Hey guys, just a quick question (and sorry if this post has already been up) whats the difference between online and offline play? and whats the best way to practice to get better with your skills between the two?
 
Offline and Online it's good to practice both ^3^
In offline you can Work out moves and tricks , but online you can face the real opponent ^^
 
Just like any other game, online play has some oddities. They don't happen nearly as often as SCIV, but SCV does have it's occasional "wtf" moment that would never happen offline. Some moves "feel" much different in execution as far as juggles and just frames, etc. A lot of people refuse to play online if they plan on playing in a tournament for fear of training themselves against the differences.

SCV is a million times better than SCIV and T6. You can enjoy both without too much concern for offline or online variances at a variety of skill and play levels.
 
On online play, you've got lag times to deal with. Even with a near perfect connection, you can still have slight differences in frames. Basically, a move that normally takes 25 frames to come out, which may be normally blockable/stepable might end up having a lot less time to react (since your input will be delayed as well).

Offline play is lagless (provided your TV doesn't have lag problems as sometimes HD TV's tend to have).

Also, in online play, you can't use audible cues, such as listening for button presses.
