Forums - Gaming - Harada: "Nearly 60% of fighting game players are on WiFi"

The elitist attitude of that Adam Heart guy. Bet if I said that I play Tekken with the dual shock he'd 'lol' at that too.

Playing on Wifi isn't about being the best and some players just don't get that, too stuck up to realise just because you like and play games, doesn't mean you have your entire house wired up like server room.

If and when I do play Tekken online my issue isn't connection via wifi or whatever, it's finding good fair opponents near me.



Hmm, pie.

Not surprising at all. The percentage probably looks a lot different on the top 100 leaderboard. It's the same for any competitive online game, the majority of people sit in the middle of the pack and don't care much about the highest fidelity. For example in Rocket League the majority of players is on consoles, yet when you reach the top percentages they become quite a rare sight.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

It’s because wires suck.

Having less wired running around is a good thing. Everything should be wireless; if only electricity could be wireless.



I have a wired connection. Always have but, at this point, I realize that gaming is too serious for me. I just wanna face fun.



My router is in the other room. On the other side of the wall where my PS4 is. Can't be helped. I have not used Ethernet in about 5 years. I mean I do have a 3ms ping and 500MB up and down with Google Fiber so still a solid connection. I also don't play seriously in the few times I do.

I have no issue with any online game, fighters included, by using my wifi connection. It is just more convenient and I don't really notice much of a difference between the two, if at all. Wifi has come a long way over the years afterall.

Now it should be noted that I do not play in tournaments or at a professional capacity, in which case I would want every advantage I can get. But niether do most people, so this percentage is really not surprising at all.

not sure if it's the poor netcode or the amount of wifi users, but fighting games seem to be the very worst when it comes to online play. The connection quality is always terrible.

I'm confused

Is this an issue?



Always played via wifi, especially MvC2 and never found an issue.

But if the NetCode is bad, wired connections won’t help.



Y'know what, they should just make players more likely to lose their match if their connection drops. The match goes on whether they're connected or not. Screw it.
