GGPO just raped me. I clearly beat a guy, the game said KO and I heard his yell. Then it rolled back and I got a Super and I died. It was the same wtf feeling I got when I heard Sega doing Shenmue online.

But isn't GGPO the answer for everything? Isn't an online fighter worthless if the online doesn't use GGPO?!? /sarcasm

The 10 FPS Backbone inspired menus are janky. The newjack intro music is lame compared to the original. The rapper in the original 3rd Strike was tremendous- really cool shit. That guy had gravitas. Why replace it with a pale imitation when you already had the real thing? Removing the original intro cinematic is another strange choice.
I waited a few minutes for a ranked match before bailing.
The stretched upscaled static screens look decent but... stretched. Kind of ruins it.
The achievement progress flashing on the side of the screen is another strange choice. I didn't find the option to turn it off, but I only had a minute or so to play around with options.
My first impressions are not good.

The problem with GGPO rolling back so severely is only really noticeable if you have a crappy connection. It's a more reliable way of keeping the game in sync, without controller lag and across greater distances, but when the game has to rollback because one or both connections went to hell, this is what happens.
I still want to know what magic ASW uses for their online because BB is still the goddamned king, GGPO or anything else.

All the complaining really sounds like exaggeration and nit picking. All I wanted out of this was online play w/spectating and 3s gameplay. That's it. If they deliver those, it's worth what I'm paying for it. Netcode is a big issue, and if there are real legitimate problems (and not just people with fisher price internet), then hopefully they'll patch it soon.
Tell your friend to stop being terrible at Street Fighter. SFIV made him lazy. I hate people who complain like this when their execution is fucking atrocious.

If you like playing in 2-4 player rooms or something with random people, this version might be annoying.
If you play with 1-2 people on your FL, it becomes easier to keep the player numbers down.
Another thing that makes it annoying playing with random people is the fact that Gill isn't banned by default. -.-

Damn. I'm looking hard to see what I can trade in to get Live Gold & points. Look at my DS Lite, just sitting there, unplayed for months now. Oh man. But that Aliens game looks dope. But wait, my daughter has a DS Lite. Can always play on hers. But wait, it's in terrible shape and my polar white launch one is pristine. Oh man. Third Strike, what are you doing to me??

I don't really see how. Create a room with 4 private slots. Is it an ideal situation? No, but I don't see it as a gamebreaker. Maybe they can patch it down the line to display # of private slots in a lobby, but otherwise it is functionally the same thing. People will just have to join lobbies based on the current number of players rather than the total number of slots.
The thing is, as far as I understand. You can't decide how many players can join a lobby. It's always max (8). But you can set how many private slots you want.GuardianE said:
If you set private slots to 3, you can have 3 friends and the rest is filled with randoms.
EDIT: Ohhh. You meant that you can enter private slots as a pseudo player limiting. Smart.

Nope, this is a perfect example of overreaction. The core game isn't just good, it's great imo.
The menu/UI is nowhere near that bad, but I have a CTR still and it's pretty much the original game. This version has a lot of things that were lacking in previous version or even any other modern Capcom FG. It doesn't have a couple of things like fight request while you play arcade mode, but nothing is perfect anyway.GGPO is designed to attempt to lock down game speed as much as possible, which runs into problems if the connection quality simply isn't sufficient to allow this. This is in contrast to BlazBlue/Arcana Heart netcode which is more flexible with game speed to provide a more playable experience, but if you have an iffy connection you're still going to be a little underwater and it won't be the same pace, fluidity, and timing as offline even though it's a league above SF4 and MVC netcode.patrickthehedgehog said:

Man, this GGPO netcode.
Been playing players matches for a couple hours. There is too much stuttering, and teleporting and phasing around. There is no lag, but this stuff is annoying.
Like I just played this Alex player. He magically teleported in front of me and Hyperbombed me. And I played a Necro a few minutes ago, and it was like the Benny Hill song in match. We kept skipping around the screen, lol.
I don' t have a super crap connection (it's 3.16 mbps upload), so I don't know why it is doing this. Some matches are better than others of course.

Yeah, the more I play it the more I realise the core game is amazing. But yet again Capcom has fucked up and failed to transpose the best elements of their other fighting games into this one.
Spec mode and GGPO are good. But a ghetto training mode where you can't even record set-ups, 8 player force lobbies, lobbies which don't display banned characters or private slots in search menus, laggy lobby searches, a complete lack of matchmaking filters (e.g. by country/region, by lobby size), Youtube uploads which look like absolute shit... all that stuff is disappointing. Capcom are their own worst enemy. It amazes me how much they manage to sabotage their fighting games.

going from SF4 to this (after not playing SF3 for a few years) really fucks your game up :lol SF4 is so forgiving compared to this game
GGPO netcode is fine when the other person isn't playing on tin can internet, and wireless stolen from some guy down the street. No netcode can mask dropped packets, and keep up with lack of speed transmission.
Also fuck Gamespy. It ruined matchmaking for me once again, and it's very unplayable. I think I'll go back to GGPO until they remove the game.

Posted yet? From Twitter looks like Fubarduck gives the thumbs up to timing on the 360 version. Shame to hear that about the PS3 version.

Capcom are their own worst enemy because of craptastic management right now. Hate Inafune all you want, but he knew what was going on before leaving and you can see all those fuck up in EVERY GAME they make right now. I'm sure Derek Neal wanted more for this game, but management has a huge influence on his game since: they are the one giving him the money. The less money for the project, less time for testing or squashing bug or polishing every options, etc.
That won't stop me from playing since this is a better game than any version of SFIV or MvC3 imo.

I'm pretty good at SSF4, but I'm struggling to get through the SF3 single player.
I don't dare to go online
It's really not the same. Gill on 3 star difficulty was probably harder than any player I've ran into online so far. lol
