This is probobly due to lag, but I'll mention it still.

We were playing a 2 on 2 on Mordaxes server, LTS. Me + Dax vs Vuen + Cloudeh. In one round of the desert arena, I went for a 1 on 1 with Vuen, and won very definitely, but the method was very odd.

Basically I used a simple 5 move heavy combo, and linked it to Super Teleport. Vuen had a ping about 50ms higher then mine. He evaded the Super Teleport towards me, and behind me. Just then the teleport connected, as if it locked onto him back there, but actually hit after the evade.

I then continued the combo and linked it to another Super Teleport, which he evaded in the same fashion, and again it connected only after he made it behind me. This consistency made me wonder about a possible bug, because our pings were within normal ranges, from 80 to 130 (roughly).

dont really get waht youre saying. super teleport will hit behind you if he is in fact behind you. but i have the feeling im missing something that youre trying to say

but i hope you showed him what chronos is capable of > Smile

yeah, the attack has a warm up time, and has about a range of 1 HAR length radius counting from the center of the actual position its in, meaning that just at the start, if he's close enough to you, it'll instantly connect.

No, what he's saying is several times I managed to somehow air evade the super BETWEEN the hit and the flashes, which simply isn't possible without lag because the game disables the air evade the same way you can't evade in the middle of Mantis' superslide or after throws.

If you're blaming me for trying to evade, I never once saw this happen; every single time I'd be standing happily on ground, and get hit out of nowhere without actually seeing any flashes or seeing the super actually executing. I never saw myself evading this way; I rarely actually saw the super happen at all, aside from taking damage from it. I was rather surprised when Discomb was telling me what he kept seeing me do, since this isn't even supposed to be possible.

Just free your mind, Neo, and you can lag anything into happening. Wink

yeah some weird things happen online. like once I threw a nuke at a guy and it did nothing... he didn't move and he didn't take damage yet the nuke almost exploded on his head.

There was another thing. I used Super Tele in the arctic on Vuen, then went off to fight Mordax. Somehow magically my Super Tele connectd like 8 seconds later and threw the unsuspecting Vuen into the water, while I safely got away from a fight (though we didn't really hit eachother yet).

I have seen that before. once it's started the server assums your going to go after your target. but if the target switches sudenly you warp over to the new target and do the move on him yet the original target is the one that gets hit by it.

Online it does seem to me that the strangest things happen with chronos. Strange because you would expect force to have more problems as he is probably the single laggiest bot in game. The double and even TRIPLE! throws chronos can sometimes get online make him very annoying to fight.

I dont actually remember that game >.< must have been ages ago, my memory isnt what it used to be.
