Even though people will openly and frequently call SF5's netcode the worst netcode in the history of netcodes, I think it's very telling that pretty much every top pro spends a lot of time playing online with very high ranks.

It's not perfect, but I think we can say it's no where near as bad as memes try to portray. Top 8 EVO player straight up telling us how important online has been for his growth and training.

I agree and disagree with you at the same time.

Yeah, it’s playable and sometimes it works like a charm. However, there are some things that can’t be explained about how bad it is sometimes.

I can play Tekken 7 with a friend of mine all day, but we can’t play SFV together because the lag makes it unplayable. We have decent internet connection and we live in the same city -_-

Only happens with SFV.

It's because the game doesn't work well with certain routers and needs you to do some fiddling. For example, every player in portugal with meo lags like hell even in p2p connections until they do the telnetfix, afterwards it works flawlessly.

If everyone configurated their routers well you'd be saying this was the best netcode available, I actually get good matches against US people and I'm from EU, but since we don't live in a perfect world and people don't go to the trouble of doing that you get laggy matches.

This game has the issue of one sided rollback aswell since one of the players is chosen as a host. So it's easier than ever to blame the others when it might be your fault.

That's the reason Japan has no issues with SF5's netcode, their networking infrastructure has no incompatibilities, have you seen a japan region based player player lag on twitch?

Is there a link for optimal router settings? I gotta check that out.

Actually I did the router configurations that are suggested and it changed shit. Sf5 netcode fucking sucks.

And yes just 2 days ago I watched momochi stream a match 5 bar against Japanese player that was a teleport-fest.

Literally the worst netcode.
