Why SF5 players hate on KI so much?

My experience has been completely different. I set those parameters and they basically mean nothing. Also, the input delay is still bad on it even when the connections are good. This video shows it.

When was the last time you played? Steps have been made to tighten up the netcode. They admittedly have work to do, and I doubt it will ever be GGPO or KI quality, but I went from nearly asking for a refund to regularly getting games with nigh 0 issues.

And I’m certainly not defending their issues (that one player gets all of the lag is just asinine), but I’m curious how much of that video is still pertinent with the work that has been done. Though truth be told, I have zero idea how things are now, I have barely played it. I have been playing KI a bit since it came out, and with the Steam launch of Melty, I haven’t touched SFV in quite a while.

I just know that my online experience has been pretty damn decent after what was a super rocky start.

U got any evidence or source of forum post I usually only see hate in chats which is what u should expect who cares what other community thinks most ppl just want attention honestly I hate everything about sf and the characters but I don’t go making posts about it on here or in twitch it’s just corny

I come from France.

In France, Street Fighter is outrageously popular.

At the contrary, KI is very unpopular… In the bad way.
On some video game forums, it is almost impossible to talk about KI and make understand people that KI is a great game.

The Street Fighter and Japane influences are so strong, that there is no ā€œplaceā€ for US VSF games.

The hate about KI is real sometimes.

All I am gonna say about SFV is it ABSOLUTELY is NOT worth 60 dollars.

All I can say is that SF5 is worth like 60 bucks with only 40% of the content of the game.

I just spent 10 bucks on KI and I’m having a blast, online, offline, ranked, survival, you name it.

And above all the freedom to pay for the content you wish to pay for, and an awesome PC port with a nice netcode that allows me to play cross platform with almost no lag issues at all.

Not to derail the thread too much but is it bad that the latest SF I’ve gotten into a couple of days ago is Third Strike?

Are you telling me that the rage quit galore was not yet fixed? Its insane…

No way - 3rd Strike is really fun. I play on Fightcade from time to time.

Ahhhh good to know. If you ever run across my GT on Fightcade it is the same as my name on here. Although I’m pretty free skill wise at the moment.

And the offer goes out to anyone on this forum who wants to play Third Strike.

Yep same GT here as well. I’m only good enough to take some games now and then. I play Makoto mostly.

That’s cool. Started of with Ken just to get the basics down. Probably going to main Dudley. Am intrigued to learn Necro.

I play a little 3S, though I haven’t in a while. If you see EntropicByDesign or anything to that effect, hit me up, I play Duddles typically. Would like to get some folks interested in playing it on the reg. I’m not worth a damn, but I’m suuuper punchy.

Yo, just got Fightcade as well! But I’m having problems with the ROM working. I’ll fix it, so I can play Ryu and Q again. :smile:

Even though I have it on the Xbox 360 :confused:

I also played 3rd Strike until KI arrived. I mained Alex and Ryu, and started learning Oro, but KI arrived and, well… :smiley:
