How would you fix online with an update?

There is no way to fix the Online problems that people have with SC4.. Its plain and simple... Maybe if the programmers used the VF5 system it might work since I think that is the only online game that has had better online results with issues that you are talking about.

Think you missed thee point entirely their...Yes, you cannot fix lag...that's obvious with the current system. But you can create features to help work around it. Displaying changes in ping, giving more info on the connection with the person before the fight, buffering tolerance so your not trying to figure out how much to delay with lag and not trying to do them to early and lose the inputs all together (This way you can just buffer earlier and expect it to flow out naturally on the end of the animation...unless packetloss hits), etc...

None of those features change lag but give you a better chance to have a more skilled and accurate fight.
 
The only way around lag, is to slow the game down. Which doesn't seem to work all that well as they already try to do that. Though, maybe if the entire game were slower, then a good connection could be a lot more flawless, as you have more time to make your inputs in the first place and react. But, that would compromise the pacing of the offline game.

Maybe a game speed slider is in order then?
 
Slowing the pace of the game dosent really sound like a good idea, IMO that would plain suck, no disrespect intended.

But yes displaying ping in units of miliseconds instead of the cumbersome 1-5 bars would be a welcome upgrade, and I assume not too hard to implement.
 
They should show the last 5 characters people used, before the match, and set a limit to how many times in a row you can use a character. 5 maybe, in ranked. Unlimited in unranked.

The vast majority of players>Kilik,Kilik,Kilik,Kilik,Kilik...Cervy

lol at stuff like this.
 
Unfortunately this is a pointless topic. If Namco were going to make changes to the online system they would have done so by now with a simple update considering the game has been out now for over a year. The fact of the matter is the online structure was intentionally designed this way. The search results only give you the same people over and over again because that's the way they wanted it. There is a reason that we all see the SFXNamco's gamertag name at the top of the online Leaderboards. It's so they can find each other over and over again and rank up off of different bogus online accounts. I've never played that person, have you? Hmmm.... SC4 is at the very bottom of the barrel as far as online options are concerned. The only thing good about it is that you can watch other people play in player matches.

well i guess if the community is gonna get all uppity I'll cease this. I feel the wishlist falls on preference for direction for game where as this falls into finding a solution for a specific problem that is very hard to address. We could easilyfill 2 threads on completely seperate discussion on these.

We can argue all day about nerfs and buffs on characters and extra playmodes, but solving the lag issue is a bit more daunting and outstretches what would be "cool". There's no simply answer, so discussion would be needed. Thread 1 = BROAD discussion...so small tidbits on various topics...this is a focused topic thread to specifically narrow the spectrum of discussion to that single issue since it wont be solved in one quick post.

Now tribaL...if you REALLY wanna break it down to eTard status and bitch about the threads existence...don't be the first dumbass who bumps it to the top fo the forums with your own post when a discussion hasn't even formed to keep it alive. A simple request to merge is all that's needed, but I'm sure emulating your condtion of head in ass syndrome through a key board is much more appropriate in your social circle

So youre mad that you posted this as a separate thread when theres already a topic to address this?



These new kids I swear..
 
The things I would update is a character-blocker option in your lobbies. You could block Yoda, Ivy, Misturugi, anybody you can't stand playing against in your games, so you can enjoy yourself against a legitimate opponent that would be unable to pick your "headache".
 
I think if your hosting a ranked match you should be able to pick the stage. I hate Nightmare users who always pick the smallest ring.
 
I agree with cloud. A ring-blocker would also be great. I only play on walled-stages, and there are only two (egyptian temple and tower cathedral) that are completely walled in.
 
I would fix the beginning lag, Ever since Tekken has came out, the beginning lag has been killing me!! Lol, I would also like Tag Team, or team mode. That was fun, especially if you did it online.
 
The things I would include are:

Ping Number: It would be nice to see exactly how far or close you are away from having a 4 or 5 star rating

Room Names: It isn't that important to have.. but you could put for example...Just for fun or Practicing or something like that.

Player Rater: This would come in handy so that we could mark all the people who abuse SC's weak online capabilities. Or you could comment saying "Whiner" or "Lag Abuser"

Ban Mitsurugi: Yea.. I went there
 
There's no way to fix online gameplay as it is.

Lag is a disease that can't be cured (excuse my poor idiom).

However, there are ways to better the experience.
 
Char select could be done before matchup, so you can see who you'll be fighting before you join.

huh?
For ranked it should be best out of 3 matches. This way you can get used to the lag.

lag is the only problem with online, but if you only play online, then you shouldnt even complain about this.
