    How does the system track disconnects? I had some lame ass ken drop within 10 seconds of the first match of the champ fight because I was juggling his ass all over the screen. At first I'm all "AHA FUCKER! That's more drop % for you!" But now I'm all worried that the system can't tell who dc'd, so it gives both of us a hit. I still have 0% but I've played a bunch of games today so I'm not sure.

    My 360 has lost connection to my internet 3 times so far and I'm still at 0%. I'm still wondering if my opponent is getting it recorded as a drop or if it's just missing it.

    Oh man I feel kind of bad. I trapped Guile in a corner and started spamming fireballs of different height with Gouken. Dude could not get out to save his life. I literally took the last 50% of his health off by just throwing fireballs from a distance.

    Thank you. I hate playing guile so much. I find him and blanka to be the most annoying by far.

    I'm seriously so offended Capcom thinks I'd rather save matches with strangers instead of matches with my friends, that I'm considering boycotting them.

    The logic of putting in recorded matches in such a limited way is so alien to me, I can't even conjure an appropriate metaphor!

    yea why even add replays if you cant just save whatever replays you want? i can see only whatever top ranked matches being uploadable or whatever, but seriously let me save replays of matches locally. ridiculous.

    It might just be me since I haven't played ranked in awhile, but are there shitloads of turtles in championship mode for everybody? This is fucking ridiculous. I played three different Sagats that ONLY backed up, threw fireballs, and did the big roundhouse kick. I played a Blanka that only jumped back, did a ball, then jumped back again. I've played Ryus that just sit there and just try and hit me with shoryukens over and over. Oddly enough, I've played tons of Vegas that did nothing but flying barcelona swan dives and since these guys typically were 1 or 2 bar matches, they were basically unblockable and zero fun to fight.

    I just played about 50 championship matches and I had 1/20th as much fun as I normally have in 5 player matches. Fucking retarded.

    Seriously, all they had to do was add player lobbies and let you save you own replays and everyone would be happy. I don't give a shit about watching the top player's replays, that's what youtube is for and I'd take lobbies over champ mode any day.

    What do you have your search parameters on?

    Most of the time I search with everything at "Any" or create my own match.

    Yeah, four 1bar people join my game in a row, no way in hell i'm playing them and why should I be the one to leave and rehost, they saw the connection before they joined.

    though all it should show in the lobby is the connection and DC rate, names and titles should be hidden.

    That wasn't why, but it still baffles me they can have a tournament mode where you can kick people out until you get someone you want.

    Showing the number of disconnects wouldn't be worth much if you couldn't use it to kick pullers.

    On a side note sounds like that Guile needs to make better use of his sonic booms and ex sonic booms. I've never been trapped by a Gouken player (Akuma would be another story though). Or you could be a much better Gouken than I've ever faced. I'll assume it's that one.

    I was under the impression that the D/C percentage was more to literally restrict people from higher tournaments, rather than "Oh, that guy D/C's, better kick him."

    Haha, that's what I'm feeling right now with the stick - I'm feeling so alien with the stick. I can't do anything I've done with the pad on the stick.

    By jove, how long does it take to get decent with the stick anyway? I still can't do simple moves reliably. This ISN'T FUN at all.

    No it most definitely does, the higher tournaments have cut-offs in relation to the D/C percentage, as in "For GC-1 you cannot participate if your D/C % is over X"

    Man, I love championship mode. It's great to actually be playing against people good at the game even when I lose. And the fixed the ping indicator so I can actually see most everyone's connection rate now.

    Also. Do any Bison playing have any tips for his cr. jab, cr. jab, scissors combo...that move is just so hard to punish and most good Bisons are more than eager to spam it out.

    I just watched a Sagat vs. Ryu replay (it's the top one under "Championship Points" in Leaderboards as of this second) ... and Ryu BLOCKED Sagat's Focus Attack? What the fuck?

    Anyway this new mode is actually pretty awesome now that I spent 20 minutes reading about it online to figure it the hell out.

    The best addition is that THERE IS NOW A NOISE WHEN SOMEONE JOINS YOUR MATCH/LOBBY! I always create a lobby and then wait for someone, and I would have to dart my eyes over from my computer every 10 seconds to see if someone had joined. THANK GOD.

    Nono I feel your pain, and there's always the odd 4 bar game that pops up and I try desperately to get in :(

    I've taken to just hosting my own games though, even though it's usually 1 bar its still pretty decent, my Ryu is absolute garbage though I'll be lucky to have a 25% win rate with him, Blanka on the other hand don't think I've lost yet.
