Thank god for that. In my opinion Street Fighter IV had the shittiest netcode of any game I've ever played, mostly concerning actually GETTING a match. I am talking PS3 version here, maybe 360 is/was better. I am sure that the reason I started hating SFIV was that every time I booted up the game, and pressed Online Mode I would search for a match for about 10+ minutes before getting into a lobby, and then I might get kicked due to my avatar, custom title or because the guy knows my nickname. HOW FRUSTRATING! And then even if you beat the guy, he can still rage quit! How can I improve if I have to wait 10 minutes between a match, then play a guy with input lag? I just got frustrated and gave up for the day.
The CE revision changed a lot of that for the better. I havent yet tried Ranked or Player match out but I would assume that the netcode overall is improved. So far when I try to connect to a match on CE mode I will get into the lobby without a hitch, and I am seeing WAY MORE green bar connections. Also there is blind pick so my opponent wont waste time counter picking, and the disconnect rate is RIGHT THERE FOR EVERYONE TO SEE!
One thing they can still improve though is the title theme music. Hell, I'm gonna take you for a ride was better from MVC2, which is ALSO coming out soon to PSN! I'll have to show people oldschool Dr Doom and BH/Captain Commando turtle tricks when that comes out.
I'm not really sure how capcom did it, or what they did, but this is a complete 180. I was honestly thinking of giving up SFIV just because the home version is so terrible, but Capcom has totally redeemed themselves.
