parry guys with ping 100+?

[exterminator_fx13]

why i cant? i have 20-25ms

[MadMek]

Because of how the lag compensation works. Having high ping effectively makes your attacks faster.

[Porkwhitemeat]

yup. whatever your ping is above 66 or 64ms you get an advantage of i.e. if you have 100 ping their attacks come out 44ms faster. I cant remember if lag compensation is 64 or 66ms.

pretty wacked huh. People actually make the argument that its "better" because it lets more people play LOL. Mean while every normal person rage quits and doesn't want to play anymore. connection problems has been the core of the main problems for this game since launch and theyve yet to address kicking laggers. Theyve tightened ping restrictions 1 time i think but i constantly see people with pings spiking from 50s to way over 100. Played countless games with people pinging in the 180s and never kicked..

a lot of people join a "friend" from whatever country and they get stuck in your lobby. If the inverse were true and that the lagger was most affected then everyone would be fine with it but this isnt the case.

This. And it has become one of the most annoying feature of this game for me.

You try to parry. The timing seems ok to you, you've parried this basic move from neutral a million times before. And then, the game tells you "no, you mis-timed it" and you eat the blow in your face.
You die. You open the scoreboard, check the ping of the guy. It looks ok-ish at arround 60+, no huge spiking... At first glance.
This guy is now facing one of your team mate and then the 'magic' happens, the ping spikes from 60 to 120+ each time the guy performs an action.

This lag-switching of sort, be it done on purpose or not because of bad connection, is just infuriating, because you keep on failing against guys who aren't even playing really better than you.

There is nothing Devs can do about this. Since people sometimes intentionally download big files or etc when they game...

Something like that. When I first encountered lagswitches I thought oh their latency is high they cant react to my lights so I tried light spamming. Turns out his latency only effected me lol.

I swear sometimes it feels like playing against ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ diavolo or jotaro kudo

Theres a problem with parrying in general with this game. Many times ive parried a bot in 1v1 duels and ive seen my character do the animation for the parry, but have the hit go right through it. It doesnt happen all the time, but its annoying when it does.

this is false..... they can do something about it and lag switching SHOULD not be as beneficial with dedicated servers vs p2p servers. i.e. generally with dedicated servers the lag switch advantage is nill because it usually makes them laggy as well.

also they could tighten their ping restrictions so if people have spiking pings they get the boot.

There is this sense of entitlement with all these stupid kids nowadays where everyone gets a trophy and a free lunch. Im serious this ♥♥♥♥ translates into even stupid video games. Back in the day people got kicked ALL the time for ping.

now they stream, download, etc with ♥♥♥♥ ass internet oh and on WIFI LOLZ with their spiky pings. Their problems are everyone elses problems you see its a "shared" problem and you be damned if you use a wired connection etc. its socialism of the gaming world voila.

I DO NOT CARE if you have "bad wifi" or lag switch the result is the same and this is the sense of entitlement that i am referring to. the problem would be solved if they just boot everyone who has an inconsistent ping. problem solved, buuuutttt no. everyone "deserves" to play despite intentionally or unintentionally spiking their ping.

heaven forbid if people with "bad wifi" have to do what everyone else that doesnt have "bad wifi" does and use a wired connection, stop downloading etc.

[Porkwhitemeat]

how about we just make 2 game modes for everything we can call one the "bad wifi" the other "normal person" and then if your ping spikes in the normal person server you get the boot quick fast and in a hurry. let all the people with "bad wifi" ping spike each other to death.

[Porkwhitemeat]

its not like gaming requires some ungodly amount of bandwidth and a 100,000 dollar per month internet service. jesus christ.

You know as well as I do if Devs had a solution to this they would have fixed it by now. What you care or dont is a little concern to them sadly.
