lol guilty gear's netcode right now is absolutely a legit excuse. i've had like 5 ranked matches out of 200 where i don't notice the lag. i feel your pain stardemon.
in offline games and online games with people i know close by, i can do any of baiken's combos from dustloop's baiken guide just fine... but on most every match i have against randoms i'm reduced to gatling 2s into 5s into 2s etc since that's the only thing that consistently works.
it's a miracle that i got the 10 in a row achievement.
