While a single example does not a rule make, this is something we've seen more than once in the past. You can view them for yourself via the two clips here: These were, again, by far the most egregious while Necalli was mashing rapid button inputs.įrom our single experiment here we found that mashing buttons seems to be a surefire way to cause lag in our connection. Roughly the same results came when we flipped the script and had Bison walk while Necalli performed each of the various inputs, and although Bison doesn't have quite as precise an independent animation as Necalli's locks provide, DreamKing reported clear hiccups in his movements during the various phases.

There was only some slowing during the dashes and slightly more during the 360 motions. While Bison was mashing one or two buttons on repeat we saw the greatest evidence of frame skipping as it seemed nearly constant during this phase of the test. We could see no evidence of lag while Bison was still, but started noticing occasional hiccups on my display during the single input sequence. After a few seconds of this we had Bison perform single button inputs spaced roughly one second apart, then rapid button inputs, then rapid dashes, and finally rapid 360° motions. We first observed Necalli from my PlayStation's point of view as he walked back and forth while Bison did nothing. You don't necessarily have to look at an aspect this precise to see evidence of lag as a character navigates the screen, but it tends to be helpful when performing eye tests. The two small strands of hair that hang in Necalli's face, for instance, have a very fluid bounce to them as the character moves away from his opponent. While performing walking animations, most characters have small, but fluid and predictable movements that can easily give away frame drops as any stutters in these movements are quite apparent. Lag tends to manifest asymmetrically for each player involved in a match, and so we both captured video clips to compare.

Bison from his PS4 Pro in Southern California while I played Necalli from my PS4 in Arizona, a distance of just under 500 miles. Time will tell just how much of an impact these changes will actually have on gameplay experience, but we'd love to hear what you think will happen now that Capcom has officially reduced the input delay.Steven 'DreamKing' Chavez and I set up an SF5 battle lounge and proceeded to perform a series of specific maneuvers to see if any could be identified as main lag culprits. Whether on PlayStation 4 or PC, the Street Fighter 5 community will now get to experience their game without what has been one of the most widely discussed hindrances since its release back in early 2016. Otherwise you will most certainly add one frame of input lag.'

WydD also advises those using PC, 'Always play full screen exclusive, not windowed or borderless.

But don't organize any tournament on PC, this is madness when it comes to controllers, drivers and variance of configurations,' he says. 'Not on anime games (Blazblue, Koihime, and if I remember correctly, Unist as well.) PS4 is better for them. Petit responded to a comment on his thread about PC being better than PS4 across the board with fighting games with a warning:

While PC does indeed appear to be the better route, it does not come without its own setbacks. Vsync is a display option found in some 3-D computer games that allows users to synchronize the frame rate of the game with the monitor refresh rate. One of the major differences between PC and PS4 experiences comes from the fact that PC users are able to turn their Vertical Sync (Vsync) off.
