input lag and frame desynchronization

When playing online—even with decent ping—input issues arise: strikes sometimes pass right through the opponent or fail to connect.

You might get knocked out—or land a knockout yourself, even with perfect timing—simply because of input lag and frame desync!

The netcode is terrible; it’s practically impossible to play.

Players are exploiting a game mechanic by spamming combos that cause your fighter to suffer micro-stuns; this leaves you unable to control or counter-attack, while the opponent keeps landing hits and dealing damage even with zero stamina.
