Yup. KOF 13 is mainly an offline game. Or you have to be on at certain times to get games.

I figured out something today and Option is right. Ping matters to a certain degree but what makes you lag is how stable your internet is.

My pingtest results was pretty terrible and yet UMVC3 wasn't lagging.

My internet isn't but 5mb and on Speedtest it was getting around 2mb-3mb yet UMVC3 still wasn't lagging but then I noticed all of a sudden it had spikes. I caught the speedtest when it got at its worse. It read 0.3mb. Yes, 0.3mb.

So that's what I assume its doing even if it drops to 2-3mb it isn't going to cause much of a issue but for a example if its reading 4mb for example and it suddenly drops to 0.5 even for a second its going to give spikes.

That's really lame on the cable's part. Where there's so many people in the area its like they leave me with nothing at certain times. Its mostly of the night when it happens.

Now the DSL service makes more sense to me. The ping on it was higher than the cable in general and yet it played way better than the cable does so I thought that's really weird shouldn't the lower ping be better? Then I noticed with the DSL service when you do a speedtest its always the same speed. Always.

I got to noticing with the cable internet at times its all over the place which sucks and they really should fix that. Its like just because people in your area is using it. There might as well be someone in your house using your internet. Its about the same effect.

I can't get over what the woman told me the last time. She said I seem to be the only one to have any issues with the cable anymore. I wanted to say that might be because everyone in my area is old men/woman that browse the internet only and don't know the difference.

Def that DSL is better. I wish I had got it 2 years ago or whenever it came in. I can't wait to get it. They better come the 2nd. I guess its because I wanted to ditch cable so badly is why they didn't come.

Its funny to me how the cable company seems to blame the users lately instead of there service.

I noticed something else tonight. The cable company is pretty shady to do this. With the speed test somehow when you go to www.speedtest.net instead of doing the regular thing. It is locked to a certain town that is like maybe 20 miles away at most and that is why I couldn't figure out why the speedtest was usually fine and the pingtest was horrible but I figured it out a long time how to get around it and get a true speedtest from the site. Its really sad that they make the speedtest automatically go to something insanely close that is always going to be fine. Its like they don't want anyone to know how bad there service actually is and when you call them out on it they tend to turn it around and make it the fault of the users or they will see all the info from the test and they will say well there's nothing we can do about it.

Honestly all the trouble I've had with the cable and having it for years. I wouldn't get it again when they had fiber optic unless I got to see it in action for several weeks.

Tekken Tag 2 coming soon, hype.

I'm not the biggest Tekken fan but the first Tekken Tag was my favorite hands down. I'll buy it on day one. It should be worth it.

At least by then I'll have good internet service to play it on.

That's another reason I never got that KOF96 or whichever one you told me to get off of psn. I knew if KOF 13 was dead online to that would be as well.

I played KOF Sky Stage it wasn't to bad. It was worth the 5 bucks I paid for it.

Is garou still coming to psn? I remember hearing that a long time ago.

The best part of KOF 96 is that for some god forsaken reason, it has far better online than XIII. I thought that KOF 13 would have great netcode because the netcode in 95 and 96 kicks ass. It's like SNK listened to all the complaints on the past neo geo station games then fixed them for the new batch. Unfortunately everyone just disconnects when I kick their ass.

Does anyone have spare JLF PCBs that I can buy? ;_;
Just the PCBs, not the full stick.

That happens a lot lately. The fighters released on psn by the same company has better netcode than the disc games.

A good example of that is Third Strike compared to most Capcom's retail disc games.

Skullgirls had really good netcode. More fighters should use ggpo and be set up like Skullgirls. Most fighters let you select same region and search by that. In Skullgirls you can set it where you was such as east coast and search for east coast games only. It would be nice if more fighters was set up that way.

Would be nice if Uncharted 3 was region locked. I know it has nothing to do with fighters but the people that play it out of Japan or have Mex in there name. They lag way worse than I ever have before. I was watching a guys cam and I honestly don't see how he played at all. The lag was like he was on dial up. It was like he was moving at 4-5 frames per second the entire match.

Played UMVC3 with Option IV last night. It didn't play as good as usual but I assume its my internet like always. I notice if we play around 10:30 or so right when it gets to 11pm or a little after its suddenly way smoother. I've noticed that before.

There's one thing I don't understand it don't matter how bad my internet is it always plays better with Option than it does random people and Option lives insanely far away and I'm sure some of the randoms are closer so that isn't the issue.

Either way I can't wait till I get that DSL. I noticed with the DSL when I was at friends house that UMVC3 played a little bit slower than what it does with the cable when the cable is better but I noticed with the dsl it doesn't have lag spikes or slow down suddenly like the cable does. Its solid the whole time. Plus there's was the slower internet speed and I'm getting the faster one. There DSL is just 2.5mb and it did way better than my cable that is 5mb. So it proves my cable is really all over the place. If it stayed up near 5mb it would be alright.

I bought a item off Amazon and I used my paypal debit card. For some reason the money is back in my account and the status for it says expired. Amazon already shipped my item. In all my 8 years of buying/selling games I've never seen the status expired on Paypal before. I guess I should contact them and let them know what's up. I assume they will still get there money or will it just say expired forever?

What can I say about your internet that hasn't been said already? I hate it, it's slow, the lag comes whenever it feels like much like an unwanted family relative. It's played out, it was slow back in 1999, and like Iraq, it's full of holes. I hate your internet . It's made out of the finest wires of 1969. Your internet is an embarrassment to real internet everywhere. South Korea is laughing at you. Japan is laughing at you. Even Canada is laughing at you and their internet sucks the llama's ass. I'm a Player hater, I will continue hating on everything. Good day, and may all the horrible things on internet webspeed happen to cheapest gamer.

Paypal debit cards expire every 2-3 years for me. They'll send you a new one.

Not the actual card but a payment I sent on paypal says expired. I just got a new card last month actually.


What you said about my internet made me laugh my ass off. It should have made me mad instead, oh well.

I love hating. I ruined Japanese rpgs for some teenagers on Friday. They were asking me what my favorite final fantasy was. I told them that all Final Fantasys suck and that the storylines are borderline retarded but an intellectually stunted highschooler might find them fascinating.

I went into great detail about how the storylines suck and all that shit. I ruined them.

So what's up with that payment? Will it just show that forever or will it get straightened out. I am cheap but I'm not going to rip off Amazon.

That payment to Amazon that said expired suddenly said completed again. Not sure why they give you your money back and suddenly take it again.

My Vita is will come today. I need to buy some games for it. It comes with a game but nothing I really want.

Vita came today and it looks brand new when it was listed in good condition on Amazon.
