Lag? In my Street Fighter IV? It's more likely than you think.

Absolutely loving SFIV so far, unlocked all the characters except Seth (who I absolutely hate) but there is one thing that bugs the crap out of me. Lag. When I search online the connection bar is invisible so I can't really tell what matches will be good and what won't, so I have to take chances with every single match I get into. I win most matches I get into, but when I get into a laggy game I know I'm in for a world of hurt. There was this Ken player who was pretty ok, nothing that should have given me any trouble but I still lost against him because of his connection. Then in the next match I meet a Zangief player, I normally think that if a person picks Zangief they are probably going to be good at the game. Well, he was very good but his connection made me want to bash my head against the wall! He picked up the first round fair and square, I won the second but in the third round was when the connection just decided to take a dump on me. I couldn't get any of my moves or specials off just because there was such a huge delay on every move, watching yourself get an ass-whoopin' and not being able to do anything is crap. 


Now, I wouldn't be surprised if anyone thought I'm whining because I suck at the game, but I'm actually pretty decent. I would absolutely love this game if it just didn't match me up against people with connections from the stone age. The whole reason I'm going to play this game for months to come is the online, but if I keep getting in these terrible matches I don't think I'll be playing much longer. It's irritating as hell to lose 200 battle points in one fight just because I end up having to win 6 matches just to get that 200 back again!

Oh and anyone else use Balrog as their main? Haven't met anyone else that's used him yet.
