Thank god for rollback netcode.

I would say that even if it got smooth give it some more time. The more time game has the better optimisation of communication.

@ OH It's not "don't skip intros", but more like like "let intros roll until it's smooth, then skip, to prevent the first few seconds of the match to "stutter" like intros do (syncing).

From what I understand the first intro is the most important one, if not the only one, as you said yourself, it helps the game run smooth, if you immediately skip it.
You never know what quality of connection you'll get; just because some games aren't effected doesn't mean you shouldn't go into a game with someone you've never met giving the game the best chance to run optimally.

skipping the intros don't make a good connection bad and not skipping intros don't make a bad connection good...
I feel the only thing the intro does is determine the connection quality and set an input delay to keep the game smooth.
I play regularly with a friend online and we ALWAYS skip intros and the game runs fine. then there are guys online with whom you can watch intros all day and it will lag.
I'm tired of hearing "don't skip intros!"

For netplay stages, rule of thumb is focus on stages that have minimum particle effects and animations in the background. As far as skipping intros, pay attention to the character animations and camera speed as once the players are synced they should play at full speed.

As far as wifi and such my advice is play the lag. And this is cause you cant force someone to play wired and what not. Im not saying stick out in a horrible laggy match but instead if you know there is some delay occuring then do some safe combos. Dont worry about jump cancels or other high skill moves because the more percice they have to be, the more likely they will wiff. Save that for your local FGC.

@Kama : intros lagging = game syncing (online)

Does all of you guys intro got laggy as well?
mine is laggy as f
