miserable decision:
All-Star Mode with everyone?
All-Star Mode with 15 characters?
100-Man Smash with everyone?
Get all custom parts?
Get all Smash Run powers?
I have already cleared Classic and Smash Run with everyone (NEVER AGAIN).
I have no words.
It really depends on how good I am at the game. If I feel like I'm good enough to at least understand and try to work through what an elite player is doing, I'll keep playing as it'll be interesting trying to work through the layers of tactics involved, like an onion. If I'm not that good though, I'll just get wiped and not understand why and it's not really interesting.Is it boring for you if you are outclassed? Would you just stop the set?
umm wowIn news I'm pretty sure no one here cares about, Examu announced their next project: Arcana Heart 3: Love Max: Six Stars!!!!!!. (What the heck at that title...) One new exclamation point and one new character, who... uh... a) looks like a rejected character from Kill La Kill and b) I'm not even sure I could post on here.

In that situation I feel it becomes sort of like a puzzle I have to solve, which I think is pretty fun! "Why do I keep getting hit by that? What's wrong in my approach? Is there something I'm overlooking? What are my options when he puts me in this specific situation? Am I being baited?" etc and so on. After a certain point though my brain shuts off and I go into auto pilot which then becomes unfun.
And I do worry sometimes that I'm too boring for the other guy lol
I don't think I have enough room for more fight sticks. I have two TEs (one 360, one PS3) and they're fucking huge. Takes up so much space.
How do you do it, Markman?
markman is also a sneakerhead
so i just imagine his house is built out of shoe boxes and arcade stick boxes

I like easy opponents sometimes. It lets me experiment with new stuff without worries. I will still win. If I have too many, my skills will degrade, though.It can get pretty boring if you outclass the other player and they're not really making any headway against you.

^ these are just my more recent ones, mostly... I was too lazy to get all the boxes in one pic...
It has consumed me and my home.
I have around 400 arcade sticks, lol. I have NEVER gotten a picture of them all together though, that would be a task for sure. I have about 200 pairs of shoes now too >.>
I have boxes all around me. SEE!

I'd post pics of my sticks but you guys probably seem em already lol.
I once played 146 matches straight with someone, and I vowed to never do it again. Good learning experience, but I literally had to stop playing because I was feeling physically ill, and there was a weird moment mid-match where I realized I had more or less stopped thinking. Needless to say, I've limited myself to 50-75 games total at most from that point on(because long sets rule, but too long of a set is just not a good thing).Longer sets are great up until the point everyone goes on autopilot. Then it's just useless and not very interesting. FT7 or FT10? Sure. FT50? Fuck that. I used to run FT100s back when I was grinding out games and by about game 100 your brain is just cooked.

We had some fun sets, that's for sure. I find that getting put into the blender by someone, for me, is the best way I learn. Forces me to adapt, so long as I don't want to just lose all the time. lolDante/Strider mirrors with Frantic were some of the most fun shit I've done with a GAF member in any game. Even moreso when I was new to Marvel just because I'm the type of guy that cracks up seeing what kind of blender I can get put into by others before coming up with my own. :lol
MarkMan do we need to hold an FGC-GAF intervention for you
Now all you have to do is get an all white sneaker room with glass shelves for all your kicks.
I have boxes all around me. SEE!

You just have to find the time. I am working 60 hours a week and am in school. Squeeze an hour in before bed, etc. I have to afford myself some small pleasure.holy shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit lol
God damn, with school I barely have time to play the game at all, let alone go through these insane challenges.
Maybe I do this stuff when the Wii U version drops... that's close to winter break, too.
It's just an announcement for a online tournament in AH3:LM they're streaming on Nico then.What's it say about the PS3 version on the 18th?
It's just a netplay taikai for LOVEMAX!!!!!, nothing exciting like porting the new update.What's it say about the PS3 version on the 18th?

Your cipher is complete for the rest of your life. Damn. I should check up on Sneakerhead-GAF and see what's good with Jordan brand for the near future. Always miss out on the good things and find out 3 days after I come into some money. :lol

lol, as someone who is new to Smash and was having hard time getting into the game, ZSS saved the game for me. She feels like a traditional fighting game character, more so than anyone else I tried. Fast normals, projectile, dive kick, SRK, her general movement and recovery on most attacks is excellent but most importantly, fucking hit confirms. Only negative is that her hop is just a bit higher than I'd like it to be, the other character I played a lot with is Megaman and his hop feels perfect, like a KoF hop.At the very least, tonight I got confirmation that Zero Suit Samus is the HBIC.
When they thought zero new characters arcanas (but five exclamations points) was worth a new retail release? Good luck with that.Knew it was too good to be true lol
but I mean one character and Arcana (and exclamation point) is patch/dlc tier

There is that too. If I were a newbie picking up Marvel 3 recently, I can't imagine it'd be much fun or helpful in playing against a veteran ZMC player. Or a Skullgirls newbie running into a seasoned Painwheel/Bella player who locks the new guy down in the corner and starts hitting him with lighting fast resets that look like one long combo. I wouldn't understand what was happening in either situation.It really depends on how good I am at the game. If I feel like I'm good enough to at least understand and try to work through what an elite player is doing, I'll keep playing as it'll be interesting trying to work through the layers of tactics involved, like an onion. If I'm not that good though, I'll just get wiped and not understand why and it's not really interesting.
That's true, it does give me a chance to experiment with characters I wouldn't normally play. Get a chance to better understand how they work.I like easy opponents sometimes. It lets me experiment with new stuff without worries. I will still win. If I have too many, my skills will degrade, though.

Fighting Rosalina is annoying, but goddamn can she not take a punch. My Ike and Zard were giving an online player some lessons last night.
Smash came out already?

Man I can do ft100s in Puyo Puyo of all things and usually not get bored.
