Wasn't there a rumor that around the time Japan version releases, a patch/update is planned? Perhaps related to netcode?
I know KOFXII did receive a netcode patch (it improved it a little, but not in the ways most people wanted.)
Hmmm, I think it's all GSS's fault for not providing state of the art netcode,
why would SNKP still do business with that company? THey should have joined forces with Arc Systems Works.
