Goodbye KOF13 Online

[Silly Goose]

Let me start by saying this is by far my favorite fighter out right now. But I'm just done with online. KoF12 online was awful & despite that I went ahead & got 13 anyway and am still much more than satisfied with the gameplay offline.

Waited patiently for a patch holding on to hope that I'd be able to improve my skills in this. And after waiting for a whole new game, a patch, & 200+ games online I give up. I can't even do basic bnb's online or manuever around projectiles reliable on 3-4 bars. There's really no reason for a game to be released in 2011 & have a worse netocde than another made in 2009. So everyone who's lucky enough to be able to enjoy online please continue but its just not up to par for me.

ive been done with online a long time now. people really make alot of excuses for snk and this netcode debacle.. truth is.. the netcode sucks and kills more than half of the fun of the game

Online is killing the fun of the fighting games. It sure works on first person shooters but fighting games since long ago have been about kicking the hell out of the adversary and nothing is better than having him (Rarely her) face to face.

You two should get some "area" friends and play fighting game as God has demended to be

The issue in my case has more to do with finding players. I've been searching and hosting matches almost daily with no luck. Couldn't find a single local match.

I only got to find 2 orange (2 bars) connections, which were playable, none of which were in my region, I believe.

well this thread is abit OVERdramatic. first, sort your inet connection and second the online gaming IS playable. Im over 2050 ( ranked ) 1145 ( player ) plays and not very often I get lag only with the typical 3 that i always play ( due to them using Wireless )

the whole top 50 @ playstation are above 1000 plays and they keep playing it and going up. so whoever says the online experience is unplayable needs to do something about their connection.

the game is very much playable



if the game was really that bad ( online wise ) why are we bothering playing? . the number one is already in 4k and more. people ARE playing with less issues.

BUT like I mentioned before this game needs ONE more patch to sort the problem with lag against peple in green bars and blue bars.

I live in the tri-state area on the east coast. There should be plenty of people close to me. Comcast is my ISP. I only play on a wired connection. I even go so far as to take my router out of the equation & connect my xbox directly to the modem. I've done everything I can on my end.

I use to tell myself the netcode was fine too after the patch provided I played 3-4 bars only. After finishing no & I mean literally NO intermediate combos online with 3-4 bars I decided I play the computer a few times. Since I know that doing a combo in battle is much different than training mode. I landed all my combos consistently on the computer so my execution wasn't the issue. I said all that just to say I'm not some guy playing on wireless with 3 computers on downloading torrents complaining about lag.

So I asked myself would I keep playing with this connection if I was playing SF4. I wouldn't. I'd kick the person & look for a better connection. The problem is there is no better connection to look for in this game. And I only play 3 bars +

Like I said If you're playing online & find it playable then I urge you to continue. I'm in no way trying to convince anyone who finds this playable online besides SNK. I love this game and would like to see it grow in popularity. The fact that I've taken the time out to register on this site & type out this waay too long post should say that.

I'd like to think I've been patient with SNK waiting for the KoF12 patch. Then waiting for a WHOLE NEW GAME. Then waiting for another patch just for online to be on the level of other games released years before it.

Mortal Kombat has a horrible netcode and I'm willing to bet that they're going to use the exact same one for the next game. Video game companies just don't give a **** about fighting games online.

Netcode is not so bad, but people wants red connections would be more playables (me too), and if your country or neighbor KOF is not very popular you are in problems. Would be great if in red connections they use rollback for help to input delay, but this requires SNKP develop "savestates" internally in the game.

I hope SNKP release another patch, Atlus have not any information about this???

Companies do care... just not so much in Mortal Kombat.
In Blazblue, i could fight people all over the world and it'd still be very rare for me to have much lag.
In Mortal Kombat however, i have pretty much given up on fighting online. Most of the time it freezes up before or after i choose my fighter.
