Input Delay v.24

The last couple days have been so excruciating -- beyond unplayable, even by my standards -- that I was enraged enough to get clips. It'll lead nowhere, but it's therapeutic. 

I re-downloaded the game and changed zero settings going right into WoC free skate. First 2 videos you can see how snappy the cuts are, how quickly I enter sprint (literally 1 step with 95 speed/acceleration), and just a general fluidity. This is how people normally play the game. It's how I used to play. 

It should be pretty easy to see the sluggish difference in the videos below. My player stops when I turn (2nd video more so, which is from a few weeks ago); the cuts don't look like elite edges; and there's a general laggy look. I counted 6 strides from holding sprint to actually sprinting.

Sometimes stoppages OFFLINE help until it crops up again within a minute or two. Honestly, in the top clean clips, it felt as good as ever tonight. Normally, it's worse, even when I'm not de-syncing. Online? Forget about it. I've played 90 ping on a very rare lag free night, and I can only describe this as far far worse in latency, along with the input anomalies. On my 20 ping, I see people I know on 90 ping animate/input so much faster than me they might as well be on LAN. 

As always, it's not even just what my player feels but the entire physics of the games being......wrong. Like it's not synchronized with my opponent and their actual animations are a second ahead, even in non-input situations. Clean pokes miss, easy pickups don't happen, my skating being as I've described, severely unbalanced incidental contact each way, etc. I have a lot of friends who experience this, just not to my degree. But I can see when they are also delayed.
