you and me both. Every online versus game should punish disconnects!

I'm tired of lag or being matched at 6000BP guys using Blanka when I'm around 1000.

I hate quitting but sometimes I even feel the urge under those conditions.

The disconnect fix should be worth five Bison Dollars at least.

Do online retailers not deliver to Toronto? I mean...if you are spending that much time looking for it...would it not make more sense to just order it?

I LOL @ the disconnect percentage. I think this should become the standard for all games.

It really should. Instead of hurting xp or whatever nonsense, it should just say "This tool dropped X% of the games he was in..."

Seriously? I thought this was the whole point in the update. Without quarter matches this update is 100% useless to me. How in god's name could they get this working with a couple dudes working on an XBLA/PSN release and not a whole team of dudes working on a retail release?

I may be putting myself out on a limb here, but am I the only one that thinks people should be penalized for doing the same move throughout a fight? (Sorry if this came through twice, I'm not seeing my first comment)

Regardless, I do like what I'm hearing. And I love that it's free.

I should probably clarify that it's the ONLY move they do as well. For instance, Fei Long's triple dash-punch. If it's the only move done throughout a fight, do you think they should get penalized for it like people will get penalized for disconnects?

It is annoying, but punishing them for it might not be possible, or would cause a lot of angry people with lawyers to show up on Capcom's front step

I would make it track the percentage of times you lose to someone who spammed the same move.

Step yo game up.

No, because assuming the game is well-balanced (which SFIV is), a sufficiently skilled player will be able to deal with someone like that.

I have noticed this problem happening a lot less than it used to... who knows if that is because the only people left playing after a couple months are the skilled players or what, but it seems better now.

So they are using the same move over and over. So what? That makes them predictable. If you have enough skill, you can just kick their asses. There's no such thing as "unfair" unless the guy is glitching.

How about we penalize players who are too crappy to punish someone who only does one move?

Here's an idea:

1. Focus Attack
2. Combo

or

1. Block
2. Counterattack

Also the tournament setup will mean after a few fights you will never have to face spammers ever again, if you're actually better than they are.

They are doing the same move over and over again because you are FALLING FOR IT!

I was thinking the same thing. It's strange, I would have thought it would be capable of doing that. At least the ability to upload to YouTube, but that feature hasn't been stressed enough by Sony, apparently. The ability to download the matches to the hard drive would have been an awesome feature. But, as always the PS3 is left behind once again.

What's up, Sony/Capcom?!

What happens when you actually disconnect especially when you constantly get a bad connection? Will I be penalized? And ridiculed?

I've never ONCE ragequitted, as it's COMPLETELY stupid. I always take a beating as an opportunity to learn. But I feel like I frequently get disconnected. I've done all sorts of things trying to rectify this, from calling my ISP and having them monitor my signal, to plugging the 360 directly into the cable modem, and none of them have seemed to rectify the problem. My ISP claims my signal is fantastic. I never get disconnected from LIVE itself, but when disconnected from a match, it often also occurs with getting dropped from a party, and a "disconnected from messenger" notice. One particular guy I play player matches with claims that I'm the only person who he gets disconnected with, so I still think my ISP is sporadically dropping the ball somewhere in the route. I've also noticed that when I've streaming crap going on in a browser while I'm playing (not torrents or anything, I turn that off when gaming, plus I've got a 20mb down connection, so there is plenty of bandwidth for gaming and other activities), the stream will also halt. I try to search again, and nothing... Then I'll see my stream kick back in at the same time I can start search again. Needless to say, it REALLY pisses me off, and if anything, I'm curious to see if my disconnect rate is substantially higher than other people.

"i only wish they'd track disconnects while winning vs. losing. For the record. *siiigh*"

sounds like a good idea, it'd be good if the game could sort that stuff out. i've disconnected on purpose a few times, only when the opponent has a total shit connection and I have to either:

press a button and watch my character do it 2 seconds later

move, freeze for a second, move, freeze for a second
