I notice that the mic is not always on. Do you guys turn it on purpose or is it just random?

It appears to me that if you have your mic turned off you do not hear the other person, it actually cuts mic communication. The other person may have their mic off, and that's why. I think both players have to turn it on. I personally leave mine off, unless I play with someone I know well. Always off for ranked or randoms.

I havent gotten the time to mess around with the settings yet but where do you actually turn it off? Is it within MK or the vita itself?

I can't believe that the Vita online play is THAT much better. That's absolutely shocking. And its all on wireless, right?

yeah it's all wireless. Maybe because there aren't that many crap playing in the background for the various stages.

It sounds like a netcode improvement to me; honestly, the gameplay should be WORSE considering its on wireless. I wonder what is actually happening that its that much better. I wish NRS would port this change to PS3 if its making gameplay much tighter!

It's honestly getting to the point where is the 360 is THAT much better, I'm starting to seriously consider buying the game again on 360 just for improve online play.

Hold in the ps button for 3 seconds and you get a menu and it's one of the options. Also, if you hit the ps button and start at the same time it takes a screenshot. I have screens of all the people who rage quit on me, after I get to a hundred or so I'll post all the names or something...

First post on these forums (yay!)

I got the vita and mk the day it came out. Online is really impressive, and very few combos get dropped. Sometimes there's a bit of a mishap, and etc. but really good for a wireless. Even with only one bar, it's pretty rare to get serious lag.

I have no idea how the matching works in online. It just gets you to someone, and you see his/her stats. From there, you can turn down if you want to. Personally, I turn down any one with a 2:1 win ratio (I'm not that good). I have a 8:9 ratio right now, and i still get matched to people with 160:30, so I don't think it matches by stats. it's just hit or miss imo.

Private matches work this way: You create the match and send an invite to your friends. Then you have to sit there with the loading screen and wait until they accept. if they don't, i don't think you get notified... (i know I don't). At least you can use the messenger to pester them if anything.

Just giving the basic run through of how it works if anyone's interested.

Also, voice chat is great, but there's no way to tell if someone's muted their mic or are just quiet. Also, can anyone tell me if a person who mutes their mic can still hear you?


Now as for why it's better, I think it's just because there's less players? I sometimes get matched to the same person twice or so, and very few people have played more than 100 online games.
