The 360 slim at the time had the best wireless built in.
I don't think it's meant for tournaments at all.
I heard Japanese fighting game players prefer XBL since paying for the service means you probably pay for faster internet speeds. I think Kim1234 told me that when I went to Japan, but I'm not sure.

Or grab yourself an Ethernet Over Powerline kit, as they are awesome.
More of an issue where if it does much better for them than TTT2 or T6 ever did, what it would hold for the future of the franchise for the fighting game enthusiast. Slowly over time features for the core becoming afterthoughts, or being shoddily implemented because of them prioritizing building and optimizing an online/F2P framework.

Oh wtf I didn't even know about these. Yeah no excuses with stuff like that existing
What more features can they skip ? The only thing most offer are Arcade, bare bone Training, Trial, offline Versus, Online Ranked, Online Endless. The only way is up at this point !

That's a prime example of patent law bullshit.

Is there an active fighting game with no tournament support?
Here in the 3rd world we've done plenty of testing with wired ps3 and 360 and lots of locations/people and for everyone involved 360 was superior/had less lag. Just saying.

WTF is this sorcery
I have an ethernet cable going across my apartment and don't play unless it's a solid 5 bars. I'm on PS3 now, but had a 360-- 360 online for UMVC3 was undoubtedly better. It might also have to do with the stages that get frame drops anyway, which people always pick (they like their all black teams on dark stages.)
Sometimes Marvel does that thing where it's less than 5 bars for a second, then goes up to 5 bars...I'm not sure but it always seems like those matches play like the first result they give (less than 5.)

holy shit
I don't know, is there anything like this out there? With them talking on twitter about attracting new and non-fighting game players, the stats, not having all characters e.t.c. I just don't see this being a traditional tournament game.
Makes sense to me that someone who has enough money to pay for a service is more likely to have the money to pay for better internet. That isn't to say that 360 online is inherently better than PS3 online; just that the people who have 360s happen to have better connections than the people who have PS3s.
That being said, gaming on wireless (especially fighting games) is terrible.

Yeah. I'm just not too certain about its longevity if there's no tournament support.
Maybe they'll do their own community stuff online, like they've done with the card game. Different competitions, teams and stuff like that. I don't know, hopefully all this will become clear in the following days.

It uses your house's electrical grid to carry network signals. Plug adapters into the wall wherever you want networking. I have a couple of them but my house is pretty old and it never worked consistently.
Quick search gave me this: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001AGM2VI/?tag=neogaf0e-20
"Kit includes two adapters that use existing electrical wiring in your home to create a network connection"
I definitely have to keep this in mind. The cable I'm using is almost 100 ft...pretty much from one side of the house to the other.

Oooh never heard about those. Might have to pick one up. Right now I have an ethernet cord going in to a switch for the 360/ps3 since my router/computer are in another room.
Yea capcom is ass w/ developing for the ps3. You would think after 7 years they would their shit together.

EoP kits are sorcery. Especially the ones that also extend wifi signals!
Sega afaik doesn't have any type of patent on their tutorial. Namco has a patent on the way they do their move lists (being able to press a button to show a demo, etc.)
90% of the testers owned both ps3/360. I did too and I had the same results. Most of us had only the console plugged to the router for the tests. I was a naysayer until I ran some test with a friend close to my place who had the same internet speed/setup(and even router) as I did and the lag was more noticeable while using the 360. We even tested with different accounts created using different home regions. We all are now very convinced that the online play using 360s is better than the online using wired PS3(also lol@wireless ps3).
The worst for me was when I participated in an SF4 online ranbat(PS3), I made it to winners finals and I couldn't connect with my opponent. We tried several times, I restarted my router a number of times(NAT type 2 everytime and the PS3 being the only device connected to the router) and in the end I had to take an L and went to losers finals. Same story there, I ended up 3rd without playing. I didn't bother to watch the streamed grand finals nor did I join the ranbat again.
Of course this is all anecdotal evidence.

The only games I would test this with are SCV/BB/TTT2/Skullgirls
It's known that capcom games netcode on sony stuff is garbage. *as well as their coding of the games*
Oh I forgot about that, back when we did those tests it was only with SF4 because it was the only game available at the time, there was still no marvel/other games that we were interested in. There also was HDR but only a couple of us were into it.

I guess my experience has been biased by only playing Capcom games (and occasionally TTT2) online whoops!

In this day and age, it's best to assume that any time someone announces a new entry in a long-beloved series that hasn't had a game in a while (not that Shaq-fu is particularly loved, lol), it's going to be an iOS game or a MOBA or some shit.
So yeah. I'd bet that this is going to be a smartphone game.
With Shaq himself demonstrating it on stage tomorrow! That would be the best thing ever

Yeah but he has to wait in line for 3 weeks before he shows up.
