MVC3 is textbook example of good games with CRAP multiplayer systems

It's an utter joke. On both PSN and LIVE, it's absolutely frusterating. It's such an epic game, but multiplayer is just tragic.

What games do you think are amazing, yet multiplayer was a major downer???

I thought dead Space 2's multiplayer was soooo random and misplaced. Killzone games have great multiplayer, but the servers are slow as molasses at times

capcom should be slaped for not having spectator mode.

I agree about MvC3. The lag screws up the timing of combos so I don't even bother playing online anymore, and their lobbies are so pointless.

What Im wondering is, even though Super Street Fighter 4 has so many features in its multiplayer(spectator mode, replay channels etc etc) that Marvel vs Capcom 3 doesnt have most if not all the modes SF IV had (besides the traditional ranked and non ranked matches)

I've played the game split-screen mutliplayer and it's fantastic. Haven't played it online though, what's wrong with it?fabz_95

to name one thing :P

a thread like this without mentioning SSMB is not possible:Perdemn

OH MAN, great one!!!!!!!!! I forgot. LOL, the first times I played SSBB online felt like I was playing online for the first time ever on the old 90's pc's. MvC3 is bad, but SSBB is a dead shame

I agree. Fantastic game, but it takes for ever and ever to get into a match. And its not on my end as I find matches quickly on any other game. Lack of spectator mode sucks too.

You probably should've waited for the inevitable Super/Ultimate/Gold or w/e edition of MVC 3 -- I know i'm glad I did... or will at least wait until after a good amount of DLC is released to the point that it doesn't look so barebones. They'll fix it eventually I guess.

Fight Night Champion has lag and that doesn't work with a boxing game....it feels like punching in slow motion completley useless

Capcom really NEUTRALIZEd it.siLVURcross

They did it on purpose

Dont worry though, they will release a better version a year from now called Marvelous Marvel vs Capcom 3 or MMC3, this game will actually have a good multiplayer system and the characters fans were asking for from the beginning.

I dont care about all the extra features like Spectator mode...ect in Multiplayer, I just care if its smooth, fun and engaging. As of now, MVC3 online is bad, its not smooth at all, very laggy but Capcom said they would fix this issue. Besides that I think its fine, people really need to get over "sentinel" and actually become good at the game.

Crap Multiplayer?

last I checked Marvel vs Capcom has Amazing Multiplayer, The only Problem in Online Multiplayer are Beam Spammers and I got those in Tatsunoko vs Capcom.

Sadly my closest arcade is an hour away. As much as I would love to play BB:CS with other people.

On that note, it did a lot wrong but the core game is still there.

[QUOTE="LastRambo341"] Ryota dishes some info on the spectator system, among other things.

Ryota: "That's correct. This title is a 3-on-3 and the game speed is very fast, so the volume of communication data is larger than in SSF4.

I dont get how you couldint understand mroe meant more. I didint see a reason to fix that one word. Also simply put ifthey didint add spectator mode cause of tec issues since its 3 players if so when does the online still have some tec issues. For examples taking a while to find a match sometimes and having laggy matches.

KZ 2 and 3 should have amazing MP, but the worldwide gameplay drags it down quite a bit. Can't even find a match that doesn't have players from all over the world playing on my region's servers for the advantage they get. Such a stupid thing to have WW gameplay in an online game.

BC2 had a similar issue, but I think the netcode in that game just wasn't up to snuff. Also, BC2 made it a real pain to play with friends.

I get the spectator mode, and it's a shame but not a huge flaw, the lack of replays is also disappointing, but still not a huge deal, however, the online doesn't work properly? it is laggy? you can't find matches? now that's something unforgivable i mean, while some characters may seem broken you just need to figure how to beat them, i remember Sagat or Balrog in SF4, at the end you learn how to deal with them since they are the most common characters, but again, not a smooth online that's a game breaker for me, sorry Capcom, fix it and then i may get the game.

Yeah which is why I mostly play offline with friends.. whenever I do go online I just troll people with my hulk/sent/dormammu team.

I just don't buy that it can't be done. I mean MvC2 on PSN/XBL was 3 on 3 and supported lobbies with spectator mode without any lag in my experience playing the game. Sure the game has 2D sprites for characters -which I doubt really matters much if at all- but at the same time the combat was a bit faster in MvC2 than it is in MvC3.

Maybe they are using a different garbage netcode now I don't know, but if the fact that MvC3 is now using 3D models for characters is whats causing the issue thats pretty laughable in my opinion. Capcom just needs to optimize their netcode and give the fans what they want.

[QUOTE="LastRambo341"][QUOTE="Bread_or_Decide"] When I think about all of the online game available and what they can do...I find this hard to believe. If we've got a 250 player FPS than a spectator mode on a 3 vs 3 fighting game shouldn't be impossible. CAlNlAC

Thats part of my problem with the game I guess. I love the gameplay don't get me wrong but the way Capcom has handled this is just ridiculous in my opinion. I mean the game was supposed to come out sometime this month originally I believe but instead of completely finishing the game first and releasing it then they move the release date up a month and ship us a somewhat incomplete game to possibly be patched later if we're lucky but more likely to be added later via paid DLC.

Tekken 6 had lag that pretty much ruined the multiplayer for me

this game was rushed and not made with much effort.

Most Japanese developers struggle making good MP systems/lobbies.

I don't think Capcom has EVER made a SUPER version of their vs Capcom Games.
