damn how did you find so many ranked matches! you must be patient as hell.. it takes me like 10 mins to find a ranked match on psnJust got done playing my Ranked record is 5433-1063, and yeah, still can't beat Kung Lao. Finally beat REO's Kung Lao 3 times though, lost 10 but still. He needs frames, no ifs ands or buts about it.
Always had trouble with very good Scorpions until tonight, went 2-2 with Slips and it gave me a ton of confidence vs Scorpion for me.
apparently.. lol.. gotta get me a xbox just for fighters it seemsWell that's because you're on PSN, XBL takes 5-10 seconds 95% of the time, the 5% is like 10-60 seconds max.
You're playing on the wrong system.![]()
i gotta get xbox just to play ranked, im soo jealous!Took me around 800.
My first 800 were all on non ranked player matches. I had around 300 wins and 500 losses. And at around this point I figured out that Subby was my main and now I am number 5 in ranked matches.
This is the problem I have with online. The timing is just so inconsistent due to varying degrees of lag. The input lag is the worst thing. I mean, I will admit I can look like a complete scrub at times because I just can't execute any of my stuff. Other connections can be OK and even if I lose, I still show I know what I am doing somewhat. I haven't played tonnes online. I have 700 wins and 290 losses at the moment. I consider myself an average player but online can make me look like complete crap half the time. I struggle to land jump in punches some of the time. I wish I could play offline competitively just because there are things in the game that I haven't learned how to deal with yet and I get blown up by them but I can't really learn how to consitently deal with them online. Offline I could.I don't think playing online is a good indicator of skill in the game. There are too many punishable situations that you just can't punish online like you can playing offline.
Not to mention that it's a crap shoot as to what kind of lag will dictate the flow of the match. Some times it's visual hitching and everyone sees that it's lagging. Other times it's the big pauses that lock the game up for a second or two. Then there's the awkward input lag where it looks like the game is running smoothly but everything happens a few seconds after you press a button or combo sequence<---- that's the worse for me because it always seems like my opponent isn't lagging at all.
I really enjoy this game but it's got horrific netcode and it seems to be the most sensitive game ever as far as NAT types go.
Exactly, online is good for playing real opponents if you have limited experience with that, but it's not going to decide if your actually good or not. Even if you win most of your matches it means nothing when you play against someone offline.I don't think playing online is a good indicator of skill in the game. There are too many punishable situations that you just can't punish online like you can playing offline.

Well said. It's kind of campy and cheesy but it applies to every thing in life: Knowing is a roadblock to learning. Knowledge is a golden spiral that can never be encompassed in totality by one person.Getting "Good" is an ongoing experiance. One does not simply do match 572 and he is then automaticly good at the game. To describe getting good at a fighting game is like a chart. Continuously going upright as your experiance with match-ups continue.
I like to play the people I have the best connections with. If they're better than me, I play them anyway and just try to get better after getting bodied for the 10/15th/20th time in a row lol. If they're of a lesser standard, I try to help them during our games. It doesn't really matter. All I want is good games. Online is full of complete d*cks though, which does not help a person in my situation. One person today sent me a message telling me to get raped along with a load of disgusting language because I left after I was beaten because I was so disgusted at the lag. I couldn't even do a jip 214 with Sub the lag was that bad. I'd jump in and do a standing 1 followed by a standing 4 when I tried to. That's unacceptable and does not decide who the better player is, that just decides who can get lucky, and he happened to get lucky at the end of the third round by going through my Xray with his own.I'm with you guys on how online doesn't compare to offline, but I've played so much of both that I can easily adjust from match to match to match. Online, to little lage almost lagless online to extreme lag, just make it happen.![]()
