FYI- PS3 sticks don't work with this, $15 well wasted.

Yeah i'll definitely hold off then. I really only want to buy it support SNK but and the LB property but I can already play this on my Wii DC PS2 or PC. I'm in no hurry to buy this if i cant even use one of my current sticks on it.

Here is me playing the best ping rate I could get today as Lee. I got a 90ms one last night and the game was somewhat playable at least... but yeah, this shit is bad.

Jesus christ. There is a reason every big fighting game uses rollback these days. Hell, netherrealm completely redesigned their online play from the ground up for rollback.

So I picked this up today and played a few rounds online....

Plays like fucking garbage online. It lags so bad you can tell before the match starts cause the music is so slow. The lag on input is laughable. Its so bad. I seriously am going to write SNK a hate mail and tell them i will no longer support them until they can make the same high quality products like they did in the 90's and beyond.

As much as i want to support SNK I cant keep holdong onto the hope that someday they will be good again. Theyre either going to have to get their act together to get my support or slowly fade away into nothing.

Now, the one player is decent. Its in 4:3 and has scanlines. Input is decent. I think one player its a viable option to obtain last blade 2 for a fair price.

But the online is in no way a reason to pick this up. Its a fucking joke.

the lag is bad but its only if you play against people above 60 ping i experienced. You can cancel the game in the lobby if you see the opponent having a high ping, you can also play the arcade mode and search for online opponent at the same time. So you can play the single player/training and search for a right opponent with low ping i experienced.

I still think its worth the money,you get it on both PS4 and PSvita as crossbuy, i am playing it on my PSvita TV thing because it doesnt require PS+ to play online and i can still use a lan connection and my PS4 controller on it. Its perfect if you dont have a PS4 or a real vita to access this game.

You also get a Last Blade 2 OS theme on both vita and ps4 OS.

The graphics are arcade perfect except..... this one fire level where there forget the heat effects just like on the Dreamcast... I am thinking about making a thread on their forums and complaining

I played all afternoon and only had one opponent that didnt lag, out of dozens. A few were bearable.

I guess i dont regret my purchase either, it was only $13.00. Its just frustrating that the online sucks so bad. The majority of players seem to be UK and Japan, so thats most likely a big part of it. But still i could play guilty gear, blaz blue, and street fighter online with little issue. So I dont see why it's so hard.

Here are two things I dont like that are more gripes.
1. The game doesnt have a damn manual. I opened it up and there was nothing related to the game. It is pretty sad they couldnt even scan the damn thing and upload it.

2. 9/10 times the vs online stage is the fire stage. I wish there was a way to randomly select a stage. Maybe there is, but i dont see it.

3. So many people play "mask mode". Life and super bar hidden. So annoying.

It's really a shame how companies cant be bothered with even trying these days. Anything thats emulated is shit. Why they cant actually afford to even make a real port is beyond me.

and i have it on my Neo Geo for free, just playing roms doesnt help SNK to make a new one.

I talked to the developers in their forum and they said they are working on a solution

That's cool that they are replying and making an effort to address it. I own it on aes, dc, steam, and my modded xbox...... that said I'm still gonna get it.

I want to see snk release a sequel or at least other fighters again. They won't do that if they have no support.

yeah the code is bad.... I've had the game completely freeze and crash multiple times.

I've been playing and found a few good connections and players.

There have been only 2 people I have been unable to beat thus far. One guy named "radisonfire" is exceptionally good. And another guy that just uses Shingen.

I'm slowly working on converting my Keiichiro from power to speed. But the lag in a lot of games makes the timing hard for speed combos.

Posted on Code Mystics page about the netcode. Dude did not answer my question and "corrected" me on my mention SF3: Third Strike 300ms ping yet the game would run fine, lol. I don't think they are going to do anything about it. They will just fix the no need for touchpad to continue issue and the burning stage crashing and heat effect. So, I have just another home only port of LB2. FML!!! Well, since a lot of us here are in the US and have pretty good ISPs.... maybe we should all challenge each other to see if we get better ping rates.

Or don't bother with the headache and just play on fightcade instead.

I read there was an effect missing from the flaming house stage, the background is missing the heat wave effect. I don't remember this from the mvs or ps2 versions though. Am i crazy, or was this effect something from the neo cd or dreamcast versions?
