I'd also be pretty surprised if going from 8 gigs of ram to 16 made a difference in fights because this is a console port (although it doesn't have to support the XBONE's wrong kind of RAM, phew)

I've "only" got 8 gigs of RAM and the game runs perfectly. Any game that runs at 60 fps on a PS4 isn't exactly going to be a brutal PC killer.

MonsterEnvy, check if your game is running on your discrete GPU or the lovely one strapped to your CPU.

How do you do this?

Also every video ending in that *bonk bonk* disconnect sound is enjoyable to me for some reason.

Oh boy learning FANG sure is fun, it's like playing a character with no special moves or v-sk *opposing Nash rage quits from casual match*

I may be dropping all of my hit confirms because I forget to consider that I might actually hit and my play is full of terrible, gaping holes but I'm having fun. The 25 hours I've put into this comprise 90% of my fighting game experience in the last 15 years, but I won 13 of my 17 games tonight and I feel like I sort of "get" what I'm doing.

I'm also really glad cross-play is a thing, because 95+% of my opponents are on PS4 and I get to play on PC without online being a ghost town.

Just posting to give the nth recommendation for the Hori FC4.

I just got it today, so I haven't put it through its paces. But it feels REALLY solid and it's comfortable to hold in two hands if you don't/don't yet wanna lay it on your leg and piano the buttons. And I thought I wouldn't make use of the bonus features, like tilting the D-pad and adjusting the diagonal sensitivity, but I played around with them and I actually might.

I think the only consistent complaint I've seen is the D-pad wearing out, not immediately but a little too fast. But I can't speak to that.

And it was $30 from US Amazon with Prime. I dunno if that's the cheapest it's been, but it looks like a significant savings.

Plus there's even a switch for scrubs like me to map the actual R1 & R2 shoulder buttons to L1 & L2. So now my left hand just does inputs and my right hand does all the buttons, no more screwing up EX moves because my thumb is oriented differently while I'm hitting the left shoulder buttons.

I'm also considering buying a second one as a backup because it's so inexpensive.

So would turning off vsync in the ini and setting adaptive vsync in the nvidia drivers work or do I get to choose between:

1) vsync with input lag
2) 600 fps with eye-watering frame tearing

Played some more tonight but every single match I got was just a lag poo poo mountain.

Yeah, what's up with this? If I get it against a PC player, sure, their settings are too high or they're playing on a toaster. But I also get it from PS4 players with that little squiggle icon on the loading screen that I thought meant a wired connection.

edit - Apparently that icon just means a P2P connection? I guess it was just wifi players all along, which makes sense.

I'd apparently forgotten that this series has a link combo system instead of chains, which explains why combos feel so backwards in their difficulty.

Cancel a special into a CA for huge damage? Effortless, you can mash it out. Try to hit confirm one normal into another before doing that special -> CA? Hope you like hitting a ~1/20th of a second window in an online match with latency. :gonk:

In Tekken, bad as I was, I could do easy low execution combos while training my way up to higher damage ones. Here even a basic punish (Ryu LP -> LK -> L Tatsu) has a link into a very short window to cancel off of a light attack. Can't hit the link reliably (or do the tatsu too late and you get blown up)? Guess you just hope that poking the guy with LP will dissuade him from that line of attack.

edit - I think I might literally be too old to play this game.

You don't have to do a link when punishing since you know it's going to hit.

Thanks for a useful response, bizarre attitude aside.

I play on wifi and rarely get lag, I do get a few players drop but I just figured that was because I play Mika and Abigail.

They're dropping because you're teleporting all over the goddamn place on their screen :hai:

Also I don't think the PS4 Pro has frame drop issues, just the base PS4.
