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.

Oh SFIV Online, you frustrate me so
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 :)
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.

Much easier than searching.
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.

I host matches and I've got no problem getting into fights, sure I have to kick out people with low connections fairly frequently but it's not too bad. Sounds like you're more of a sore loser than anything.
"FLStyle said:I've never been a sore loser at anything in my life you cheeky bastard. I have no problem admitting to being inferior than all the other G2 players, way to try and make a video game discussion personal."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.

But don't worry man, shit happens. Fighting games are meant to frustrate the shit out of you. Hell, sometimes I feel the urge to chuck my controller at my TV out of sheer frustration.
I'd say give it some more time, play around with it, host your own matches, take breaks, and play with some people you know. It really is a fun game.
..unless you've already sold the game, then disregard this post :p
