Ranked has built in lag, I swear. You're better off in player matches. I fight Toasty all the time as Yukiko with 0 bars, and yet our connection feels fine. I get 2 bars in ranked that feel like they should be in the negatives. Lag hits Yukiko kinda hard compared to other characters because she's doesn't have an easy "mash till it works" option.
Imo at least.
