Any Netplay will give you lag. The DS lags from DS to DS. Even the shitty 360 port lags itsself offline from time to time. Playing MK on a cab straight off a jamma board is the
ONLY lag free way to play, PERIOD.
DS out lags anything, due to the fact the small lttle machine cant handle multiply animations. And most people who lag big time on XBL & PSN are the **** faces who use Wi-Fi as there source of internet connection for their console. MKII doesnt lag that bad, its just that its MKII. The gameplay is a bit slower, hence giving the illusion its lagging more, especially if you play UMK DS alot, or are use to that. Again UMK DS is UMK3 Super Turbo, its about twice as fast as UMK3 Rv1.1 & Rv1.2. (its even faster than MKT!)
Edit: @MKF30, have you played Pink Godzilla yet? No burn, but he has the best Cyrax I've ever played, even over you AND Konqrr. If you havent, seek him out and try to play his Cyrax.
I haven't played him yet, so I couldn't judge or say who has a better Cyrax in terms of mine vs. his directly, but I can say this so far there's no Cyrax(concerning Cyrax) I haven't beaten from an opponent point of view and my Cyrax so far hasn't lost much when I'm on with him(unless I'm playing a much higher tier obviously) so it should be interesting if I should bump into him. When I played MKK, on youtube he gave me PMs saying I had a great Cyrax since I actually beat his Kabal with him a few times(swear to god) and remember reading he killed Pinks Cyrax, but sometimes different players match up differently. Still, I did find that interesting that I actually got a few wins off of him few months ago when we played more.:-D
My other key guys now anyway are Ermac and Sektor, Robot Smoke, Sektor especially I've been killing with hehehe. I remember a few months ago I played Konqrr, and the stryker player(can't remember his name) and both said my Sektor was one of the best, very unique style so I've improved with him over time hehe besides Cyrax. I'd say from what I've read, heard the 3 of us definitely have the best Cyrax's, Konqrr, myself and Pink. Three different styles too, totally.
As for lag, I do definitely agree with you on all consoles/ports lag, but disagree with you on the online lag with DS being the worst, I think PS3 is the worst easily with MK games....and just note my friend has fios the fastest internet you can have currently, so I'm judging from a great connection. I have DSL, he has fios. I played UMK3DS at his place, fine...Xbox at his place...fine with the exception of some freezing here and there(which happens on both UMK3DS and Xbox versions here and there), played MK2 online PS3...sucked, everyone I played was super safe like wayyyy more then both UMKDS and Xbox versions. It was almost as bad as MKA online, which players poorly with anyone 3 star connection or lower...It felt like MK2 which is slower, but super slow and super safe like I couldn't counter. I did notice however different players were slightly better then others, but not by much.
Personally, I don't think UMK3DS is faster then MKT, that game is just insanely fast(especially the N64 version) lol but definitely faster then the Xbox version, it's because of the smaller port but still arcade accurate which I like. Same combos, damage, mechanics etc.
I know MK2 although it's slower in general, it still seems to lag way worse then any other MK online port/game so far. I'd say MK2 for PS3 and MKA for PS2 are the worst easily out of any MK game online, I've played them all between my friends house and mine.:mrgreen:
But hey everyone I guess has their preferences with games, consoles etc.
