Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate

i'm still playing DOA5 on PS3. need to play more. and the only problem, and i mean the ONLY problem, is that when i play as Lei Fang i have trouble just-countering with her advanced counters. it always comes out too late or i'll block the attack then counter. but offline it goes so much better. but for 5 bars i don't experience this problem anyway.
 
Peer-to-peer only has to handle 1 connection (between both players) instead of 2 (p1 to server, p2 to server). Pretty much why Ponder chose p2p topology when designing GGPO. The problem arises depending on whether the code is delayor rollback based. The former has both clients wait for each other befor moving on screen. Server based does the same thing except both clients are waiting for the server. With proper, rollback p2p code, both clients don't wait. They move on screen almost instantaneously. Any state desync is handled by a rollback to the last fair state. It's a p2p implementation of what FPSs have been doing for years (client-side prediction).

So far however, rollback code has only been used in 2D games. Namco has a GGPO license, but they've only used it for a DBZ arcade game. In general, 3D hasn't been pressured much into switching to rollback (or client side prediction) code partly because Japan is behind on netcode tech and partly because 2D games tend to have smaller frame windows meaning they needed to develop the tech more.

Welcome to my world!
And believe me...i have a damn good connection..never had so far problems in any other fighter =/
You can simulate the lag in spar mode, just try it out how you should change the timing a lil bit ;)
OK now a question to the vets or folks who can play almost everyday this game(i cant, cause of work etc):
How can i improve at best my character knowledge at best?
Play with them?Goin through the movelist?Remember all those combos/set ups/ strings?
What are you doing if a character brings some problems against you?
