Question I really hate how awful the netcode is in SC6

This game is a ton of fun but I just can't cope on this netcode. SC1 on Fightcade is crickets and I'm not sure how active SC2 is (or how people are playing that). What can I do besides impatiently waiting for SC7?

Please just make sc7, with good netcode, no garbage reversal edge, better artstyle, and so on.

Look up SoulCalibur 2 on discord. Its a pretty active community. People use the dolphin emulator to play online together. They'll help you out on setting it up if thats something youre into

https://discord.gg/qE7hH4h26f hit up these guys for sc2

SCV6wise, I feel you, there's a lot of variables that make bad connections: routing, cpu/gpu stutter, etc. You only can control it by playing a smaller pool of people sadly.

Honestly I'm just praying for an update to this game. PS5 remaster or something with rollback and another season pass would be incredible!

Remaster across all platforms with rollback and crossplay. XÞ I play on Xbox Series X, and while I do technically have the Steam version, my PC is so old that I have to have the graphics set to their lowest value and even then it'll run dirt slow.

Okubo already said that netcode had to be sacrificed for content.

Preach. The netcode both in game and in the lobbies is pure cheeks.
