Awesome, thanks for the confirmation.
No probs!
I just went into offline vs and counted how long the loading times are there, and from when I pressed X and picked the stage to when the match screen popped up was about 6.5 seconds. This was with 3on3, all different teams and the dojo stage.
That's an improvement, right?
EDIT: This is with the game installed.

Tried to find a random, installed offline match to compare, took about 8 seconds to load.
Ah, I see. Thanks.
Might not have been that much of an improvement offline then, if at all.
Wow. You guys can Forget what I've said about the netcode.
As I mentioned earlier, I suddenly started having slowdowns, even in 4 bar matches. Well, I decided to try and play directly via the modem, instead of via the router (the ps3 was in dmz btw) and the slowdowns and random lag spikes are gone!
I'm gonna give it a couple of matches to see how I feel about the delay, but it is better. I'm just so glad that I finally know why it acted so weird.
Gonna try to play around with the dns to see if that's what's causing it.

Same here, but I'm eager to try out the patch. I see that the color unlock DLC came out for 360...is up for PS3 too? I actually want to get it since I cannot seem to unlock colors on the PS3 version, whereas all the characters I use on 360 got everything unlocked really fast.
The patch fixed the color unlock bug but you can unlock it for $2.99.
I bought it ^__^-d (PSN)

That's means that I cannot play in college, fail.
Hrm, I don't think that this is something that has affected others, rather that it is my own network that's causing the issue.
The thing is that I had these problems before the patch came out and I haven't heard about anyone else having these problems.
I don't think that you should be worried about it.

I see, but still, don't play on wireless guys.
Oh no no, I'm not playing on wireless. ^^

Played my first match, 3 bars, on wireless college connection.
Slowdowns a plenty, however I didn't have much of a problem with input lag. Or at least the slowdown was so bad I couldn't do anything fancy. It felt like playing a bad GGPO match.
Managed a DC combo with Mature, couldn't play Liz worth shit. I wasn't frustrated like in Tekken 5: DR. So there's that.
I blame wireless.
Set the latency to four in practice mode and couldn't find anyone after 10 minutes beforehand, so I went to quick match, which was the match I played.

Slightly better then before, so like a low end 3 bar.
I'm not that fancy with combos so I'm probably impacted less, except when playing Hwa Jai, I have a hard time getting his Drunken Loop.

For what it's worth, I was able to get in a 1-bar match, and I'd say that it had the same amount of lag as a 2-bar connection pre-patch. Oddly enough, the game didn't pause to do that whole "Synchronizing..." bit like it used to. I want to play more randoms before I say anything definitive on the netcode, though.
But I can vouch for the custom colors working properly now. A few that had disappeared on me came back after the patch was installed on my system.

Now my Beni-Marge edit can run free once more!
3 Bar matches have been good for the most part.
4 Bar matches vary though, which is weird, most worse than my 3 Bar matches.
I have been getting input lag throughout though.
I also got a 1 Bar match when selecting 3 Bar and Up as well.
It's definitely much better than before, but still not that great.

i had a 3 hour test session.
i'd say online is 30-40% better now. there is more stutter while playing unstable connections, but much less input delay now. i think that's better. i can play people now that were unplayable previously, due to input lag. now i can get adequate results, where previously i couldn't.
colors unlock properly as well. patch needs more testing, but for now i'd call it a good patch.
that's kinda lame. barely any incentive to do trials now due to this.

More like SNKP trying rake as much money as humanity possible from extremely lazy gamers with too much money on their hands.
Online is showing me that I really need to take my own advice, I am letting people get away with way too much stuff.

Oh mah gawww....Load times are so much better on PS3 (installed) though you'll have to do with a little bit of cosmetic stutter during the "pose!" on the character select. Much less rhythm lost between matches now!

Evo shirt is a really cool gesture. Great way to get those entraint numbers up for the tournament and sweeten the prize pot in the process. I love how Atlus is supportive of the community. Other pubs could learn a lot from them.

Yeah, their "fix" doesn't really work if there aren't many people online.

I would at least like to reset the amazing amount of losses I have
Doesn't MvC allow you to reset your stats?Terareflection
Member
It did that before the patch too.
Ugh at least it's slightly better now but that's one of the more irritating things to me.
EDIT: Hrm I guess I never leave and enter training within the same session, I just wish it would save across quitting the game. It's annoying to reset all that stuff every time I want to practice.
Really? Mine didnt.
And im pretty sure it didnt.
I would at least like to reset the amazing amount of losses I have
I sort of want to reset my wins more (wish we had the option to hide lvls).
Yep, its always done that for me as well (PS3 version).

A reminder. Local Battles in North Jersey will be having a KOF Ranbat (I think it'll be streamed as well?) on Thursday, and I implore anybody local to the area to come out so we can try and jump start our own little scene. I will be attending as well, so I hope i don't go 0-2 lol
Late but "You son of bitch! We goin to space!" had me rolling!

Enjoying this more after the patch and now I how all the colour edit options.
Cool seeing everyone's colour choices online, although waaaay too many people are rolling with all-black teams, boring.
Still some lag in a lot of my matches though, which is hard to deal with when the controls are so precise.
I keep getting locked down in the corner, so frustrating.
Seems to be a lot more good players online now. I just played two people in a row with over 1000 wins and under 20 losses. They were good but not that good... ragequitters?

You can't really tell who's good by wins and losses. Guard Cancel rolling kinda helps if you have meter for getting out of the corner, though it is hard to properly punish online.
Do you mind giving the signal strength of your matches too?
Usually if someone's win percentage is above 95%, and occasionally if it's above 80% in ranked matches- they're ragequitters.
