Apparently, given all the simple fixes moders have been doing in the last month, Capcom will be releasing a new net code patch which fixes the issue (by all accounts, the issue was quite simple and could have been sorted ages ago) this weekend. With the release of SF V Champ Edition, maybe now is the time for this game to rise up again?
I need to try and locate my old fight stick. I'd love to get back into some online fighters. Been so long and by-in-large that was the best community I was ever a part of.
