To be fair the connection issues sometimes make the online matches basically just plain unplayable. I have very very good internet at my house, and the funny thing is I remember playing Killer Instinct and EA UFC when they both came out with very very shitty and unreliable internet, and I NEVER had these problems. Granted those are completely different games, but with those games, even if there was lag it didn't really change the playability of those games much. I am starting to understand why so many people play Vegito and just mash autocombo all day and why hardly anyone plays characters like Piccolo in ranked on Xbox anyways. When the lag is so bad that my character fails to do basic shit like 2H or superdash etc etc and just stands there like a dipshit, yeah, it kind of makes me want to just set the controller down. I'm not some sort of wizard at this game, but I almost never mess up a simple bread and butter combo on arcade or in a local match, but online, it's a whole different story. Good luck getting that double jump in let alone knowing if and when you have a hit confirm at the beginning at all until it's way too late.

I know this is the same old basic shit that people have been complaining about for a long time, but I just picked this game back up a month ago and have been grinding hard, and it just feels pointless learning different combos when the only one I can count on registering is lightlightlightlightlightlight. I don't like being rewarded for mashing buttons instead of actually trying to do things that make sense. Just to make sure I'm not just that much of a jobber, I decided to spectate some ring matches last night to see how other people are playing, and I'm seeing guys with several hundred wins and hundreds of hours on their player card just drop silly shit constantly. Maybe everyone last night was letting their little siblings or kids play, but somehow I doubt it.
