You were in my lobby tonight. I'm from the US so I doubt we could play without some massive lag.

yeah, i almost never play with ppl overseas, there might not be noticeable lag, but there's always an annoying delay of at least over 100ms.

P1aatt we have played on xbox each other. I am today on ps3 14 pm - 15 pm I am online so I would be glad we can face our strength on the battlefield but only if you have time today ._.

Hello Sama, what's your GT on xbox? I'm not sure if I can make it at that time, but we'll see.

Nameless Sama

Hello Brute! Yeah, I'd love to fight some of you Americans, I've watched lot's of those Cups by DestructionBomb, and would love to measure my skill vs you guys. Damn speed of light too slow.

Shall not be a problem. I've already fought some matches with DestructionBomb (will upload one of them soon) and even I was red-bar to him, we had no lag/delay. Brute kicked my ass only one time and in this match, there was a small delay but not to bad, still playable.

Yeah PewPew I know there is not lag, not the stuttering kind with Americans, if both have good connections. But because the speed of light and the signal is limited, with great distance comes an input delay. It is there, trust me, and can mess up punishing and interrupting strings, as examples.

But yeah you're right, it CAN be playable, depending how you define playable.

When I want to do a counter attack or a crush like, let's say a 6P, and it hits and the animation is visible as soon as I pressed the button as I'm expecting, in other words when I don't see/feel any difference from playing in a 5/4 bar connection, than I consider it to be well playable.

Of course, there is always a delay, but mostly people forget that it affects both players the same way. And if you know that you don't have the best connection to your opponent, you should just adapt your playstyle (e.g. throw punishment) or simple stop playing online. If the match is laggy like hell, just finish it best possible and try to avoid fighting these opponent again.
