Ok guys, I think here is some highlight points:
Ok some online impressions
- I was playing against a chilean friend who lives at 30 km from me (don't know how many miles are that, I think that maybe 20 miles)
- The game felt a bit laggy, but even though I was the host, he didn't dropped almost any combo, we had 3 bars, while the maximum is 4
- Now here is the deal,
1) we don't have the super connections that maybe lots of north americans had
2) He was using wifi AND the pc which his wife was using
So overall, I couldn't yet give a proper impression
About the interface, well, in player match, select stage is random, you never pick it, that's why I was able to play on Esaka 96, this stage is cool, looks exactly like the original one, even the screens where the players appeared was replaced for the actual artwork of the game. And no, nobody purchased it since there is no dlc on the marketplace
You can save your replays on your own HD, which is nice since you could later upload them using some video-cable
You don't had titles, only icons, you had to unlock them
Even in player matches, you can upgrade your ranking, ala blazblue
and that's it, I hope to test it with northamericans, I had the feeling that will run better than against some chileans (IN sf IV I had a friend which opur matches are incredible laggy, but with other countries run fine)
And please no use wifi : (
Take all these facts in consideration! I think is satisfactory enough!
Now, (I remind: I'm in France and my copy is PS3 version)
Like I said I played vs an UK player, and NO noticable lag!
And this last point was literally shocked me!
I play vs a Saoudian, with 1 bar (red connexion)
and 50% time, the game runs properly, practically normal (without lag), and others 50% lag present, but, how to say... no cuts/jerks, the effects of lag are something very smooth, like a replay... like speed only slows down, but how incredible it is, all my commands and combos came out!!! o_O
to be honest, before match starting, and when i saw 1 bar (red), I expected someething ala SF4, cuts, or deconnection, but nothing!!! and we were able to finish match quietly... AMAZING!!
so, I am aware, its just 2 matchs, but what I saw, I'm tempted to say that online is really better than SF4!!!
pending further feedback!
(sorry about my engrish hahaa)
