Sp00ky with a goatee? Are we sure that this is Sp00ky and not his evil twin?

So, a few more impressions. Really quite a fun game. I played a few private matches with my brother. Neither of us has particularly impressive internet connections. I was fine almost the whole way, except for a couple 1 second freezes. He must have froze two, because he didn't take advantage of the time. No lag for me, but he says he had lag when I invited him, so he invited me the rest of the way with no problems.
Game is very fun playing against someone your own skill level. That is to say- someone who also sucks and doesn't know any of the special moves or how to put together combos. Can't wait to get my stick and start building up some skill.
Also, Walmart Tournament edition won't get her until Thursday, but they did comp me 20 bucks for complaining about it. I was hoping for like 5, so I'm pretty stoked about this. Of course I had to pay tax, but even with that it basically works out to the $10 off Best Buy is doing.

I defeated someone doing nothing but Sheeva's teleport stomp. The second round he did nothing but stand there and scream, "YOU SUCK".
Hahahaha
I love fighting games.

Ranked matches are hard to get into for some reason. So far my best matches as far as lag have been private matches. Still get a lot of dysnc's though.

Yea...they need to fix the controller setup ASAP. That wastes crazy amount of time. I thought Marvel's setup was lacking...

title update 1 needs a new button setup interface
Morn said:
well if the netcode is not up to par, then I will borrow the game from my friend and complete story mode and do the challenge tower and move on from this game. I hope it gets patched, I want to play this online competitively like I played SFIV/SSFIV (those games lasted me for over 2 years).

What is "wrong" with the regular button setup? Isn't it the same as all the other MKs? Noob here. (Well, actually I have been around since MK1, but I was young then, and have never been very good, and haven't played any of them in years).

I agree the button setup method is real shitty, why can't it be some straight forward setup?
Saying that though I think one of the upcoming MK tournaments next month is limited to the KE stick only, so no button setups required there, but custom sticks at evo will be a mess.

Okay, so it is the customization method that sucks. I thought you were referring to the basic PS3/360 dpad controller.
Why? Is is just presets like some games do? As in you can choose one of four options or something? As opposed to choosing say front punch, and then pressing the button you want to choose to program it?

Do all top players use an arcade stick?

Ugh I wasn't going to spend money on this because I have Portal 2 coming via Amazon, but damn I'm watching the stream and it's making me want to go out and buy it. I was gonna wait until it dropped in price or there was a deal on it, but my will is breaking. Decisions, decisions.

No, but most do for SF and Marvel and stuff.
There'll probably be a bigger percent of pad players for MK tho.
MThanded said:
I don't understand the hate with the buttons.
You go to config, quickly smack in what you like and done.
That said...I'm kinda enjoying playing with my pad more than my stick right now. It's kinda hard to reach the block button for me (especially being inexperienced with a stick)

Picked the game up this afternoon. Off to the gym then back home to wreck some shit (or most likely get wrecked)
The "Katalog" inside has me feeling like a 13 year old again. I had to calm myself down to not go out and buy the stick, soundtrack, strategy guide and MK t-shirt.

In MvC3 you're able to program your buttons by pausing during a match. So people are able to plug in their stick (or controller) and program the layout the way they want and then quickly test that layout before going to the character select. It just allows for very quick transitions from match to match. With the way MK is setup people are going to have to back all the way to the controller menu every time a new player comes up.

I've been playing the 360 version online for a few hours now, I've had 0 lag problems. The only problem I have is that everyone is Subzero\Ryu or Scorpion\Ken all over again. Good thing is no one can defeat my Kitana

It's a small inconvenience if you only have to do it once, but doing it every round in a tournament, followed by the inevitable button check round takes up lots of time in tournaments. Some games like Soul Calibur and Blazblue let you configure them on the character select screen, and games like ST HDR simply allow you to press the button as it corresponds to your desired action. Setups like those increase the flow of tourneys.FINALBOSS said:

What's the framerate for the game at 1080p? Sure as hell doesn't feel like 60...
