Is Being an Online Warrior in MKX Pointless?

[Zoidberg747]

Just to be clear, just because there is no visible lag does not mean there isnt any lag present. Even the best online matches will have 2-3 frames of input delay, thats just how it is. It is also important to note that even though you may feel the connection is fine, the input delay varies so your opponent may be laggier/have more input delay than you do. Regardless good players will adjust and even take advantage of these things, but saying "my games don't lag" is factually untrue.

PS: I HAVE A ETHERNET CONNECTED FROM MODEM TO PS4

I have seen this example many times and it simply isn't true. I live in Kansas City and have had Google Fiber installed at my apartment for 2 years. I have a LAN cable from Fiber Modem to PS4 and I RARELY get lag-free games

Here's the thing though... The online experience may not be bad for these ppl.

It certainly isn't bad for me... and I've played MK9 and Injustice as well. Both also playable online.

I agree that it obviously is not terrible for a small percentage of people, and MK9 and Injustice were just as bad as MKX [for me anyway]. It's pretty much the same system being implemented for each game, even though it's always deemed the worst Online in any fighting game to date by the majority of it's users.

For anyone who isn't experiencing getting hit by A low you saw coming a mile away while your fingers were firmly on Down on the D-Pad and Block 8 frames earlier while getting hit by it anyway, leading to a 40% combo followed by pressure on oki where your wake up attack fails to come out due to the same input lag that got you there to begin with and led to another 35% combo... Then by all means, enjoy.

Yea you are right
I do get some lag aswell
I just played some and it was lagging
I think I'm just use to the lag now
But Sometimes it hardly any

lots of people still plays with wireless connection, i know wired connection is still not the best compared to other games as well and you need to alter some settings, but its better than going wireless, might as well not play online at all if you are using wireless connection
