Killer Instinct Netcode is Fraudulent?

[Rip Torn]

It's a glitch. Look close at the top video. When they game desynchs, they are still controlling their characters. The problem is that the rollback never occurs and they are at different places on the screen. The problem happens right at the start of the fight when Sadira walks forward before the fight starts. She basically entered the fight and was allowed to start moving on DSP's screen (bottom) before it shows her moving on the top screen. At this point, the game is synched again but the characters are at different locations on the screen. This causes a problem seconds later when Sadira does some double jumps and winds up on the right on his screen but on the left on DSP's screen. From there the match plays out separately from each console. You can see it get back back in synch at about 1:55 when the action just happens to come back together but they are at totally different points in the match on eachothers' screens.

I really believe this is what's happening and not Double Helix trying to be malicious. It should be easy for them to fix in a patch.

Nah man, I got that. I meant to say that even with this "issue" I wouldn't drop the game itself..if I had it.

I know, not saying it for you specifically.

Does one really "Go" to the online tourney?

It's not an AI. If you actually pay attention to the match, even when they're full screen it looks like they're mashing buttons (because in their screen they're in the middle of a combo). I think.

Pretty much what Rip Torn said lol

Now before we get this topic started. I'd like to start off by saying this: This thread is simply a discussion. This is not my opinion, this is not me throwing what I believe to be fact in people's faces, nor is this an attempt to bash the Xbox One. This is NOT a console hating thread nor is this a #PS4LYFE #SonyPonySwag thread. Now with that said let us begin.

The Skinny: Apparently the reason why KI online feels so "smooth" and "crisp" is due to a few games vs the AI thrown in. Basically replacing your Online Opponent with a bot due to the game desynching. So people are saying/speculating. You guys would know better than me due to the fact I have not purchased the Xbox One. Someone please tell me that this is false information started by the Sony Militia.

So what do you guys think? A mirage to place ungodly slander upon Killer Instinct before the game can even grow its wings and soar to the top of the Fighting Game Trophaeum? Another attempt by the Xbox One hater brigade to show Sony Supremacy? A legitimate gripe that will get you so amped up to fetch a pitch fork? Hell maybe it inspires you to stop playing video games and just tell your mother that you love her. I don't know.

Discuss.

I notice your multiple "xbone" hate vids and blog post, I think a majority of us have xp this and are still quite comfortable with the games wonderful netcode. Since you're so happy with your ps4 you should probably go play that and stop dwelling so much on picking the x1 system and its games apart ( it's kinda like researching your girlfriends enemy more than you do your own) go have fun and let us enjoy our stupid machine and games. Don't you think other fg titles would be tweaking the hell out of their AI's if it created lag free matches ? haha its a lot more than that bud #Ihavenotude KI FTW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Funny enough the two videos and one thread I've made about the Xbox One post release. I said the Console is decent and that I'm sure down the line it will be a stellar machine. The only gripes I've had from the outside looking in have been on Microsoft's end not the System itself. Also I'm glad you're enjoying your Killer Instinct shows we got those different strokes for different folks. And as for the researching your girlfriend's enemy line I'll just like your post just for that. As far as the "hate" videos many of which had to do with policy not performance.

Yeah it's not AI. Everybody needs to pay closer attention to what's actually causing the problem.

I'm all for a good conspiracy theory, but this whole thing about playing bots or Ai in a ranked match is pretty ridiculous.

It sounded ridiculous but I figured I'd post about it since I don't have the Xbone. I was genuinely curious. Guess we can go ahead and lock this bad boy up.

The glitch also only happens during exhibition matches. Apparently it doesn't exist in ranked, so it's even more of a non-issue.

 

[testyourpatience]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW. THAT IS THE FREAKIEST SHIT I HAVE EVER SEEN. it just puts you in an offline match..... it was in the beginning of the match too. so basially when your opponent starts sucking really bad, you disconnected. now we know why you guys reported offline like netcode, it IS offline! KI3 fuckin expoooooooooosed! !!!

 

[NY_Jailhouse]

doubt it gets fixed...same shit happens in ANY game with ggpo based netcode. happens on ggpo itself, supercade, third strike on xbox etc etc

 

[PhilAuto]

Neither are games.

You do realize you can win prize money at tournaments? Besides I think were on tym because we enjoy taking fighting games seriously.

 

[NoobHunter420]

very interesting.....
I keep getting more and more reasons to buy a ps4.

 

[RiBBz22]

jumping around like an asshole.

I haven't heard any Batman players complain though??

Yes and I can make money off of YouTube ad revenue. Doesn't mean I'm taking YouTube seriously. You can put your time and effort into upping your game to become a solid player but are you going to tell me that the core aspect of video games / gaming is to have some serious, over the top vibe connected to it? Grant it this is a relative opinionated point but last I checked you could also win money from Online tournaments as well. As for TYM, I'm here because I simply put want to be better at the game and enjoy the community in the process. Not to talk and socialize about how I can pad my stats to be placed upon some "MK All Stars" roster or idolizing the people that do. And no, I'm not saying that you're doing that. However someone came to make the point that online isn't meant to be taken seriously as if offline play is as important as the difference between Collegiate Athletics and Professional sports as if it doesn't matter at all.
