Do you play LF2 slowed down?

[zort]

I play at 9 FPS myself, because I like having the reflexes to perfectly react to sudden events and pull off delicate combos.

dude, how do you slow it down? heck its something i would have used in my earlier days in dc'ing really fast moves

FPS Changer or Cheat Engine (I generally use latter)

Back in the 1.9-age, I wasn't really that much of a fighter but rather DCer, so I was perfectly fine with the regular speed (also, a couple mods had background-music which was adjusted for 30fps; lower speed would've been quite a hassle to listen to). Nowadays, I usually never play above 15fps, I found that 10-15fps is some sort of compromise between me liking the lag and others liking the fluidity, if that makes sense at all

I hate when game is slower than usually. This happens sometimes when i play 1.9.

when the game is slow its easy to beat any char even julian

Going with full speed, as long as CHAI/AS permits it XD

I don't really understand why good fighters can handle slow-motion fights. When I was fighting with Neocrypt, it was really laggy and I felt like he's using the slow motion move on me.
I NEVER play LF2 slow mode. Makes it easy for others to react.

Something worth to consider is the following: choose between a constant reduction of speed or almost full-speed with possible breaks inbetween. When Don and I play, we usually get these really bad lags on a random basis. Can be usually avoided by reducing the speed altogether; then those lags are barely noticeable.

Also, some players might have no other choice than playing at a low speed. Anybody from Europe/America can probably confirm that, when you play with Az, you'll never reach anything above 5fps xD
And then, you can already train yourself on coping with that speed.

Fluidity schmuidity :)

Ah, but we're talking consistent and intentional slowness.

Yep, that's the idea. I generally consider 1v1 with a bot to be trivial. 1v16 is where it's at.

Is the speed inconsistent? Maybe if you connect to yourself, LF2 will do some magic speed-fixing stuff.

It's kind of a different take on LF2. Take speed chess as an analogy. It would be weird to play only speed chess, wouldn't it? You start, at least, with normal chess, so that you have the time to deliberate about your moves. If you only ever did speed chess you would never have time to think and the strategies would all slip by you. To you, full speed LF2 is the real way to play the game and laggy LF2 is just a silly slow motion version, and to me, full speed LF2 is like F5 LF2. Heh, I remember in my early days of laggy games I would feel like a zombie right after playing a laggy game of LF2. Now it's the normal speed for me and I can't even efficiently punch (I mean, without gaps between the punches) at full speed.

So now I know that <30 FPS isn't the norm.

I know. But when i am saying i hate slow game, that means i don't go to use FPS.


I know that FPS helps a lot to play better, but i just hate it and it is cheating, because you can play almost perfect with it.
