Bummer to hear about the netcode. Was MKvDC bad? I never played it.

As others noted, most of the impressions seem to be from the PS3 version. The PS3 version also installs the game as you play (during matches, loadings, etc.). So there's apparently some "conflict" between the game installing while playing online. While many jumped online the moment they opened the game.
Probably why I haven't had problems online (so far, aside the wireless/wired issue) ,I played a good amount of story, ladder and trainings..so I guess the arenas/data installed already. (My data size is currently at 3GB, was at 1GB around 12 hours ago). And my connection is 2MB; so is not like it's that fast (1.7 down, .3 up)
People are not saying which version they're playing, or if on the PS3 case they're playing after some data was installed or before. In the case of 360, some people has reported problems (with other games like Gears 2) trying to play online with the game installed on the HDD. And if there's any difference before and after. Or my thing with the wireless/wired connection, maybe others need to also change it to wireless..or something.
There are many variables, which is why I've been asking to put most of the talk of the online problems at the online thread. And see, compare, analyze. The netcode seems to be not stable (enough) yet, but if there are additional things also influencing the experience.

It was awful in it's own way. You'd get the usual delay plus the hit detection would be screwed up. It was unbelievable at times. This game doesn't get as glitched but the delay is probably worse. I would say MKDC on a good connection was better than this.
I suggest people on the fence think about past releases when the netcode impressions are mixed. We always hear give it time, the servers will be fixed, there's no lag, ect. Always. How often does it get better? yeaah...
It's heart breaking.

Havent bought a MK since MK 3 but got interest in this game due to it looking like classic MK.
Just a quick question.
For those with the game how does this compare with the past few 3D MK's??
I played Deception, Deadly Alliance, Armageddon, and MK vs DC and got bored of them rather quick.
I love fighting games but the 3D mortal kombats just felt so robotic and slow compared to the past 2d games.
Especially MK vs DC which literally was horrible in my opinion.
So to those who have it, just a quick overview does this MK feel more old school gameplay wise (like faster or more smooth) rather then the robotic garbage from the last few MK??

Sounds like you're trying pretty hard to rationalise. How many other games that had bad netcode day 1 went on to improve? Not many.
Things are still preliminary at this point though so I haven't completely decided against buying the game yet. It's still pretty early, so I'm open to the possibility that the current sample size is just small and that things aren't quite as bad for the majority. But yeah, things don't look good.

What are people's opinions on the air game?
I have never liked that everybody has universal air normals for the most part. Seems like whoever jumps in the air first wins no matter what, not considering priority.
Have to dig deeper if different characters have drastically different hitboxes on their jump attacks.
Is there meaty jump ins?
Also, the hit boxes/detection on jump attacks seems weird. I can't put my finger on it, it doesn't seem totally right. Like stuff will whiff (the air attack or the a ground attack trying to anti-air) when he visually seems like it shouldn't
IDK. Still have to get my Mk bearings I guess.
And yes, SC4 had shit netcode. Namco said they would fix it. they never did

Probably because my connection is not that fast enough, I've always looked for alternatives to play and have a decent experience, at least on my part.
MK vs DC Universe was just unplayable in my connection (laggy, no combos, nothing), at least in this one I can make 10 hits combos easily ,win, fatalities, etc.
(Currently with 24 victories and 14 losses and #70 on the Player Match board! :O!! ..was expecting 0-10 or something...guess ranked Match will be 0-10.. )At least on this one, they even said on the launch-party this past friday that their "big test" was after release, that they will seeing how things go as far as connection, glitches, etc. And that they'll be working on it as soon as they can.
Which reminds me I saw someone with 1000 wins / 1000 losses and 1000 respect points..so there may be other things that need fixing too; outside the netcode.
UPS was supposed to deliver this and portal 2 today, but if it hasn't arrived by now then they probably lost my package. They are never late, and the only day they didn't come on time is when they lost my shit. (Of course they never admitted to losing it, they just kept saying to wait till the next day. I told Amazon & they refunded me)

If you want to pick the alt colour of your fighter select your fighter with the start button. Also do not pick the CPU to be a female character when in practice mode...

Sadly I never got it Urleh, but keeping in tradition with my other pick up picture, keeping the twilight poster in.
I'd say you have poor taste because of Twilight, but that is far overshadowed by it being a poster for Alice (aka the only reason to watch the movies).
Reptile's mk1 costume is ace. Can we get some decent fatality motions list up in this thread? The spoiler thread is useless

Well, that's true, haha.
But if I remember correctly, at least the characters had different jump kicks in MK2. I think the ninja's had the worse ones? Shang, Baraka, Jax had good ones. Good in the sense, that they had higher priority when you jump kicked the opponent while close to them.
Plus Baraka's jumping punch was awesome

I think they fixed Tekken 6 net code in a post patch release? Or at least that's what I read. I never played that game either haha
