Seku Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 Regarding netcode, I live in the Middle-East and I've been fighting people in Europe (UK and France) and I'm getting 4~8F delay max. 4 is really good (and the most frequent one I got) considering the distance and my experience with other games ( all types, not just fighting) this is one the best I've played so far.
Rhannmah Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 lol I noticed something playing Story for this game. I was listening to the dub since I was watching it like a movie anyway, but, when Chipp asks May her age, you can hear her reply with an exact number (of 22) in English. I have to wonder if she says this in Japanese, or it was just added for dub. Oh god, I figured it OUT! In Japan, people age backwards! ... Everything makes so much sense now...
nyyyyy Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 I think I start to understand what people meant when they said that the netcode is abysmal. I have 2-3 frames against almost anyone in European lobbies. But as soon as I queue for a ranked match it doesnt matter if the connection has 0 or 4 bars, I will almost never have less than 7 frames delay. No idea whats going on here and why the difference is this incredible between normal lobby and ranked play.

No idea whats going on here and why the difference is this incredible between normal lobby and ranked play. It might be the coding. Or it might be an odd case that Lobbies are more "private" than Ranked. I don't know the technical side but if I had to guess, Lobbies basically connect you in a singular room and cabinet. Ranked is kinda like you and the opponent flinging darts at each other from across the street hence the delay. Of course, I could be entirely wrong here.
nyyyyy Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 The bars just seem highly inaccurate. I just joined a ranked lobby with 4 bars and had 19f delay. This is USFIV level of bar accuracy.
Maker Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 While I don't have hands on GG yet I'm willing to bet that the "bars accuracy" is about as bad as any other game that treats latency with "bars" and not the actual latency numbers. I won't know in GG how this will affect me but in BB i had games with zero bars that were fine and games with 4 bars that were laggy as hell. No idea why.
setsu113 Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 I have the japanese version on ps3 and its awesome! ! .. anyone know how if ypu can pick the alternative color for when both ppl pick the same one ?

RKM-fr Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 Could it be that ranked matches don't necessarily match you with players from your region? Correct. I'm from Europe and can see only japanese players in Ranked Matches.
qwerty Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 I'm actually able to find players at a steady delay 2 now. It's not a huge improvement, but matches are at least playable. Also, I find that the game looks slightly better when ran at 720p. There also doesn't seem to be any slowdown at all.
antonymichiru Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 Can we unlock alternative colors in-game ?
MasterXDrake Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 Can we unlock alternative colors in-game ? No. Theres DLC colors tho
Chev Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 i had the game slow down when there were 2 overdrives on the screen at once on ps4 so i assume it just pretends its running like a ps3, but please dont listen to my memory here since there might have been an rc i missed. this was netplay vs a ps3 player A merciless but necessary rule of netplay is that to keep synchronized your game has to slow down the same number of frames as you opponents - otherwise the delay would go up as both sides progressively get out of sync. So yeah, when playing on PS4 against a PS3 user it's quite possible you may be slowed down by them during graphics-heavy moves.
setsu113 Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 Can we unlock alternative colors in-game ? I would hope we could pick the 7th alternate color that's in game
king of heart Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 Played online for the first time. I guess I will have to avoid PS3 user too many lag spikez. PS4 players are butter smooth and I am getting constant 2f delay
nyyyyy Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 Could it be that ranked matches don't necessarily match you with players from your region? Correct. I'm from Europe and can see only japanese players in Ranked Matches. I was expecting that by now but what exactly is the point of the bar system then? I mean, how can it show 4 bars and a perfect connection if the person is from another continent? Bars being inaccurate is one thing, but this completely defeats the purpose of their existence. Only further proves that we need country flags.
Soviet Bear Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 Some DLC information people who missed out on Elphelt might appreciate. I bought the PS4 Japanese digital version of the game, but missed the pre-order window. Since I had bought the pre-paid yen cards, I bought the game anyway. A friend of mine bought the PS3 HK version of the game and got Elphelt. He shared his account with me and when I logged into the account, Elphelt was there for me. I switched back to my main account and she still works. Essentially, pre-order bonus DLC is cross-buy and HK DLC (in this case) is compatible with JP games. Hope it helps someone in a similar situation as I was in.

nyyyyy Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 Heh, so SFV just was announced to be PS4 and PC exclusive (which heavily implies cross platform play). So if someone wasnt sure about whether or not to get a PS4 and the 1080p version, heres another reason to buy one (assuming you dont have a powerful computer).
Ballermachine Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 Do I have to make a Japanese account to unlock Elphelt with my unlock code on PSN or can I unlock her on a European account on the PS4? I'm pretty confused since this is my first imported game ever.
Luminos564 Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 Heh, so SFV just was announced to be PS4 and PC exclusive (which heavily implies cross platform play). So if someone wasnt sure about whether or not to get a PS4 and the 1080p version, heres another reason to buy one (assuming you dont have a powerful computer). I'm just surprised that Capcom is able to count past 4 without adding another word to the already bloated title . But that's beside the point. I think I'll wait out the storm. I wasn't able to secure a PS4 for Xrd in time so it'll be quite a while before I can play the game. At least this way it lets people find out whatever problems the game might have and I can take that into account in preparation.
Sanger Zonvolt Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 Ranked bars are completely broken, they either display as 0 or 4 only, and those 4 bars might as well be 0s.
nyyyyy Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 Ranked bars are completely broken, they either display as 0 or 4 only, and those 4 bars might as well be 0s. Come on now, are you implying that a 19f delay isnt an enjoyable experience?
madigawadesperate Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 Come on now, are you implying that a 19f delay isnt an enjoyable experience? God, i see the army of sol scrubs using lag to spam dp
