Sounds like the lag has been improved, but still exists.

I just played a couple of rounds and the lag is still noticeable.

I also apparently installed the game twice......ugh

360 version got a patch today. I played a little with a friend who lives close by and had a little lag. Hope that this clears it up.

Two copies of it sit in my room at the moment, one is for my friend's birthday, and the other is for me. I'm not even sure I want it anymore after hearing about the unbearable lag that's present.

I'll buy that for $10... oh wait hows $15?

wait and see if he takes ten man!


also the lag isn't unbearable playable it's just annoying, make sure to keep that in mind before you make your choice

I played a bit at my friend's house today when I gave him his copy, the game seems sounds, very very basic, but sound, and fun. I'll probably keep it. Or refund it, trade in shit I don't want, and buy it again.

I think you should give it to me for my belated birthday hahahah

Oro i was sure you were setting up some tsundere plan to give me your copy -

it's not like i want to give it to you, i just need to get rid of it because it sucks! Take it and go away!

- but you really botched it with your last post :(

Nah, I ended up returning it, trading in shit I didn't want (guitar hero III and Soul Calibur 4), then saving 30 bucks on repurchasing it.

go for it

I hear the 1.02 patch is out now for PSN, give it a shot

Got a changelist for us?

Below is a quick rundown of what the patch entails:

①Specification changes for data interchange processing during online battles.
■PROBLEM
Since specifications in this game place the most importance in the response to controller key inputs, the player may experience temporary lag.
Slowing operations such as game animation if delays in data reception occur during data interchange in online battles when online connections are less than optimal.

■ DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES
Changes to stand-by times leading up to data reception have been made.
Further, delay times for data transmission in various environments available to online players have been tallied, and specifications added to dynamically alter stand-by times for data exchange to accommodate the slowest environments.

■ RESULTS
Screen slowdowns have been eliminated, allowing for smoother game play.
And thanks to the adjustable stand-by times, it’s possible to provide an enjoyable game environment corresponding to the online connection since gaps in data exchange in optimum environments have been reduced to a minimum.


②Changes to the antenna icon during online battles
■ PROBLEM
During online battles based on a combination of special environments, the blue icon appears regardless of the baud rate and discrepancies may occur with the actual online environment.

■ DETAILS OF CHANGES
The system has been modified to show icons corresponding to the environment reflecting the example given above.


■ RESULTS
Based on the antenna icon display that reflects actual online conditions, the quality of the connection is accurately related to the player to eliminate discrepancies in game action and the display of online conditions.
This makes it possible to accurately grasp online conditions with online battle opponents.


③Operations with chat restrictions
■ PROBLEM
Since the chat function is essential for online matches, users with chat capability restrictions were unable to make the most of the game’s online functions.

■ DETAILS OF CHANGES
When players with chat restrictions enter online rooms, specifications have been altered to disable the exchange of text and audio messages even when they are sent by other players.
Texting and voice chat capabilities can be conducted normally, however, among players with unrestricted chat capabilities.

■ RESULTS
Even if chatting is restricted, players can still take full advantage of other online functions without having to use the chat function to play online battles.
Consequently, a broader spectrum of players can enjoy KOF XII’s online play.



My own info and opinions:

- Size=13MB
- Raiden glitch vs Elizabeth is gone. Chin and Joe infinites may or may not be gone (no one has confirmed it, I never performed them in the previous version so I can't test it).
- Online still sucked for me though I didn't manage to play anyone with better than yellow bars. there is a possibility that I played mostly unpatched people so I will try again tomorrow but I'm not optimistic. however, many people are saying they are having almost no lag now. very mixed reactions to the online play so far, some ppl say it's the same crap (me) others say it's amazingly improved
