Greg, Sym or other MK players

Played it online for the first time tonight. Do you guys have huge input/controller delay while playing online? It damn near makes the game unplayable, it makes it tricky just to pull off some small 3-hit combos let alone anything complicated.

If this is the norm then that's crazy, Super Street Fighter 4 runs so good online it's usually like you're playing someone in the room. You occasionally get a laggy match, but the controller response on the 360 is about perfect. The PS3 version runs 2-3 frames behind the 360 version, but even then response is very good.

MK feels like there's a good 1/4 of a second before a button press is registered.

Sooooo... is it just something weird going on with mine or do you guys get the input delay too?

Unfortunately, for the time being it's the norm, although I don't think it's constantly as bad as you describe it (not that at times your description of MK online isn't spot on).

The main problem is xbox freezing during King of the Hill matches.

Patch is supposed be released within the next two weeks, yada yada yada. You get the picture.

There have been a couple of instances where I've gotten really smooth games, though.

although I don't think it's constantly as bad as you describe it (not that at times your description of MK online isn't spot on).

I've only played about 20 matches online so far and that's about how they all were. It's good to know that it's not always as rough as that though. Maybe it was just having a hard time last night and will be better next time.

Thanks Greg.

I noticed you had entered a king of the hill match and were next in line before the game got shot to hell...

i've actually been really tempted to buy this even though i've never been a huge fighting game fan. Plus amazon has it for only 40$.

It's good. Once they fix the online it will be great.

It was great on PSN before sony killed it

I've only played a few online matches against a friend of mine - and the experience has ranged all the way from silky smooth to slide show.

Be great once it's more consistent.

I've heard several people complain about this same thing. I couldn't handle that shit. lag on a fighter or shooter game just means death and rage

Its strange that it lags on xbox. In the 2 days I played online on psn before it suicided, it was smooth as butter. Only time I got lag was during a full KOH match.

It didn't seem like lag to me. The match itself ran smooth it was just the delay from the time I pressed a button/direction till it actually happened on screen.

For example: Someone a full screen away could shoot a fireball at me and even if I hit block before it left their hand the fireball would hit me before my character even responded to the button press.

It was driving me crazy!

I would say that 50 of the games I find are smooth, 25% laggy, but finish, 15% laggy and disconnect and 10& make my xbox freeze faster than an ice ball from Sub-Zero.

It really all varies I don't play online all that much but a few days ago me and greg played a few games. When I played with him it was for the most part lag free

That was a pretty fun session there zach.

Well I tried it again today and no luck. Still unplayable as it was meant to be played so I'm packing it up and taking it to trade in.

On the plus side it inspired me to trade in most all my other games too.

Aw man, that's too bad. I'm hoping the problems will be fixed soon.

Maybe you're being a little haste.

I get most of my fun with local 2 player on fighters anyway.

The four player is awesome too, but the four player on weed is the shit.

Yeah, probably a bit hasty. However I have no one to play with locally so the online is all it can do for me.

To late now though, it's gone. Picked up a couple hundred in credit towards new games though.

Greg. Sym.
Either of you want my DLC code for classic Skorpion. I think it's the costume and fatality...

I have it for ps3 so no go on my end metal.

Cool, I forgot about that.
What about you Greg?

Yea, the lag on MK is unbearable. But, WB is working on it right now to fix it. That is all i am waiting on. Once they make it playable online i plan to jump back on, practice and play online.

If they get it running smooth I may pick it back up again.

Still raging at challenge 251. Its the only one I havent beaten damnt!

I wouldn't mind it a bit, man.

*glows with delight*

The last couple of days I've only been playing ranked and have gotten very little lag and maybe once got an unplayable match.

I think the major problem is the King of the Hill mode. That shit lagged hardcore and made my xbox freeze and I've read that it affects a lot of other people as well.

Is that the army of Shao Kahns? back, forward, bp ftw.

I'll PM it to you in a minute Greg.

Sym do you want my Portal 2 code for the Roll-Cage skins or do you already have it?

Metalzoic wrote:I'll PM it to you in a minute Greg.

FUCK YEAH!

SCORE!!!!

I have no portal 2 codes as I didnt preorder. Sure

Also I finally beat 251 last night! Challenge tower complete(and an end to rageful ai tactics)

185 witg Baraka was the worst. Probably as im just ok with Baraka. I raped Sheeva and Goro, but Kintaro would always find some way to pull it out of his ass. So I resorted to projectile spam

PM'd you Sym.
