Game eating my inputs?

[YellowFlashKid]

So recently I notice a strange pattern of drops in my combo strings. The thing is I never had issue with said combo strings before, even when I was a lower rank than I am currently. Connection seems to be stable and no rollback.

Went into training mode and can execute the combo strings perfectly without issues. Anyone have any clue if the game is eating my inputs or its just one of those days?

I would just watch your replays and check your inputs. If you did the input right and it didn't come out you did it too early or late, you should be able to tell by watching the replay

There was a guy here a few weeks ago insisting the game eats inputs. I got on training mode and shared my screen on discord to show him that inputs do not drop on keyboard, controller, or fight stick. He told me that i was purposely gas lighting him.

As far as i can tell the game does not drop inputs.

Game definitely eats inputs. Could vary depending on platform or connection status, but there is no question about it

Well, I have. During movement, when I press down MK to follow in DI, sometimes the game doesn't register down input and only get MK. When I check my input history, there is a down pressed, but nothing came out.

Also, and don't know why this happening, when I combo with EX moves, the registers like I pressed a single button. Even tho history shows I did EX move.
Not saying it happens all the time, but it happens.

When it happens next time, I'll be sure to notify you.

Kinda have to. Otherwise its just a bunch of people claiming the game drops inputs when really it usually doesn't outside of lag issues.

It does eat inputs. Especially if your opponent drive rushes due to the freeze. This is common knowledge and even the high level tournament players have spoke about it on their streams.

The freeze is supposed to eat inputs. The game is frozen during it.

You should provide evidence. IF anything you'll get an explanation and understand why it happened.

I had a similar thing where a wrong move was coming out with basically the same input as the correct move and I asked about it in SF discord. It was literally a 1 frame input difference and the very generous buffer window that this game has that caused the issue for me.

Couldn't completely reproduce the issue, and as I wish to improve my gameplay. And understanding of the game, too, I made several screenshots with problems I can't quite understand.
I focused to input every move the right way, consistently, yet got different result.

First one is regular motion EX, as you may see in history, EX move came out

Second one is regular motion EX, got Falling Crane

Third one is jab, jab into EX. EX didn't come out, only crouching light.

This might not be the theme of our thread, but still present a problem as it's input related.

You are hitting the button before completing the motion in both second and third which may be your issue.
