Racketeer Online FG matchfinder thread!

[Aramonde]

Yea it's really a shame, the game is beautiful from an artwork perspective and brilliantly executed from a gameplay perspective. I dunno why everyone can't figure out whatever netcode Namco uses, because as of SC5/TTT2 it's nearly flawless with even a 3 bar connection. No form of online will ever come close to matching offline, but stuff like GGAC+R and KOF13's netplay features/netcode are almost unforgivably bad.

I can get over a poorly implemented lobby system like Injustice and SF4, because at least you get to play a halfway decent (connection-wise) match when you finally find someone/a lobby... But netplay so bad that you can't even ATTEMPT to play the game as you would offline is pointless.

Well hopefully with these new consoles we'll get better online netcode. But Cha even Namco doesn't know how to use their code all the time. I heard SCII HD online was bad.


And Cha i know this may be a dumb question but your not KOF player Luis Cha are you?

I wish I was even 1/4 as good as Luis Cha in KoF man! That guy is amazing at all KoF games (and pretty much all SNK fighters in general). I did play against him 2 Evos ago though Got bodied pretty bad... he 1CV'd me twice and 2CV'd me the other.

Just a reminder to practice up and dust off those sticks, more SSF4:AE 2012 is on the way tomorrow! Hope we get another decent turn out!

I got a super cancel off last week (on purpose)! Exciting stuff for me. I have many a goal to be working on this week. Looking forward to it.

HAY FIGHT FANS!

PSN has Soul Calibur V on sale this week for $9.99, $5 for PS+ subbers.

I will has.

[cha cha]

$5 is worth it alone for just not having to pull the disc out and load it every time you wanna play

So if anyone picks this up and has interest in learning it, it's one of my favorite games! I will help you and/or play you if you post up wanting to!

Cya tonight @ 8pm for SF4 everyone!

Cha Cha, my brother, i'm not messing, but i'm actually tied up tonight. I feel bad all the work you're doing and the only week noise and I showed was the week you were gone. Keep on truckin', we'll make it happen soon enough

[noiseredux]

I'll try to drop in tonight. I've got the PS3 moved to my CRT now so I can sit comfortably on the couch with it. And I know for a fact it's updated now haha.

RE: SoulCalibur V - $10 (for non Plus members) doesn't seem like that big of a discount. You can prob get it for close to that physically now right? I had it, briefly. I never got around to playing it online, as I thought the arcade mode was crap compared to IV so I sold it. How's the online though?

[cha cha]

mjmjr- No sweat man, this thing will just keep on rollin' and I am sure you will make it at some point

noise- Yea, I was only speaking on the $5 thing. For the cost of typical snack food consumption in a single day, you can save yourself the trouble of taking a FG you love (if you love it) from it's case and walking it over to a console- forever. Good enough convenience for me!
SC5 and TTT2 have the same netcode, and are by far the best FG netcodes out there currently. Paired with a wonderful and robust lobby system with in-lobby text chat to boot! However, my only "warning" would be since SC5 is a largely dead game in casual circles, you will only find killers wandering the online halls of SC5. So if you are easily deterred by getting your face smashed in mercilessly while learning the new mechanics and how to defend against gimmicks in online matches... I'd suggest sticking to offline play and single player stuff

ps. I agree the single player campaign was half-assed crap in SC5. That is what 'Lost Swords' is supposed to making up for. Basically Lost Swords is what the story mode was supposed to be like in SC5 before they butchered and rushed it out.

I can't ever seem to find SCV physical for less than $15, so I was definitely gonna hop on the $5 train for that. I remember enjoying SCII for what little I played it back in the day, and I figured since cha's always speaking highly of SCV, why the hell not? Plus now I actually have the game that's branded all over my arcade stick.
