At least we have version C.
...On xbox anyway.
And today I played against a Japanese guy and I felt no lag.
So Namco sucks more than Sega if you ask me.
But the strange thing is that I seem to get more lag with Europeans, so it makes me wonder if their network code is optimized for Japan's internet... Because in SCIV, I seem to get more lag with Asians than with Europeans.
And I followed Marginal's advice and tried Sarah.
She has the kind of stance system that I like. Very similar to Maxi, you don't stay in the same stance for long.
In her case, you typically shift in and out after one attack, but she still seems similar in the sense that it appears to be important to memorize several strings. (I...hope that I'm not wrong here.)
And I get the impression that you have to work your ass off for crap damage... Yay Setsuka.
Just shifting into the stance in a way that isn't predictable seems like hard work.
And she seems to be pretty weak against pressure... At least compared to easy-mode Aoi.
Zero reversal and, I think, only one defensive move, outside of the basic stuff that everyone has.
So she has Maxi's kind of stances, mixed with Setsuka's frustrating inputs for crap damage, and Rock's beauty and general worthlessness.
So far, she looks like a winner to me.
It's only my second day with her, though. And I get interrupted by human opponents almost every time that I manage to get in her stance.
I hope that it's only because I was being too obvious and not really picking the best choices of attacks.
I'm a training-mode/dojoaholic, so that shouldn't be a problem...
