is it just me or do the lagswitches start up bigtime after 1000 lp in ranked? I was fine up until this afternoon lag wise, but my last two matches were slideshows (one of which only started suddenly after I clean clocked a dudes cammy first round)

maybe all the bad connections just jumped online around 4pm eastern and its all one big coinkydink

vvv I just went back and looked at the replay, the cammy player was on ps4 and I'm not a scumbag so there's no alt-tab shenanigans happening (unless you can kinda do the same thing by putting the game in the background on the console)

^^^ Not sure! The share button seems to do... Something. But I'm not sure what exactly.

I've stopped fighting PC players in Ranked altogether. Shenanigans afoot. My understanding is players can alt-tab out of the game between rounds and alt-tab back in and the opponent's connection takes a shit.

Lag switching is crazy on PS4 games. I first started noticing it on Destiny and every now and then on SFV. It's crazy, never ran into it on XBO, although I guess with a larger audience there are more douchebags.

did a first to 5 against Firstblood. he felt sorry for me so he let me win a couple of games. fun time though. Necalli out ranges Laura in just about every way. hard matchup.

Oh yeah, GGs!

I just got trounced by some Nash because I kept thinking his stupid EX qcf-K was going to crossup. Eating the full combo after it is so demoralizing.

I fought the same R. Mika 4 times in ranked. I got beat once and figured out her shit, relied way too heavy on the cross up body splash, couldn't keep up with a slow sonic rushed in with a low kick.

I don't know why, I just fucking suck at this game. Something just isn't clicking.

Good games with Bacon last night, apparently lots of people Redbox-ing the game and that's fine by me.

Like Chux I fought the same person in ranked a few times last night, first time that's happened. Offense is good but sometimes you really have to block. This dude did not understand that.

There seems to be this phenomenon now of 'get bodied' > 'rage quit' > 'incessantly send fight requests' going on, I've had it happen twice now.
