Hate Speech: When Worlds Collide (Revisited)

My biggest wish for SCV was that they would fix the netcode, and Project Soul sure did come through in a big way. I can block lows on reaction! And better yet, I can use lows with a clear conscience! lol

To Namco & Soul Calibur 5! :)

Thanks dude...ah. well Otakon 2012 here I come!

Well, Con tournies are an ok place to start, but they're not really the same as a real competitive event. The turnout is usually fairly large from what I hear (won't catch me dead at an anime con lol) but the level of players is generally fairly low or diluted. I've known mid level tourney players that have gone and spent most of their time stylin on people with one hand, or playing with their eyes closed.

Not discouraging you from entering or going, especially if you're already going as an anime fan. And it's still a win or go home situation that you're entering, which can help in some ways. But with so many subpar players, it's not a REAL tournament, per se. Probably closer to irl online ranked match, lol.

So far ive had mostly decent experience with the online evi of sc5, i do however get occasionl desync and lagtacts. lol funiest thing was the guys who still tried that mitsu 1a & 2k bullshit tact. gotta love that nerf on hellsweep. anyway. im using raphael and standing on a solid 81-83% win ratio and only few times lost % due to stuff i would deem lagtacts /natsu bombers are horible againt raphys poor fast response games... dam 6bb just gets avoided can only rely on 6k which has way to big start up concidering online reaction needed

I still get salty if I lose against low high mix ups that I know I could have blocked without the lag in certain matches. It still feels way too great to block Natsu's 6A+B on reaction though. Also, RIP Asta lag sweep mixups. You will not be missed. Algol's 1A is still kind-of a bitch when he shoots a bubble first. You can step both to the left but I find myself getting hammed on by it too much.

It really helps since the people I play against offline main Yoshi, Leixia, Mitsurugi, Xiba and Viola. That is a very small percentage of the cast but when i factor in online, I have friends who main Hilde, DJ, Asteroth, Rapheal, Cervantes (even though he currently sucks at the game) and Ezio. Add that to the characters I actually play myself and I end up with a great deal of knowledge about most of the cast.

I also don't have to get msg talking about how I'm abusing lag lows when people just hold the guard button for dear life and I decide to do one or two lows just to open you up. I always thought I was breaking grabs consistently in SCIV and I probably was.

This online experience is amazing.
