Spent 20 mins searching for a casual match with connections set to 3-5 bars.

Not a single match.

Is this game actually dead?

It's Sunday morning in EU and people are sleeping in the US, what are you expecting?

EDIT - I'm EU and I'm getting lots of games right now by the way.

MM is faster when I'm in the lab. Getting lots of games there and quick, bit slower when I do it from the menu.

Shoutouts to Capcom's penalty system. I intentionally disconnected three times earlier today; once at the very start of of the match when a 5-bar connection (against someone from a neighbouring country) turned out to be unplayable due to extreme lag and the other two well before the VS screen even transpired. End result is being banned from matchmaking for 24 hours and losing 1000 LP.

Through Casual Matches.

Oh, and to add insult to injury: I'm having no luck whatsoever finding anyone who isn't from an Asian country (when I'm from EU) via Battle Lounges right now when neither ping bars nor flags care to load up for 95% of the players. Still. Ever since launch day. Which over half a year ago. My fault to a degree to even be put in this position and lesson learned I suppose, but god damn what a mess.

Are you sure it doesn't just feel faster because you're doing stuff instead of sitting around waiting? As the old adage says, time flies when you're practicing v- trigger cancels.

I wonder if the load times also eat up some of the time you'd be waiting somehow.

Why would you quit at the VS screen? Twice? You earned that one.

So the penalty system is working great as intented? Good to hear.

Battle Lounges definitely need a huge fix. It kinda works but it can take way too long to find any decent connections.

You're complaining about being punished for intentionally disconnecting three times?

Problem is Crab I know you're saying "Casual Matches" but XP and FM is earned there too.

You three are all missing the key distinction of being punished when two out of the three games didn't even start, never mind not even reaching the VS screen.

If I did in the middle of the match, it'd be a moot point. That should go without saying.

and this system would be the perfect way to do it!

dunno what's the hold up. at the same time it would make jumping in better too

The priority system is about trades. Anti-air jabs rarely do that. Wouldn't change anything.

But why would you quit at the Vs screen? That's when you see your oppenents rank and character for the first time. That should count as a ragequit.

Forgot to post the first part of the parry gif from yesterday with that Urien.

Had him crouching in the corner after that lol. Then ofc he tried the FB game and lost to more parries which you guys saw. Some MU make me cry but boy do I love Alex.

If you got booted twice (which sucks) and then decided to quit one match due to lag, unfortunately it is a known thing you'll get punished for it that next one.

You took the risk :(

Edit: I'm tired and misread, wait so you chose to quit before the game started on two matches. Then yeah that counts as a quit and the system worked, it was loading you both in.

Try catch sonic booms with lk chain or with dolphin dive. Latter is riskier but works sometimes. Also f.HP is decent way to get in at certain distances if they throw a lot of booms. When you do get in just stay close and keep the pressure.

You definitely need to get penalized if you quit at VS. screen. It would create situation where people could just skip any MU that they are not comfortable with or skip matches they 'know' they will lose. It could not count when the screen is still black but why really make a diffrence there.

Why you even quitted before the versus screen anyways?

No, I didn't. I specifically stated in both posts that I did so before the VS screen even transpired.

And for added context: I acted as such because Capcom's filtering cannot comprehend simple mathematics. I enabled 'Ask' for 4 - 5 connections only, it gave me a 2-bar result twice, I rectified my error of twitch accepting (since it does follow the desired criteria 90% of the time) by closing the game well before (emphasis: BEFORE) it got past the "Another match is coming your way" screen. Don't think the voice-over even finished the sentence, to boot.

Being punished for the first match with the over-the-top lag is logical (if still out of my control due to misleading information) so that never was my point of contention, but being penalized for the other two examples is utterly nonsensical.

Well that is a bit much I agree. But then again it was Casuals and the connection bars are lies anyways so you don't really lose anything for accepting it and going through couple of rounds. Those matches could have actually been very decent connections. I also don't think the connection quality limiter works if you use 'Ask for confirmation' and is meant for the auto confirm.

A guy on a stream got penalized for being disconnected while in the menus 3 times, there wasn't even a message that he was going to fight. It is very silly.

I chose ask for 5 bars only yesterday and even though it took longer to find matches my experience was much better overall, no point in fighting in constant rollbacks which is what i get usually. I might as well go to the lab more, it is a better way to spend my time than being frustrated from the lag. I suspect i was lucky though and wait times were not ridiculous.

This is really weird, a lot (not all) of people I fight in my own country (uk) are laggy as hell. Do you any of you get this from time to time?

I'd rather fight everyone else ha!

Maybe a lot of them happen to use wifi?

Those are the only ones i have laggy matches against from my country.

edit: ah you said uk where there are a lot of players, probably some routing problem then.
