As far as the game being different from online to offline? Of course it is to a certain degree, but its not as bad as MK9 was. That I am 100% sure of. Take SFAE for example, the netcode is still decent to this day and a online warrior can still go to a big tournament like EVO and make top 16. It happens in this community too. How many times has this community shat on "online warriors," but then some go to a tournament and do extremely well? If the game was drastically different from offline that wouldn't be happening.
