I wonder what happened between SC2 and SC3 that made Namco want from a multiplatform release to a PS2 exclusive N
and not on arcade first.

the guy playing juicebox who was lagging apparently had 120 / 12 and was in the US.
Son I bought KOFXIII 3 times and was only hoping that XIV wouldn't shit the bed right of the gate, apparently we couldn't even hope for that.
edit: the stream was socal, some people were talking about a nico stream earlier though
Sucks to suck. I still have the collector's edition coming.

I've been listening to the Jump-In Podcast which is Logan-Sama, Kim1234, and Shady K backwards. It's pretty funny hearing them pretty bitter about the state of the game, and then hearing earlier podcast where they feel more optimistic about SFV.

Meanwhile, Rip is playing Tag 2 against someone from Australia: https://www.twitch.tv/levelupyourgame
What's crazy is that it apparently sold best on the GC as well, probably thanks to Link.
There was a chance for me if the net code was good. I'm done buying games just for the lab if they're not cheap.

What he said. For KoF to work with delay based netcode, it would need to no longer be KoF. I also believe the minimum startup of any move is 10 frames in Tekken on top of the input delay they added to help online play.
Predictabou !
I double dipped on KoFXIII, console + PC. What I got was a shitty and a shitty+ netcode. If developpers won't listen, the blame is on them.

At first I thought you meant Mai Shiranui, and I thought to myself "that girl's getting around".
I guess it's a character from the visual novel. I'll have to look for screenshots later.
I'm hearing reports that it's both good and bad. I heard a poster on SRK say he got a bunch of laggy matches, and then a whole bunch of smooth matches.
Sounds like it might be like SF4's netcode, but that's just me.
Funny how when positive impressions of the netcode popped up people immediately wrote them off as suspicious and referred to the MVC3 pre-launch situation but the moment there are negative impressions people seem to have no issues accepting them.
I'll wait for launch and then post launch patches.
SFV had literally broken and unplayable online play at launch despite a whole bunch of beta testing and iirc people were also having issues with GG's netcode and wanted patches, and that's from a company known to have decent netplay.

sweet, love Mai's ridiculous new design. I also called it when that design was first shown for the new manga

Everybody called it when they redesigned Mai for the manga.

Mai Natsume playable? Oh hell yes, Central Fiction. My new main is settled. Sorry Bullet/Platinum, but I gotta play this character. Here's hoping Mai gets to lick folks to gain abilities and pass off penalties like in the manga.
Plus now Noelle's "DEATH DINNER" can make a comeback
People love Link so there's no surprise there.
With arcades dying, how well SC performed in arcades compared to how much popular it was on console, and with the GC/Xbox on the decline probably lead to that decision to do a straight to console release for SC3 and focus more on the casual crowd. Then the console release being hot ass cheeks probably lead to the decision to fix those problems in an arcade release.
I think people would be less negative about the game if we didn't have to wait until after Capcom Cup for a rebalance. Until there's a massive shake up, people are going to be bitter and miserable instead of seeing the positive which is that the core game is solid, a ton of people are competing in the pro tour, and the game has better online than KOF XIV.
Plus SF games are usually cheeks in their first iteration, so people have to give the game time.

Not the Mai that I was expecting to hear about, but she thick doe.
Lol, really? You have to use an unreleased KOF to try to make SFV good? A game that had a craptacular launch and has had netcode patches galore since launch with people still complain about the netplay?
Balance isn't the issue with SFV, that portion of the game is a very good effort by Capcom.
Wolfkrone being first and the only ultra diamond, him getting there by rage quitting and being unrepentant about it is some hilarious shit.

Played online for 2 hours (KOFXIV)
No issues so far (Played against someone from my town on optic fiber, just like me, and someone from another town in France). Standard delay based netcode on both sides (Hd confirms ok, antiair on reaction ok, but there's a delay, obviously).
Now i don't know how it will work on your shitty Internet in the US.

The developers are secretly Geese of netcode.
GEEEEESE!!
They're both thick, y'know?

let krone live tbh, there was only that one video of a RQ that could've been a disconnect tbh
dude streamed for like 8 hours straight gaining and losing points without a RQ on his main and 2nd account tbh
tbh
I dunno, Mike Ross does that more than Wolfkrone...
Yeah, the biggest problem of fighting game netcode is the shitty infrastructure here in the US. I wish it was more on par with Japan so we don't have to deal with this with every single game at launch.

They are just re-hosting famitsu's own preview images.
Nice, hopefully they will act quick after launch with patching like they did with Last Blade 2.

Well what's he going to do, compare SFV to a complete game? That would be unfair.
lol, good point.

He's been rage-quitting since SF4. I doubt it was a disconnect. Good player but has the attitude of a complete scrub.

Gonna take a wild guess and say that half of those voters never played much, if any, of 3S
Most likely and also listened to Jay Viscant's or Maximilian's words.
It's still a fantastic Street Fighter game. Sure, it wasn't the easiest SF game, but it sure as hell felt rewarding. I still remember playing it & MvC2 at my local bowling alley when I was little (though MvC1 was my first fighting game....& I think first game in general).
