The game’s online optimization is terrible.
Every day is full of lags and bugs in online matches for the rating.
1. Teleports
2. Combat becomes like in a bolt, the fighter barely moves, swaying from side to side, and barely hits.
3. Delay in inputting strikes
4. Delayed animations in combat during transitions and the inability to block them due to frame synchronization issues.
5. Takedowns are also blocked inconsistently.
6. You start throwing punches while your opponent is still attacking — expect lags to start for both of you, and no one will land a hit. The game won’t count the punches.
It’s simply impossible to play — what kind of progression and desire to learn the game and play beautifully can there be if the mechanics in online mode don’t work at all.
The game only encourages spamming, and the stun lock mechanics are just terrible due to the network code.
