I can now proudly say, that I went to my first offline casuals last night and it was awesome.
I can now fully appreciate how garbage online is.
I've always known the online wasn't the greatest. Even more so when my combos wouldn't work most of the time, yet I'd have no problem pulling them off offline against the cpu or in practice. Had to make sure it wasn't just me when that happened. haha
Sadly, online is STILL laggy.
Input delay also kills me, as far as combos go.
I play this game offline ALL THE TIME, but unfortunately I don't know of ANYONE here locally that loves Mortal Kombat as much as I do, for me to practice with. :-(
^^Why NRS, why did you use GameSpy for network?
Immortal, have you played any offline, in a competitive setting?
Last night I played the game with some of the UK's elite players. Offline is so much different to online, more than I realised.
Even with people I have near perfect connection with, it's like the game is running one or two frames slower. Like I said before, I can hit Sindels 44, 1, dash, 1, dash, 111 hairgrab, all day in offline. Online, not a chance. It sucks that with online, you almost have to dumb the game down.
