Pretty annoying thing with Kabal

Well, I was playing the arcade ladder with Kabal, and next fight against CSZ in the Pit Bottom, so everytime I do a DB2 or a Throw it lags, yh OFFLINE LAG, wtf? So i said well it must be just a thing of the moment, so I restarted the match, the same, LAG, I turned off the console (PS3), remove the disc and inserted it again, I went to 2P versus, and I set Kabal against CSZ in teh Pit Bottom, LAG, really annoying, the lag is worse when I use the hooks special DB2.
Then I tried fighting against CSZ in other stages, no lag, then I tried against other chars in the Pit bottom, no lag, so the lag only happens with Kabal against CSZ in the Pit Bottom.

Can anyone check in their games if the same happens, better if its in a PS3 cause thats the system I own.

If anyone wanna try ill tell you how here (ill give +rep)

Go to 2P versus (offline)
Set the Pit Bottom
Play as Kabal
Against CSZ
And do the DB2 Hooks Special move

And tell me if you feel the lag, is really obvious, I just wanna know if its my game or what.

It would be better if you have a PS3 and Skarlet, so our games are in the same circunstances, thanks. =)

Yep. Just tested it and got the lag. Probably too much background stuff going on.

It seems to only happen with CSZ as the opponent. Pretty odd stuff.
 
Wow, at first I was like this dude must be lying. I tried it and was surprised it actually lagged offline. Good find, hope they patch this fast.
 
I got some offline lag in practice last night (Liu Kang VS Sub-Zero). Everytime I tried Kang's 2,1,3 starter it would lag out, I though it was because my Xbox was going to die on me but after a while it stopped doing it.

I'm kind of scared now that I've seen this thread lol ... :\
 
Thanks for trying guys, Im glad is not me, is the game.

It happens with CSZ in most of the stages but in the Pit Bottom is too obvious, I think it has something to do with the stuff in the back like jinko said + the cold air effect CSZ emanates when he is hooked and throwed.

Maybe is too much for the game and the engine they are using, that from what I know is a pretty old one.

+rep to you =)
 
I have just tested it on xbox 360 with Skarlet downloaded, Kabal vs Cyber Sub-Zero at the pit bottom, but I had no lag experience at all.
Kabal performs his tornado slam with no problem.
Odd

Maybe it's a problem with the PS3 version

I was just about to post this.
 
Well is already know that 360 has smoother gameplay, PS3 works is a bit slower in some xrays.

This is because most of the companies build the game for 360 and then make a crappy port instead of making 2 different builds, same happened with RDR who had the worst offline lag ever, everytime you went to a town, oh god, lag town...

Companies are lazy and want to save money...

Same, each platform seems to lag in different places. My guess is it's a coding thing and/or each system being better at handling certain things in certain situations (shaders, post processing, etc).
