KoF XII wouldn't suck if the netcode was so bad. It does, so most people think the game sucks.

The net issues seem to affect the US more. I can get lag free matches easily in Japan. A shame. I hope it is sorted soon.

Obviously because there are far less people playing in Japan.

I think Japan has a better internet structure overall, and because Japan isn't as large as America connections should run much smoother than in the US. This game with good online is pretty good, and if that's the case in Japan I'm happy to hear it, but when I tried to play a few matches all of them lagged and I ended up playing Blazblue for a couple hours instead. I want to like KOF XII, but without a good netcode I don't see it happening.

Better infrastructure for sure (I have 100 Mbps best effort) but size shouldn't make much difference, and I'm pretty sure number of users is irrelevant. It's as if either the code just doesnt work well on slower links, or some other factor is affecting things.
