So many chinese/asian players...
So, the last, if I counted right, 9 invasions I've done, -every- player has been chinese/asian, if their gamertags/in-game names have been any indication. And, the ew times I -do- get an invasion on anybody from ANYWHERE else, the difference is palpable. My setup has a consistant 130+ Mbps internet speed, and connecting to nigh any other source gives me 0 lag or delay in-game. Yet, if I'm connecting to someone in china, that connection drops. I get lag, delayed inputs, delayed attacks on enemies, etc. It's absolutely ridiculous. Especially when I do't experience any of these problems with friends who live in russia, italy, even down in chile. Why is it -just- china/asia with these problems!?

It's like that with every online game. I run into a huge amount of Chinese and South Americans during my invasions.

Gotta love when they can just walk out of my combo.

The input lag increases when you play across regional servers. I do not know where the servers are located for this game, but assuming from general practice Namco Bandai will very likey
have different servers, one for Asia, another for Europe and one or two servers for the Americas.

If the matchmaking takes you to an Asian or an American Server, you will experience higher ping and therefore lag. In Europe, you will connect natively to a regional server and thus have lesser ping and no lag.

Even if you have 1 Terbyte of internet speed, it makes no difference, the rerouting of data exchange in a far of region is not direct. There are services that can help ease your lag if you connect to other regions or you could simply turn of Cross Region matchmaking and play in your regional server and you will be golden.

Anything upto 100ms ping is found to be acceptable in online game play, anything above 100ms to anywhere between 200ms is sometimes noticeable and could hinder your gameplay very marginally especially when package transference between your PC and the server takes a dip.

Anything above 250ms is not conducive for competitive gameplay like PVP as you are disadvantaged against another with better connectivity.


Hope this helps.


Ye, chineese go away

Im asian but im not chinese does that still count? lol
The only true pvp is couch/lan pvp. It's always the same with online games unless they are turn based. Btw, ♥♥♥♥♥♥ are greatly known for being pro cheat engine users.

I get banned for saying things that arent even a fifth as bad as what y'all are saying.

I hope all chinese players get cancer, the majority of them HACK! So, since u cannot ban Chinese IP's nor block their country all together, i sincerely hope they all get nuked and die a horrible death. They need to be iradicated from every game that does not have a server just for them. They need to be isolated.

Just to be correct its players with poor internet that causes the problems, Yes chinese , south american but anyone who has poor internet the lag will be bad. Unfortunately the players with this think they are gods at the game and use the exploit to win against far better players.
