Man some of these matches are too much lol

 

[Nabs]

Should I bother making a thread for this SXSW thing? Feel like there are prob a lot of people who don't even know this is going on.

I think so. I think we keep too much locked into this thread to be honest.

 

[mbpm1]

Momochi's kara focus is working well for him.

Kara focus is so frickin fun to use

Is it only EG members that throw away their first game by picking one of their secondaries?

Rog and Justin at least have some success picking their secondaries.

Also why would you want Justin to pick Rufus.

Nuckledu isn't part of EG

 

[El Sloth]

Alright, I'll make a quick and dirty one and try to pretty it up later.

And y'all should be careful with that. Don't let FGW become like that one Rockband thread.

 

[KidA Seven]

Which is?

Daigo said a while ago that he thought Yun isn't as good because against the characters that are used in tournaments, the matchups aren't heavily in his favor. For example, Yun demolishing Sim in a matchup counts towards the overall placement of Yun in the tierlist, but the best players won't be using Sim so there is no point in using Yun's overall top 5 or so placement in the tierlist to say that Yun is indeed top 5.

I think Noel thinks that Daigo said Yun flat out sucks.

 

[Busaiku]

Both players are currently 0-6.

 

[Passive Assassin]

lpn playing the norcal way.

 

[enzo_gt]

Okay it's late and the week so, it's scramble for spotlight time!

Anyone willing & able to do the spotlight within the next two days? Also, people can nominate others they would like to see.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

I SWEAR TO GOD IF YOU THROW THIS KBRAD

huh interesting. Thanks

 

[ipitydatfu]

who is 0-6?

 

[Dahbomb]

Kbrad 1-6 DA DREAM!

Won against the only other 0-6 player in the bracket.

 

[DryEyeRelief]

Kbrad 1-6 DA DREAM!

Funnily enough it was the other player who used Cammy a lot in AE2012

 

[xCobalt]

1-5. They both have one more match to go I think.

 

[KidA Seven]

Yeah I think Valle fucked up

 

[RedEther]

This bias commentary lol

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

This bias commentary lol

I think it's mostly Ryan being biased towards Rose, but yeah no surprise they want Justin to win.

 

[Malice215]

Who let LPN in with these killers to begin with? 0-6 B O Y S

 

[DryEyeRelief]

He was probably Smug's replacement

 

[El Sloth]

Welp, here's a thread with the barest of essentials

 

[phaonaut]

Who's everyone planning to main in MKX? Assuming he's official, which seems likely, I'm going to use Erron Black. Unless you require intense execution to use him.

Going to go back to Cage first, but will prob give all characters a shot. The variations have been interesting and make some characters I would normally not use (eg Raiden) an interesting variation.

 

[FourMyle]

MURDAFACE!

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Tokido could play a perfect psychopath with that face.

 

[Professor Beef]

Gootecks also has a tendency to talk about tier lists all the time.

Oh god, is he turning into Magus?

 

[RedEther]

Tokido looking strong

 

[Malice215]

Here we go with the round stealing.

 

[Mr. X]

MKX with the region locked netcode

 

[El Sloth]

MKX with the region locked netcode

Did they say why they didn't just give players the option of playing only with their region or with others?

 

[Anth0ny]

region locked netcode


that sounds like something nintendo would think up


what's that doing in mortal kombat

 

[phaonaut]

MKX with the region locked netcode

Damn, I really hope the netcode doesn't suck. Where there censored versions on mk9? Could this be the reason why?

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

Damn, I really hope the netcode doesn't suck.

better hope hard.

 

[Karsticles]

I am still iffy on MKX. Goro being DLC pissed me off, since that would probably be my main.

 

[SquirrelSoup]

MKX with the region locked netcode

Same as Injustice again? That really sucks.

 

[direct_quote]

How bad is NRS netcode? Is it better or worse than UMvC3 netcode?

 

[Nabs]

Terribad on PC, I can't speak on the console versions. The worst I've experienced by far.

 

[Karsticles]

Significantly worse before release. No idea after it got patched.

The games are pretty simple. I am surprised they can't run rollback netcode.

 

[phaonaut]

MK9 was bad, games would freeze completely during the match sometimes. Injustice was better than MK9, but got worse as the player base became smaller.

 

[Smooth Operator]

I think MK9 had the worst netcode of the last generation (?)

 

[phaonaut]

KOF (360) was pretty high up also, but that could be because of the online population. Also Persona (360) pre patch was unplayable, post patch was fine though.

That and the overpriced kombat pack left a pretty sour taste in my mouth. Region locked netcode just seems like the shit cherry on top.

 

[TheChits]

It was really bad. Definite contender

 

[Smooth Operator]

Oh yes, KOF12, my god...

 

[Sayad]

Both SFV and T7 are moving to roll back netcodes, ASW and NRS need to make the move,

 

[alstein]

The PC netcode is better. the oldschool KOF netcode is around Blazblue quality, though with a low player base, much of which lives far far away.

 

[VariantX]

I think MK9 had the worst netcode of the last generation (?)

Yep, even in those so-called "good" matches, it was near impossible to react to stuff, you could only play in advance and hope you guessed your opponent's next move right. Tekken 6 was pretty damn bad too.

 

[Kumubou]

Oh yes, KOF12, my god...

This "wins" (as much as anyone can win by having such awful online), holy shit KoF XII online was an "experience". For games people haven't mentioned already, Aquapazza at launch of the JP version was nearly as bad (although it improved to a more mundane levels of bad with the US/EU release). T5R and Tekken 6 online was hilariously bad, as well. The jump in quality for online play from SC4/T6 to SC5/TTT2 is staggering.

 

[direct_quote]

I think the fact that NRS spent more time adding single player features than working on the netcode is kind of unsettling to me. It's like the game is packaged to appeal to people who will buy it and play it for a month and quit, not for the people who stick around and play it online all the time. In this day and age there really is no excuses to release games with subpar netcode.

They know the real money is from people who guy the game day 1 via pre order, play the single player game for a week and move on to the next big budget AAA pre-order bull shit game.

Hence the pre-order bonuses and season passes.
