    what's your NAT setting at?

    might need to open some ports on your router

    NAT is open, as are the appropriate ports. I play multiplayer games regularly through Steam and on the PS3. But it's just this game.

    Not to mention I fight lag free on Blazblue CSE.

    Just frustrating. :(

    Hat, you can play Juri and Hwoarang and be all Korean all the time. Also they work together really well so you don't have to sacrifice synergy for it either.

    Yeah but then I'd have to play a smelly Tekken character.

    So I ended up getting the xbox. My live account has an issue and they have to lock it out while they fix it for a couple days, so I bought a month of live for one dollar. You can add me at HatLovesChun in the meantime.

    So, there's gems that will auto fire simple combos at the press of a button? Similar to MvC 3's simple mode, I assume?

    Interesting

    Everyone has a price. Throw enough gold around and someone will risk disintegration.

    costs meter though, and most combos are pretty easy compared to SF4 - for example, all of Ryu's links are waaay easier, to such an extent that people weren't sure if they were even links anymore.

    I'm about as casual as you can get when it comes to fighting games, no clue what links even are :P

    That's a pretty good trade off, I guess. Sacrificing EX moves and hyper combos(or whatever) for regular combos. Probably wouldn't be worth it in the end, though I do hear that this game has a pretty decent tutorial/training mode. The more I look into it, the more SFxT seems to be accessable to people like me, and that makes it harder and harder to wait for a price drop...

    Given that the tournament crowd aren't going to play online (and given how utter toilet the netcode is noone can play online properly) the only people affected by the locked content are the casual customers that supported the game on day 1. Tournament players will just hack the content and use it in tournaments - and why shoudln't they. The whole thing is such a fucking mess.

    Unfortunately so is the game. There is very little about it that was made properly. The game play is so wonky it's like staring at a funhouse hall of mirrors. Nothing works properly. So many silly cheap moves confer ridiculous advantage. Dhalsim has been neutred like a randy dog - in fact some of his moves are so insanely slow it defies reason. The guy can't even respond for about 3 seconds after blocking and then trying to jump. I've never seen anything like it.

    If you want to play a game where you can make your inevitable team of shoto cheese and kazuya brokenness look like they've been sent up chimneys like victorian kids this is the game for you. If you want balanced well designed fighting mechanics and a functional online, well look elsewhere. Soul Calibur's online put's this turd to shame.

    Nobody will be using hacked characters in tournaments.

    Even if it wasn't just moronic, the logistics involved would be ridiculous.

    It's a pretty fun game once you wrap your head around how it works. The tutorials are extremely lacking though, many things are left out. Best to go online and train with a PA buddy for best results.

    Dhalsim's stand LK is 3 frame start up (i.e: tied as fastest starting normal).

    Wat.

    Of course they'll use them! Don't be dense. They are on the disc. You just use a modded box for the tournament. It's not illegal to mod computers and they won't be playing online.
    Moronic, pfft. Get real.

    Dhalsim's recovery times are painful. I've landed from a jump, pressed the stick up immediately on landing and had to wait for about 3 seconds for him to actually jump.
    Not to mention his borked inputs and how the way characters move in this game completely shuts down what he can do.
    The game's a mess, why people defend bad programming I will never know.

    ...There are a lot of reasons you're wrong.

    The simplest being that a lot of major tourneys are sponsored by the game companies and I don't think they would appreciate people doing that.

    Along with what Page just said.

    Why would tournaments go through all the effort of getting modded consoles to be able to play the DLC characters, when not all of the players own modded consoles and don't have experience playing with the DLC characters? It doesn't make any sense - the players wouldn't want it (losing a tournament to a character you've never played against before?), and the tournament organizers would have to be concerned about Capcom getting mad at them and putting pressure on their sponsors.

    RE Dhalsim: You don't know what you are talking about. Dhalsim's jump is floaty, but he has the same amount of pre-jump (4 frames) and jump recovery (4 frames, 2 uncancellable if you did an attack midair) as everyone else.

    This is what really matters. You don't scrounge together a bunch of modded consoles out of thin air. At local tourneys people bring their own, at majors the venue provides them. Majors are sponsored not only by the game companies, but also by other businesses. Local players aren't going to mod their consoles just to bring to tourneys. On top of that, local tournaments will almost always use the same rules as majors simply because it's convenient for the players and most people will ignore them otherwise.

    People will see playing against the hacked characters as a waste of time. This already happens in games that have banned characters. Some players don't even like to go to gatherings where people will be using banned characters because they think it's pointless to practice against characters that they will never fight in a real match.

    Not to mention that the most common and accepted reason for banning a character in a fighting game is that not everyone has access to them. Which is why bonus characters and console specific characters are always banned by default. Even if 50% of the population had modded consoles and hacked copies of the game they would still be banned for that reason alone.

    Whatever the cause of the problem the game doesn't work. Search youtube if you want evidence of the input problem. Coupled with ropey netcode that gives a huge advantage to one player over the other you have a game that just doesn't work.

    Been dicking around in trial/training mode a bit to get a feel for the combos and stuff. My normal group of bitchez and hos (in order of good to bad, it's a logarithmic scale) Chun, Juri, Cammy, and Ibuki seem a lot of fun. Ibuki actually might get a ton of play from me because c.lp x2 s.mk xx 214k is really easy to do.

    Played around with a few Tekken characters, really weird and interesting. Mostly fooled around with Hwoarang and Asuka. We'll see.

    Asuka's got crazy chain capabilities but as a warning I feel obligated to tell you she has a lot of trouble in the neutral game. Also needs meter to anti-air reliably, which (from my admittedly limited play so far) seems like a liability in this fairly jump happy game.
