Is the xbox patch out? I downloaded an update today when I was going to play a quick match but I didn't check what it was as I was in a hurry. I'll check later tonight. It might have been the patch or an xbox system update.
It was an update for the dashboard, it made stuff bigger. No DOA5 patch yet.

Jab = 10i, Standing k = 13i
6p = 13i, 6k = 13i
2p = 13i

I'm pretty sure 6p is 12i? Otherwise, yeah, she's basically "average" speed. Fast is really only Kasumi and Christie.

Online seems much improved, but still has problems. I can't tell if I'm dropping inputs or my controller is cocked up; I kept going for 41236/214 throws with Tina and Mila and getting low holds instead all night (that happens offline, so possibly a controller problem), or trying to 66f+p with Mila and somehow getting 6f+p into high counter into screwed (wtf?). It wouldn't be quite as rage inducing if I could, you know, throw the fucking Christie spammer after the 19th ppppp I blocked, but nope, I just eat the next mashed out string in the buffer; throw punishment still seems to be impossible, which makes Helena magically safe from everything and therefore a fucking nightmare online. But it's probably on the level of VF5FS, I would still have situations in that game where I would block a 2p and eat the next one even if I elbowed on time. It's just depressing to do better when you mash than when you try to play right. Especially when you pick not Jann Lee.

The Xbox is getting an update to the New Xbox Experience, allowing for Internet Explorer or Xbox.

^There's more to it than that, but that's one of the big ones. I hope the final update is more stable than the ones I've been testing...

Oops. Yeah, it's 12i. Her 6k is actually 14i not 13.

Everything but her jab is a frame slower than the norm for striking characters.

Thank Christ they aren't doing full blown balance patches yet

Remember what happened with MK9? Yeah, let's wait a few more months at LEAST before we talk any balance patches

Why the hell do I get so many laggy players post patch? I never had that many people with such terrible connection. To me, it feels like the netcode worsened... And no, nobody is downloading pron in my house right now.

I actually never found SCV or TTT2's online to play any smoother than DOA5's is anyway. T6 is the best I've seen so far. Could be the crap UK hubs messing with 'em though.

Man, Microsoft needs to hurry with that patch...going back to XBL from PSN, every match felt like it had input lag or lag in general, even 5 bars connections

Okay what exactly is better? To me the online is still sh** and can barely even stand playing this game. I still don't seem to be able to counter/block the way I should among other things. For those saying it's better please elaborate. Either everyone I'm playing is on wireless or downloading porn or this netcode just still sucks. Even people I have 5 bars with lag. How is this netcode better? Still can't see how this will help people get better at the game.

It's definitely not my connection. I don't play wireless and I don't have trouble with other fighters like VF5FS. I don't download or share my network especially when playing online. So what gives?

Sad thing is I still have better matches with the Japanese than with players in the U.S half the time.

A TON of people play with their PS3's on shitty wireless connections that are under the recommended speeds for online gaming. I remember a friend of mine using DSL speed internet for his PS3 (when he had it), and games like Call of Duty: Black Ops lagged like a bitch.

Is there a new practice mode glitch?

I used the select+R2 command to reset the position in practice, and couldn't move or do anything but my inputs showed up on the screen.

Going into the menu and selecting "restart" manually fixed it, but select+R2 seems to take away my control.

Anyone else have this problem?

People sometimes forget that every connection is made up of three things: the server, the user and the other user.

Sometimes, the fault is with the other user.

I can't wait to try online to test my skillz but I rather wait until the netcode gets better
because I definiely don't want to go through another cheating bullshit lag club just like
DOAD online.

I just got off the 360, I didn't see any changes nor was I forced to download a patch. I guess I'll confirm it tomorrow, or someone else will.
