I'm online on PSN right now. Unfortunately I can confirm the netcode is REALLY bad.

Holy crap. The gameplay is slow as hell and the timing for even basic combos is COMPLETELY skewed. Only person I can play with decently right now is Sub-Zero.

For some reason I cannot choose anything other than Tag modes.

Gonna put in SSF4 to see if this is just an MK problem or a network problem.
 
They're still getting PSN back to the rest of the world, might be a reason for it beeing slow.
Let's hope it will be better in a day or two.
 
Netcode probably isn't going to be fixed until the entire PSN is back up and running, aka the next patch.
 
At least you're on. I didn't enter my Kombat Pass Kode before the crash and I can't even now that PSN is back up. "Service Unavailable."
 
Sorry guys. :(

I just played Street Fighter HD remix AND Super Street Fighter 4 online and they play flawlessly. Went back to MK and played with Sonya and Kitana, and it's like they're stuck in molassus. I mean even basic bread and butter combos don't work.

You can't enter online passes right now so I did the 2 day pass thing.
 
so redeeming online code works fine i take it? Also I'm on PSN right now PSN: Zephna feel free to challenge mez~
 
Ya know the suckiest part? We couldn't play MK9 online for over a month and we finally get it back and it's just as shitty as it was on launch day. At least they claim to be doing something about it. I had faith in Sony so I can assure you that I have faith in NRS.
 
I played online a little before the PSN went down, it was HORRIBLE.

It's Mortal Kombat, not PSN.

Hopefully NRS sorts this out, with all their boasting about online they have no right to screw us over like this.
Agreed. I'm telling you even basic MK2 gameplay doesn't work here.

I'm realmblazer on PSN.

I'm on a 2 day trial. Redeeming codes don't work at the moment.
 
No need to worry I already talked to Ed Boon today personally here in Las Vegas and he is fully aware of the lag issues and told me they are currently working on the patch for lag
 
Okay, now it's a little better, funny thing is that I'm doing better with characters I only recently got into (Liu Kang, Sub Zero), while I'm lame with Kitana and Mileena.

The games to new to really master anyone, its gonna take some time to really learn each character to there full potential.
 
It's really much the same crap netcode that we all experienced on Day 1 when PSN was still up. I guess PSN's all new infrastructure had no effect. It's up to the devs/gamespy to fix this now.

1v1 seems lagfree, but KOTH is the same old lagfest. And plenty of 'sessions no longer available'.
 
Good games with Zephna - your Jade is no joke, especially that 6-8 hit juggle into Xray combo.

Now realizing that my Ermac is extremely weak against jumpins. I couldn't land my Kitana/ Mileena combos for the life of me the timing seems screwed. Considering I consider those my mains and I did a better job with my "subs", guess I need more practice.

Now it's taking forever to join another match.
