You've just had a close match after 10 mins of searching, then it won't connect you to any yellow or green bars, but never hestitates to connect to red bars where you're either kicked or have a lag-tastic match. I've never going to be able to compete with my fellow G2ers if I get slaughtered once every 20 minutes of trying to find a match.

Can't help as far as the lag-tastic matches go, I have the same problem.

In regards to the G3 to G2 jump in difficulty, yeah I noticed it too. The problem with this system (or any points system I guess) is that it doesn't take into account how long you have been.playing. Therefore the only above average guile you speak of may have been playing solidly since the patch came out.

Either that or he's played a load O' scrubs :)

A possible solution to your problem may be hosting matches rather than searching for them. It doesn't make much sense, but when I do it it almost guarantees a smooth match.

I am always discouraged to play online due to these type of problems. Some days, after the 10th straight "Could not connect" pop up I just turn the game off without getting a single match in.

I haven't had the chance to try this but aparentaly the trick if you just want to get some player matches in is to play some arcade mode and have that option for people to join your game on. Vinny said sometime on the Bombcast that he can't even get a fight between the CPU because people keep challenging him.

I'm pretty much close to giving up on SFIV, I'm probably going to sell my copy at the end of the week, I've got better things to do than win four out of one hundred G2 matches everytime I play. It seems to me like everyone knows something I don't. Most importantly, it just isn't fun anymore.

You should play ranked matches and use Ken.
