Also make sure your wireless controller are fully charged. If you are using them or using stick. If they are not they can cause problems. ALSO ALSO. You can now turn them off if you use a legacy controller that way you can save battery. ^_^
 
SF5 is PS4 thus all TO's will stay PS4 end of story.
Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize I was talking about SF5... My mistake....

Anyways.... SF5 is only on one console. So yes, obviously THAT game will have to be on PS4, unless there is a big push for the PC version.

MKX can be helped. We don't have to play on PS4.
 
Leave the decision to the TO's. Seems simple as that. If they think it is disruptive to their tournament, they can switch it. Until then I don't see a reason why they should feel heavily inclined to switch from the PS4.

The xbone controller is ass and mkx stutters on that underpowered woefully unattractive brick. Any lingering ps4 issues will be fixed. Let's fight on the better console, indeed under the best fighting conditions.
What is this, the IGN/Gamefaqs forums? You seem genuinely upset that consoles other than the one you own exists.

I saw the match happen and literally the exact same thing happened to me in my KI pool, which was a different game and different console. Game froze for about 3-5 seconds then resumed as usual. So odd but I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't a side effect of the consoles being on all day and could happen on either console

are you serious? you expect TOs to buy separate consoles for every game? surely they earn millions of dollars through this tournaments. Let's also buy each participant a psp for naruto ultimate ninja heroes 2 and a gameboy advance for power rangers time force LOL

a freeze and shudder can happen on any game. it just sucks when it happens on something that is happening real time. malfunctions can occur. we just have to roll with it sometimes. and besides xbone isnt running MKX at glorious 1080P. :DOGE

I can't speak on the Ps4, but XB1's are good for about 5 to 5 and a half hours.

Then, they start to overheat - and any game played on after that it will studder.

Dizzy is right, I believe this has little to do with it being PS4 or Xbone, but more in the lines of the stress the consoles are in,specially on this huge scale tornaments, i personally never had any issues like this. But Under just enouth strain for just enouth time the consoles might start to show fatigue... Another thing to keep in mind is that the constant switching of controllers and other periferals or just something running in the background in a bad moment could add extra strain to the performance of the machine during the Match... so this has little to do with ps4 im sorry OP

for the record - ive had all day lab sessions with my xb1 with my brothers and zero studder.. im talking like 7+ hours.
but im neither here or there about the console war for tournaments.

Both sides have good arguments
 
While it is easy to say "people should just disconnect.. blah blah blah" from the ps4" and this is true.. but the facts of life is that people just don't. We have all sorts of problems with people syncing and there is the documented problem of to many input devices (not deleting them) leading to input lag. The thing is regardless of the fact it "can be done if people just did it correctly" in events and w/e you need to make it idiot proof, and the entire PS4 controller thing is just more steps that will always go wrong at some point.

That being said.. Street Fighter 5 ... Ps4 / PC... so PS4 will always be standard.. end of thread.

I honestly think the problem NEEDS to be fixed.. My stream match had INSANE input lag / problems.. Also EVO did a terrible job as far as making players desync. Multiple ppl would just get up and leave them on there as well. When i went to desync mine after it there was about 20+ controllers probably i deleted. Kind of rediculous

You cant really desync your own controller, thats the point. The person who gets on next has to clear the cache every time. Its a nuisance but it will save people a lot of trouble.

I've had the glitch the TC is talking about happen multiple times to me. Both characters just stop moving, or they keep doing the last input you made, and they won't accept another new input for a few seconds.
lmao sounds like online
