Xbox XBL Matchmaking Thread

DeathArcana said:
there are so many people playing BB and Squigly its crazy

you mean together or seperately? from the 20 mins i put in with them they seem to have really good DHC synergy thats for sure.
 
I got boddied in the 3 onlime matches I played a little while ago, but that was more on my playing than the netcode.

Arcana I think you were th eone who stomped me in two of them with SoloSquigs. Other was...I think their forum name is JTMQandSQUE as they had the same tag in game and trounced me. Not as hard as the solo Squiggly did but still pretty hard.

Holding off til my B-day in a couple of months before I go Gold for my XBL, so if anyone runs into an AEG_Chavez, that's me jacking my bro's account on the same 360 for now.

Evilweevle said:
so i played a bunch of games earlier, does anybody else feel like the netcode has gotten worse?

some of the people i usually had no probs with i experienced a fair few lag spikes.
So has the netcode actually got worse or is it the same as it was in SDE?
I don't have gold anymore and would only consider gettin it again to play skullgirls online
 
hey just popping in to post my gt: zumsero. I am stuck between beginner to intermediate, hope to find people looking for unranked matches.

I'll add you so we can get some games in :). GT is thancruz so you know who it is.
 
jeez just got off a set with a dude i play all the time. the lag was so fucking bad it was unreal despite having 71 ping. before encore patch i had 0 issues playing with this guy in regards to lag and the last batch of matches i had to quit because it was all over the damn place. god fucking damn.

sorry for the abrupt answer, my list is v nearly full and thats what the meta tag is for so everyone only needs to add 1 tag and they have access to a whole bunch of names. ive got like 10+ people already on my list for skullgirls.

get tiredd of explaining to people why its better they onlly have to add 1 name than 30+.

Oh no i get that part, but how does that account know all the SG players?
 
I'm also curious what people think of the online.
The code is the same as on PS3, but I did not have much of a chance to test it on 360.

Also @Evilweevle PING doesn't really tell you anything about your connection, if it's unstable you'll get bad matches anyway.

it was crap the first week, it's not so bad now but not as many people on
 
DeathArcana said:

it doesnt know ALL SG players, but i manage it and send FR's both to people on here and also to randoms i encounter online. theres a good mixture of skill levels on it. the more people that add it then the greater the number of players we will all have access to.

i also plan on pruning the list too in future once people have had sufficient time to try encore.

also @Mike_Z , im pretty sure its not my connection at the very least, like i said i have played a fair bit of PS3 encore using exactly the same setup (i just switch my network cable between consoles) and have never experienced the lag spikes and jumpiness like i do on the xbox. it can be fine, but then ill get a string of matches that might be unplayable.

in a lot of games (id say over 50%) there is also a noticeable pause whenever a new character comes in after a kill, and id be lying if i said it hasnt messed up some of my timings/setups on incoming. again never experienced it on ps3.

This is useful info! Now hopefully someday I'll be able to do something about it.

i hope so too because up till this point my online exp has been awesome, where as now its just mostly good. online is all i have (plays small violin)

The small amount of online I have played from here in Texas has been great. I had good ping in my matches and no noticeable lag in any way.



Edit: Well, adjust that now, I had one Green Ping opponent today who I got some noticeable lag spikes on. I or they would literally skip animation frames in an attack.

It was only one opponent in two matches and I had no problems in the 15 or so other fights I had.

How long you bout to be on ?

i can be on now if you are on. whats your gt did you add the aBOBSKULLGIRLSa one?
 
Played this game like crazy when it first came out. I unfortunately stopped playing for about a year, but I kept up with the updates, etc. Anyway, I'm getting back into it(havin' a blast which is needless to say), but I only have one person to play on my list, lol. So if anyone wants to play me, just send a message on Xbox and yeah.

I'm East coast, by the way. Doesn't matter where you're from as long as our connection is smooth. (The friend i play lives in Washington state and we don't lag, so yeah)

goddamn i just booted up the ps3 version of this to remind myself of how it plays compared to the xbox version and its like night and day its crazy.

ps3 loads so fast, and has none of the lag when new characters come in that the xbox version does. xbox its happens every single time and it continues to be a problem basically every kill i get.

im sure im not the only person its happening to either. the difference between consoles is huge.

i dont usually do this since im sure youve got like a million other things going on but.... @Mike_Z is there something that can be done to improve performance?

Not....really...that's the thing. We already improved it hella on the XBox from version 1.0 to now but...like...on 360 I can only open one file to read from at once, or else the filesystem itself crashes. That's all I got. On PS3 I can queue up requests from here to Sunday.

Lag when switching is new to me though, I don't get that on my devkit. 8-bit chars yes, any kind of hitch in framerate no.
You on a USB drive or some other junk you shouldn't be?

nope nothing at all its running off the hard drive as it should be. i even tried deleting some stuff in case the hard drive was too full or something but no luck. the lag is v brief maybe a couple frames but during those frames no buttons will register, so if youre pressing/releasing a button at that time then you end up getting moves/not getting moves at the wrong time etc. its really aggravating.

i tested in training mode and its like every time you snap or kill someone it does it so yea it kinda sucks.
 
Doesn't happen on my devkit, nothing I can really do to simulate it... >.<

XBoxes have a LOT more variation in consumer hardware performance than PS3s do.
 
That gold be free this weekend!
Played a few matches just now, didn't have any noticeable lag once, I did lose connection with an opponent during character select screen but after that played a few matches against him and the connection was fine.
Played 5 different people in total with best ping being 99, highest I thinks was 140.
The only bad thing I could mention was ... myself, guess months of not having played against someone else hasn't improved my playstyle at all, also Big Band is just ridiculous with his armoured specials and extra damaging taunt supers (yes I got hit by one of those, twice)

Edit
Played a few more matches, highest ping being 205 (those matches actually seemed less laggy than in SDE).
I did have some lag issues in other matches and it seemed very random since I would have no lag at all for two or more matches than would play the same person and it would change the screen to a teleport trade punches fest. I'd say 1 outta 10 matches was like that.

Alrighty, APPARENTLY the loading-fix update finally went out on 360...it's a Title Update only not a new data pack.
Anybody care to verify this, and care to tell me if I really fixed the problem? :^)

[edit] @Evilweevle

i briefly tested it this morning and a little bit just now and havent noticed any lag when i used to get it before, so it seems like the fix has worked.

ill try and play a bunch of matches soon and give some more definitive feedback, i havent played much lately.
 
ok @Mike_Z ive had chance to get a few good sessions in today, a lot of online and just got off single player too, and it seems that the problem is still occuring at least for me (im sure i wont be the only one though)

still getting the 15 frame or so lag after killing someone, im pretty sure it happens a little earlier than it used to, but yea its still kinda iffy.

And you have the latest TU? ;_;
Can you record a video?
Also do me a favor...go into training mode, Cerebella and Fortune vs anyone. Save state as Cerebella, tag to Fortune, then load state and quickly pause the game. Tell me if the pause menu takes longer to appear than usual.

i could try and record a video. my camera is super shit though so im not sure if it will come through clearly on there. worth a shot though.

i tried the fortune/cerebella thing, and yes it does take a much longer time to load the pause menu than usual. id say it almost takes a full second to load whereas usuallly its instant.

ill try and have a video up soon.
 
ok @Mike_Z ive recorded a very bad quality video, but you can still make out where things go wrong, right about the 5 second mark.

if its no good i can try and find a way to record another one.
