Things that you hate/change about VF5 online

I hate the setup for VF5 on XBL. I hate continuiously pressing the "A" button hoping to find a match only to get the "unable to connect" banner. Why can't we have a setup that displays a list of open games and players with streaks so we can challenge them. Something to resemble a "Cyber Arcade" so to speak. I wouldn't mind waiting in line (queue) to take on the top players.

Post your complaints or wishes for change.

 

Does "it's not on the PS3" count as a complaint? /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

 

Less button mashing noobs.

 

not likely

 

1) Pre-match quotes are available just like offline.
2) A small red flag automatically appears by the timer when a ranked battle gets laggy, declaring it a no contest - neither player will take a win or a loss.
3) Disconnects in ranked battles will be treated as forfeits by the player that cannot be communicated with.
4) Ability to start-button through final-round replays and winposes online, regardless of who won.
5) Automatic random stage change between matches when playing sets of friend battles or offline.
6) Partial VF.TV functionality. No live feeds if that would affect lag in-game, but definitely upload match replays to a server afterward for subsequent streaming or on-demand viewing.
7) Ability to save replay data of online matches.

 

1.) Rematch. Even in Ranked. Ability to change character.
2.) Switch between main/sub costume without going back to select.
3.) Ability to turn down matches / see ping when someone joins your match.
4.) Quicker quickmatch. Unable to connect = slowmatch.

 

1) Disagree. It'd be too easy for someone to devour scrubs for consecutive easy wins. As for the character change...I'd agree on a trial basis.
2) Agreed.
3) I'd remove the turn-down-matches option (at least in ranked), but allow players to set standards that would auto-reject matches from poor connections. Even if this essentially bans players with bad connections from most ranked matches, so be it.
4) Absolutely agreed. The entire quick match process needs to be reinvented. First auto-assign (and auto-connect!) to existing hosted games. If that fails, auto-connect to other players looking for quick matches (which I believe the current system doesn't even try).

 

The online function is pretty bare bones, I wish that they would include some of the suggestions you guys have. I also think there should be a ranking/leader board page somewhere.. I don't usually care that much about that stuff but I just think its appropriate.

 

What neobeast wrote. Only 6) and 7) replays should have ONLINE in big letters during playback.

Wouldn't want anyone seeing them think i can't recover from a single float in the entire match

 

There is one buried in the VF.TV menu but that would be my change to online because its ranks by points not rank as it should be or least have filter for. Also a friends ranking filter would be nice also.

 

I have a question about VF5 online.
How about the delay? Is there a long delay/lag if you play versus people from the same country? like "germany vs germany"?

Playing VF requires hit confirmation very often, like looking if the crouching P hits or not before continuing your attacks. So is it compareable with playing offline? Can you give me some impressions?

I had a xbox and played SF3 and Hyper Street Fighter on XboxLive and it was horrible. Even playing with people in the same or close countries. I am wondering if VF5 has the same lags.

 

I tell you what I hate!!!!!!!
These pricks that button mash and trash talk. Some have gotten up to 5th dan, and when you figure them, shut em down and beat ,em they give you bad feedback and youre not allowed to fight them again. I got 9% feedback of non-supportive.

 

9%? I got around 65% for "Unsportsmanlike Behavior" or whatever.

 

That sucks

 

I should put up a disclaimer that Chief Flash's tag was misused just a *bit* over the weekend. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

Um, sorry! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif

 

I only wish you could choose to deny a challenge and view the connection when being challenged. Or maybe gain the ability to deny a challenge if the connection is low, or you have already played that person once that day or something like that.

 

have you been playing cisco alot?

 

I would like to see, if not giving them an L, giving them a negative rank for those that drop constantly. You know something like W-145, L-250, D-24 Disconnects-54. That way you could decide and figure out then if they drop out because of a bad connection, or if they're a habitual dropper.

 

It would be cool if they had had a disconnect stat. It could show how many times someone has disconnected and what the rounds were. That way if you see that someone has 39 disconnects and 30 of them was when he was down 2 rounds to 0, you'd know to stay away.
