SF3 OE 360 > SF3 OE PS3 > FC

360 is the best way to play it online. PS3 version is good too, but you can feel the difference between 360 and ps3. FC is cool for most fighters, but it has trouble with the cps3 games. But its better than nothing

What issues does FC have with CPS3 games??? If anything I'd think because they are using an older version of FBA...I could be wrong

yeah. Its not so bad if your playing head to head, but the minute you go online is when you feel it.
Plus you get the blinds everynow and then on fc. Which due to it being glitchy. There are some extra roms available that fix the blind problem and there is another one that will disable music/sound so the game can run smoother online. The fact that there are modified roms for it tells you its not running @ 100%

Fightcade is still running most of it's games on the original GGPO software from '09. They are working on a major update that will fix 3rd Strike and allow more games to be played, but since this is being done for free during someones free time there is no telling when it will be released.

From the GGPO panel at EVO it sounds like the whole netcode was reverse engineered and thats how FC was created...

Was it improved when it was reversed engineered? or did he just copy it 1 to 1 performance wise?

When I 1st got on they said it was the same as GGPO except if they added games. Again the new update would change that.

Many people say Third Strike Online edition is the best. It's definitely not easy putting a cps 3 system together. I wouldn't want to put a system together for just one game. But what are PCBs?
