[FIGHT ON] Garou: Mark of the Wolves - Netcode is pretty hit and miss.

The following post was made before the game finished downloading. Garou is still awesome, but this netcode is well... not so great. Buy it to play with friends on your couch next to you, not over the internet.

Hopefully The Fighter's Generation doesn't mind me ripping off their entire Garou site because I don't feel like rehosting these images at the moment...
(aka Fatal Fury: Mark of the Wolves)
IT. IS. AWESOME.
Garou: Mark of the Wolves was SNK's answer to Capcom's Street Fighter 3. Featuring silky smooth 2D animation, rock solid gameplay, rockin' music and a wacky (but memorable) cast THIS was SNK's crown jewel... until they went out of business. Well, SNK is more or less back in full force now but Garou was, at the time, their last hurrah. The game is bloody fantastic.
Many of the characters have ties to older Fatal Fury fighters. For example, Kim Dong Hwan and Kim Jae Hoon are the sons of Fatal Fury's Kim Kap Hwan. Garou's Marco Rodriguez uses the same fighting style as Art of Fighting's Ryo Sakazaki and newcomer Hokutomaru was trained by Terry Bogard's brother himself, Andy.
Everybody loves combo videos~!
I can tell you from experience that Grant has some nasty corner combos though, so those should be fun when the last video does come out.
Head over to The Fighter's Generation's Garou site for some more information on the game and the series that spawned it.
Buy it. The game is 800MS funbucks and is easily worth 6 or 7 times that (what I paid for my Dreamcast version).

[...] combo tutorial videos for Garou characters. They start with simple tutorials and then get gradually more advanced. There's lots of text explaining the commands, and also offering some tips on pulling them off. They're highly recommended!
Grant and Kevin aren't up yet.Spoiler:

How's the netcode?
Any bug fixes?
Netcode any good?
Why haven't you posted online impressions?
I still have the DC version but that didn't have netcode.
This game is one hell of a fighter.
I was downloading it as I made the thread. Unfortunately...
THE NETCODE IS PRETTY FUCKING TERRIBLE.
Sorry folks...
Would anyone like to come to my house and play Garou

Like SF4 terrible?
I can deal with that.
SF4 has Godly netcode compared to this. This is two bar SF4 connections AT BEST.

.... this makes me worried for KoF.
SF4 netcode isn't terrible. It just isn't in the same league as GGPO or HDR.

Oh god. Kaillera was great for when it first came out... but I could only play people under like 50 ping on a college network
edit: no garou for me
When there's no lag, the game is phenomenal, absolutely smooth and wonderful. Out of the 15 or so games I've played now, I've really only seen terrible lag twice. When the lag happens, the game becomes nigh unplayable. It really sucks. Saying that SF4's netcode is Godly compared to this is something of an understatement...
But again, when the game isn't lagging, it runs wonderfully.
Also, my experience is on Xbox Live, have you been playing it on PSN Fig?
Nope, XBL as well (I don't think it's out on PSN). The best connection I've been able to get was 50ms. All of my 15 games were terrible earlier. I'll hop on again in a moment and see if I can do any better

Title / OP has been changed to reflect that the game's netcode may not be awful for everyone, but it certainly is for me

This is great, I was looking for something like this. Thanks!
I need more people who have the game to relate their experience with the online portion.

I did finally manage to get the five wins in a row in ranked though.
I'm gonna be on for awhile if anyone wants to throw down, 2D style.

Although I play as pretty much everyone except the bosses.
