anybody else have the problem with really fast characters online not be able to do most of there combos? mine is mileena. what toons do you have combo lag with?
 
any advanced combo that uses tight input and juggling can be difficult or screwed up online with lag. its just the way it is.
 
There are some levels of lag : light, heavy, and unbearable .....

Sometimes you can play, with a minimum delay, others times, you cannot connect any combo, and even move the character forward or back , it's slow, and , sometimes, you can even see the "teleport" effect : things look freezing, and frames seems to be missed during the action .....

Unfortunately, sometimes the lag on MK 2011 is hard, tough, bad and annoying, you cannot do combos in the real time you would like, and you end to be limited to play this game almost as the old MKs 1 and 2, using almost none combo, only isolated moves, like flying kicks, and uppercut ..... even projectiles, you cannot do 4 in a row without annoying delay ..... playing this game in this conditions make your movements predictable , mechanic, robotic, slow motion sometimes ..... when you come back offline, play some ladder after coming from an online session, you feel very frustrating knowing you play good offline, in good conditions, and crap online, with lag.
 
yah my combos are constantly droping even if i put in the combos right from kratos to scorpion. theres times when i press a button once and it'll do that move 6 or more times and it pisses me off.
 
The trick is so input the commands as you would in a single player or a lag free game regardless of what you see on screen.

I am capable if pulling off some decent combos when I ignore what I see on screen as long as my button inputs are exact timing to what I do in practice.

Give it a shot, you'll see what I meant
 
bucketfeet has the way of it. it becomes less about what you see, and more about what you know is supposed to be happening.

It sucks though for those few combos where timing is necessary... But I'll try it ;)

Ya it's a little tough on juggles that require dashes and such, but it's not impossible online.

Again, just try and focus on ur button input timing as it will look different online vs offline
 
true ..most of my games were mixed: light- to hard delay. So there are definitely times when I'm not able to JumpInPunch correctly and drop certain combos ..but I'm dealing somewhat fine with light to medium until now ..Will c if NRS keeps their word.
 
I've had the same experience as bucket feet. If I can do it blind... i can do it online. I've had very little trouble with combo's being messed up by lag. Most of the time I mess one up I usually think I AM the one that messed it up. Does me no good to always blame it on lag, and keep trying the same timings that wasn't working. I instead cope with it and just try and get it to work.
 
With a little unput lag I can get up to 5 hits before it just drops. With heavy lag, I am lucky to get it up to 3. So, until they fix the online issues, I mostly just use specials now with characters that aren't used much.
 
online just sucks on this game, everyone is either cheap as hell, *cough cough* *smoke* *cough cough* or the connection suck ass and i can't time my volly combos anymore, and most people seem to not know combos and only use special attacks.

I hope so bc the lag issue is killin me. It throws my timing off since I practice all my moves in practice mode with no lag and a lot of the complicated combos require great timing.....

I wonder what skarlet 2nd fatality is. She turns to blood and goes into opponent.... But then screen goes white
 
I lag horribly but I'm still able to pull combos I've learned during my time in the dojo. You just have to adjust to it until the online patch goes live.
