I'm starting to think you're a developer spy. You don't post anywhere else and you are very expansive with your questions.

I don't think I ever played Tournament mode in the UMK3 arcade more than 1 or 2 times. It could be pretty damned neat for offline tournaments and definitely for online play if they are full matches. The commentators would always know who's up then.

It would be really difficult to use for offline tourneys though. I don't know if they could make a system that would work well and be easy to use for everyone (and not have to login from 8 different gamertags at once).

With the ease of use of Tonamento and since thats what all major tournaments are using now. I doubt a tournament mode would be of much use at tournaments. Could be cool for online, but if I were the MK team Id be focusing on improving the lame net code they use rather than some online gimmicks. Worry about making a 1 on 1 match playable online first.

^^ This

The game might play just how you think it should in the offices at Netherrealm Studios, but try testing the online gameplay from opposite sides of the country with a dsl connection and then we'll talk.

I bring this up because during the course of MK vs DCU, many abusable moves and setups and infinites were discovered that only worked online due to the way that online is programmed. Moves have better recovery online to compensate for lag and delay. I was very much looking forward to playing the developers so I could pull off some of this stuff on them and they could see what we are experiencing. You know what happened? With their super turbo hyper fighting internet connection, playing them felt like offline and all of the Sub-Zero b+4 popups were connecting every time, shao kahn's shoulder ram was unsafe, deathstroke's stab infinite did not work because the move worked just like it is supposed to, etc, etc...

Point is, if they are testing the online play with their godlike internet connections, then they will get faulty data and we will have the same problem on our hands with MK9 that we've been dealing with since Deception.

Konqrr and Rob speaketh the truth. This is my commandment for this game and I hope Boon follows it. He needs to realize that an ancient game (UMK3) survived for so long because of this.

tournament mode is when you go play offline, which will always be the best way to play ANY fighting game.

Dont just worry about the ONLINE 1v1, but OFFLINE 1v1!!!

Those are MODES, and they have nothing to do with how the onilne portion of the game is coded.

lol I know man, but I'm talking about both ;) they're under WB now, not Midway so if the game doesn't play better online to begin with I'll be a bit shocked but concerning the modes, the more the better lol.

More options online=higher replay value

Besides Konqrr, the thread topic is Tournament MODE ;) thus why I mentioned that buddy

Unless they built the game from scratch (they always use stuff they did before if it worked for them, that's programming 101), we will get the same network code.

Look at all the online modes on SSF4...which one do you play most or exclusively? Endless or Ranked, right? Exactly.

We'll just have to wait and see Konqrr but I will bet that WB>Midway in terms of overall quality and money.

Boon keeps stressing the online gig, including the improved gameplay online. WB should have guys working on just the netcode while everyone else works on the game. Who knows, that might be the case. But I'll play it online regardless, but will be on Xbox not PSN...
