I'm getting a lot of this. Lots of 360 spam and a lot of times can't really avoid it when multiple people do it at the same time.

Holy shit at the last Free Mission in White Side.
Seems that way. There's the hard lock with the left bumper (assuming L1 on PS3) and then there's the soft-lock in game with the crosshair. Not sure if you can disable the soft-lock or not.
Yeah, if you want to target a certain person or enemy in a group, it's probably best to just turn off the hard lock on and maybe turn it on again when you're closer to them.
Except for the first time a tornado rolls through. I was all holy shit in the middle of an intense brawl when I get transported near a bay where my character is clueless and there's suddenly some sea gull noises.
How do the miniature cage matches work? A friend of mine was doing a Battle Royal in the simulator and entered an isolated cage match with one of the bots, something I hadn't seen before. Is it just some random event that targets two players? I haven't played a lot of Battle Royale, admittedly.
There's an item you can pick up that will cause you to get into a cage match with the next person you start fighting with.

I've come to the realization that I do better in smaller matches.

Just hard lock and free camera to my knowledge.
The tracking on moves when not locked on isn't very good so I hesitate to call it "soft lock on"
and yeah as someone else said it's best serviced by toggling it on and off. Lock on can really mess you up in certain situations so its best to learn to be conscious of it.
Alright. It's official.
I don't get this game.
I'm getting thrown from full screen by mid size characters like jack or max, my combos NEVER go through, I'm getting stunned out of wake up, My HT attacks either always miss or do zero damage, I hit people with my jumping heavy and it hits, does no damage, no stun, and becomes a complete opener, the camera OFTEN gets stuck in simple objects like the cage....
It literally feels like I'm playing a different game from everyone else. It feels like half the time, the result of my inputs are completely random.

I think those things happen when you have a bad connection.
That's all I've had so far. Feels terrible.

Wow getting chain grabbed by big bull in a tag match with seemingly no way to break the constant grabs is not fun.
I would love to be able to counter it but the lag is horrific.

Next time you join a game tap down on the right thumb stick twice. I'll show you how strong your connection is.

Just beat the campaign starting on Black Side. Why can't I replay White Side Stage 4 or Black Side
? Don't tell me I have to start from White Side to replay those.
Also, what does getting platinum medals in all missions unlock?

You have to complete all the side missions to unlock it in free mode.
No idea why you can't play Jack's Red Side. but to play Leo's you do have to start from White
Or the import thread or the demo thread etc. It's mostly an issue because of how damaging grabs can be I think.

That's why I want to replay it. I screwed up and did the missions out of order and lost track of a side mission.

Got any tips for me when I do start playing? Been swamped with assignments and stuff for now so I've got the game a week back but have been unable to play pretty much anything. So hopefully I'll know some things when I go online.
Do most prefer to unlock characters online or through story mode?
Which characters is pretty much the one people appear as online and why?
Is there any things I should be wary of? Glitches and cheap moves?
Are there any Tier rankings now?

You can set region. You can also do private rooms (custom match). Bar level is something that is fluid, it changes constantly, so it would be hard to filter.
BTW - Rank 50 isn't that big a deal. It means you've been playing for a while. But if you are smart, you can get to rank 50 in about 25 minutes.

It's always at full bars.
I tried playing outside Europe to find more players but that was pointless, getting grabbed by invisible people but no animation triggering so staggering in and out of control.

Your connection will always show as full. What you want to look at is the connection for everyone else. That will show how good the connection is between you and someone else.
You can unlock in online too. Reviews are getting that wrong.

Cool.
I think he's one of the best characters in the game
I was originally hard on him when I first started playing because his kit lends itself well to really really stupid play.
But I haven't seen him at all since US release. I think I'm going to try playing him after finishing Fei Rin's emblems.(finished Bayo's last night)
Every game has been this way thus far. Hell, I just got comboed by invisible people that apparently were across the entire map.
If this is how it's gonna be, this game isn't worth playing until the netcode gets fixed.
That's really frustrating. I was looking so forward to this game and to have the online be this marred...I feel like I have no control over anything that actually happens.
You know, if it happens every single time, there's a good chance the problem is on your end.

What do those spinning square boxes do during story mode? Is there any way to activate or open them or whatever?
When the lights are going crazy, you can attack them to get an item.
It's like a slot machine that gives you random items. Just keep killing enemies and you can get it to work. Can't remember if it was just in missions or in the "free" part where all the mission indicators are. Pretty sure it's only in the latter area. You'll see a dialogue line when it happens (like when black holes appear and the like).
No other games have this problem. Hell, KOF13 works well for me. It's definitely not on my end.
I'll keep playing but damn this is frustrating. I can't tell if I'm doing something wrong or the netcode is messed up, there's almost no feedback on how the match is structurally holding up. I feel like I can't actually learn what I'm doing wrong because I'm not getting any reliable feedback from the game.

I don't know what to tell you then
doesn't happen to me every game. or anyone else I've ever met/played.

See, things can happen when you "ask your mom."

Yeah I can see what you mean but I like the fact he has some solid guaranteed stuff and a little bit of everything as far as options go.
His grab range feels a bit much but EHHH FUCK IT
If you notice everyone lagging than it's definitely you, but if it's just like a person then they are probably the one lagging.
I was getting pretty upset because a Durgan player kept killing me with 360 spam and it seemed like there were no recovery frames.
Nope, wired, Comcast, 25 down 15 up, nothing else going on. It's only this game.
It's probably just two or 3 bad people throwing me off, but In the heat of the moment, you can't tell what's happening because I get snatched out of the air by someone's late grab.
Do you have open NAT?
And are you really getting 25d/15u speeds? Check against multiple US servers on Speedtest and see how you do.

So anything specific I should know while going through the story mode? It seems you gotta collect five pieces of art from those blue boxes and kill 100 enemies to get a skill, anything else? Do you get anything from killing more than 100 enemies?
