Honestly, I haven't heard anything that negative in regards to SF4, 3S, MVC3, SCV, Skull Girls or anything else on PS3. I mean, like I said I've got a 27mbs connection, MK9 is the only game I've played on PS3 that really plays like shit online. It's just aggravating, I'm not about to buy a 360 specifically for online, nor am I going to buy a vita for online alone; I frankly cannot afford it.
I think the mic is own automatically..at least for me. I was playing against Carefoot last night and I couldnt hear anything from his end.
If you have a good internet connection, all of those Capcom games play just fine. SF4, SFxT, MVC3. Skull Girls plays beautifully for me when GGPO is set correctly.
Pig Of The Hut is truly the only person I feel is really qualified to answer that. He's rarely on his PSN account though; so I would assume that yes, 360's MK has a better netcode.
Maybe he'll pop in and throw down an answer.
That was my initial assumption as well. The South American players on PSN are horrendous. But I don't think there's any direct correlation between "I'm a cheap bastard who has a 1.5mbps DSL plan" and owning a PS3. None the less, it's bad to the point that I'm extremely rusty and haven't really touched the game in a month as of last night when I got to play some casuals offline.
I'll tell you what, I'll friend you on PSN. We're not even that far from each other - Asheville to Philly - so we should hopefully get a good connection, right? It'd be a nice test.
Sounds good, we'll try some AAs and anti-crossups lol
more mbps doesn't mean you automatically will be lag free. It helps to have a higher download speed sure, but other factors are involved. You might be having Nat Type 2 connection on your ps3 which is a firewall causing longer ping which will result in more "lag". You should try custom settings on your ps3 to ensure there is no firewall and you can have the best possible connection. Upload speed is also just as important as download especially if you are host. I have a fiber optic connection, 36D 6 up with 8ms ping on my ps3. When I play other people with fiber it's probably the best way to play online. I've played Sabin and Check and was hardly ever able to feel lag at all. Maybe 2 frames at most but AA's anti cross ups and all the tricky stuff was possible. I play primarily offline so I really know that the connection was strong.
Regarding the Nat 2, I do in fact have that though I'm not sure how to get that down to a Nat 1 with a router? I'll figure it out, requires going into the router settings I'm sure!
yea it does, go here for some information portforward.com, don't buy the ap, but you can learn how to open your Nat Type
Cool, thank you sir!
Hahahahahaha good rant. The big problem (and reason it feels easy to point at the netcode) is that NONE of the other games I play on PSN have the lag that MK9 does. Bad online turns off good players who would otherwise play the game; they'll just quit MK and play something else. Plus it sucks that my favorite fighter plays notably worse in general in comparison to other titles.
Absolutely. Lag is always going to be there, and it affects fighters the harshest of any genre. It's all a matter of doing your best to hide it. So far, I'd say SFxT (a game I don't even like) and particularly SkullGirls, which uses adjustable GGPO, have done it the best.
I think somehow we're agreeing with other and saying the same thing in different ways over and over hahahaha.
ive found xbox to be much better no lie
Yeah I figured as much lol
I know what you mean. Im so used to playing on PS3 that this game feels like everyone is in TURBO mode. Seriously the game is so smooth and actually responsive (when you have a good connection that is). Since I have never played this game offline, im inclined to say that the vita experience is close to it lol.
