Ganonic Grimoire (Social) - Commiseration and Hierarchy

[Noobicidal]

Merry Christmas, everyone.

 

[ToferTheHuman]

Merry Christmas to all!

 

[Terodactyl Yelnats]

No. Murder Christmas.

 

[Z1GMA]

Merry murdering ~

 

[Claire Diviner]

I should probably make a small series of comics/mangas revolving around Ganondorf's exploits and call it "The Story of the Beard" and post it on the Ganon Boards. Doesn't seem like a bad idea. I have an art tablet for my lappy too... I just need Photoshop. I'll probably get it from my friend. What do you guys think? :3

 

[Z1GMA]

Sounds coo'

 

[Z1GMA]

I have a confession to make:
I am one of the worst Ganons in the whole world when it comes to matches in heavy delay.

 

[Sovereign]

I think I'm a close second in that regard. You're not alone, Z1g, you're not alone.

 

[Z1GMA]

I think I'm a close second in that regard. You're not alone, Z1g, you're not alone.

Warms my cold stoneheart.

 

[Exalted]

I'm quite equal in heavy delay, since I mostly rely on just speeding through my actions.

 

[Reim]

In heavy delay... Do we even have a good Ganon?
I'm close to buttom, that's for sure.

 

[Claire Diviner]

At the risk of sounding like an uber n00b, what exactly is a "heavy delay"?

It's when you're lagging like balls online.

 

[Ganonsburg]

Haha, I'm not even good outside of lag...I'll place my bid for worst on wifi.

Nope, it's not.

Delay =/= Lag

Delay is the time it takes for your inputs to be registered.
Lag is when the game freezes, moves on, freezes, moves on.

I'm used to 6 ~ 8 frames of delay, no lag. (Blue/Green dot connection.)
If there's more than 10 frames of delay, it's virtually impossible to buffer properly,
since the Buffering Window is 10 frames.

You have to like... prebuffer your buffering.

Of course, offline is the absolute best way to enjoy this game,
but when on wifi, it makes me sick if the delay is like 12+.

 

[smashkng]

Heavy delay is also called lag, but the difference is that one lag where the game's speed contantly slows down is called "lag spikes" while the delay lag is called "input lag".

 

[Z1GMA]

Ye, ppl tend to call the delay "lag".

 

[Noobicidal]

Nope, it's not.

Delay =/= Lag

Delay is the time it takes for your inputs to be registered.
Lag is when the game freezes, moves on, freezes, moves on.

Lag is a common word meaning to fail to keep up or to fall behind.[1] In real-time applications, the term is used when the application fails to respond in a timely fashion to inputs.[2][3]

Lag is also often used in reference to video games to describe the delay (or latency) between an action by a player and the reaction of the game.[4]

[Z1GMA]

There's two types of "lag", then D:

Input Lag and Game Phase Lag (Freeze Lag).

 

[Sovereign]

Doesn't matter. All forms of lag are detested.

 

[Z1GMA]

Doesn't matter. All forms of lag are detested.

Ye . .
Though, I believe "Delay Lag" is more common.

Mario Kart Wii doesn't suffer much at all from lag.
It doesn't really matter if there's lag or not.

[Vermanubis]

It figures the one game that has virtually no REAL competive following (it does, but a small, pointless one) is the one with the best online.

 

[Exalted]

I've participated in numerous "clan wars" while I was a member of a MKWii forum, and let me tell you that lag will punish you. Red shells warping trough your defenses etc.

 

[Claire Diviner]

Ahhh, well, in that case, I play on an HDTV. My component cables reduce the lag to near lagless levels. In fact, I don't even notice it, but it's still there apparently. That said, I can hold my own in some input lag situations, but it depends on the amount of input lag, the character I use, and - to a lesser extent - the matchup. Regardless, it's still annoying all the same.

Also, concerning Mario Kart Wii, the Wi-Fi is by far the best on the Wii (from what I've played). Of course, any lag that's suffered is translated into teleporting opponents and items, but at least it doesn't affect your performance. I wish Brawl worked in a similar way. I honestly would prefer to deal with teleporting Ikes and Toon Links than deal with lag spikes. That's just me though. D:

 

[GoV]

Z1GMA! And Other Minions that might love Timesplitters!

It's Almost official!
A NEW TIMESPLITTERS :3

I of course am VERY hyped etc, and I shall be following every little news thingy about it until it's official.

Timesplitters 4

 

[ToferTheHuman]

This is awesome news, I love Timesplitters.

 

[Claire Diviner]

I never played "Timesplitters". Actually, the only system I've owned until last month was a Wii. Now that I have a PS3, and even a PC, I can hopefully do some catching up on some of the really beastly video games that were never released on the Wii... which is to say a ton of them. XD

Wow! Sick news!

Wii? PS? Xbox?

Imagine CTB online with great Weapon Balance and a sick Game Engine *drool*

 

[Sovereign]

Did someone say "Timesplitters"?

 

[Exalted]

Damn, GoV succeeded in hyping that stuff.

 

[Heartstring]

never really liked timesplitters...then again thats probably just because its a shooter, i am SO bad at them XD

 

[Z1GMA]

I'm not really that good at shooters, but they're fun, nonetheless.
I believe I'm decent.

I excel at CTF, though.

 

[Exalted]

I'm not very good at shooters, either.
I'm a beast at platformers, though :O

 

[Z1GMA]

[Claire Diviner]

I wish I understood what you two were saying. D:

Well, I suppose I could copy and paste it into a translator or something. XD

but I won't.
