Please think of the improvements in KOFXII's netcode post-release as movement in the right direction and a positive FOUNDATION for things to come.
The online functionality in KOFXIII is still VERY early in development and is, more importantly, a HUGE priority.
As soon as we're all decompressed from E3, we'll get to work reviewing your questions and compiling your feedback!
