Playing SF2 online problem?

Hi people, ive not had this game long and i thought id try it online!
Anyways does anyone else experience shocking lag on this game? i didnt think i was playing the game at first because it takes a second or 2 for your fighter to respond?
Or is it just me? :confused:

It varies. Sometimes you get a good connection, with no noticable lag, sometimes it's horrid.

Yeah it does lag and its very anoying with the lag it makes it very easy to get beat by E honda slappers

To be honest there is no excuse for this lag on such a old game the amount of traffic that gets sent when in play is tiny compaired with a game like PGR3

People will say its down to other peoples conections but remember you need a broadband conection of some kind to even play with the 360 online so that rules out people with slow conections

I have had better lag free games online with my PC playing emulators on unofficial servers !!

Good! so its not just me then!
Ive only played twice because its so bad!
Someone was M. Bison and just kept using the thing where he flies across the screen on fire (if that makes sense) its the only move he did! cheating swine!

The 100 hand slap and pyscho crusher are easy to defend against providing there is no lag even the best players can get beat with simple moves because of lag thats my point

e-honda slappers are the easiest people to beat period. tbh if you've got lag or not there is no excuse for getting beat by someone who just uses one move - there are so many ways to counter it.
