This is much better, this way they can also play with those on wired connection who don't mind playing with wifi, most players would probably only avoid wifi if the ping is also high.They should find a way to match wifi players only against eachother instead of publicly shaming people.
Having a good QoS feature in your router so that you can still play comfortably while ppl in your house are watching Netflix and torrenting is a privilege. Unfortunately the QoS implementation on my Nighthawk router sucks, I am shame. :(The real fun begins when you are playing a wired person and still have 19f of lag
Think about what you are saying. Noone in the real world thinks about turning off their wifi on their laptop or phone. This is one of those cases the dev team needed to match general behavior patterns.if you're not using wifi on your laptop, why not just disable the driver? Takes, what? About 10 seconds?
Yup 100% a majority of people who are on wired that play casually dont even know about this really.This is much better, this way they can also play with those on wired connection who don't mind playing with wifi, most players would probably only avoid wifi if the ping is also high.

Good, that means it's workingIt affects them to the extend that this will immediately ensures they get far less matches than usual, since they're being tagged as less desired players than others.
Putting a visual indicator on WiFi players isn't the best way of doing it.
If the game can distinguish between wired and wireless just have a toggle in options with a message clarifying what it does, for example;
Disable Matching with WiFi Players - Doing so will ensure a smoother play experience but may make matchmaking longer
Or something like that. Putting a visual indicator on certain players but not actually doing anything solves absolutely nothing. I don't see the point 🤷🏻♂️
I mean, I guess having a fighting stick is a privilege too. We should have indicators for that too.
Well... yes ? I would refuse every single Wi-Fi match in every fighting game i play if i had a way to see how they're connected online.
It's the same here, you have to do it manually, which is better to not screw with match making algorithm.The irony is that games like MK do this as well, but they don't give you the option to filter matchmaking to only do wired connections.
The average wifi player provides a worse experience for everyone involved--including the person on wifi--compared to someone on a wired connection. Them's the breaks.
Does any of those things actually affect how the game run on your end like wifi does or is this just wifi player salt?I want the whole rundown; resolution my competition is playing at, their display's size, the chair they're sitting in as well as how many energy drinks they've consumed within the last hour.

That's actually a good suggestion thanksKeep a long ass cable around and run it through doors just when you need to play online in a p2p game! Takes just a bit longer to set up than your console need to start up... Or better yet, just play with other Wifi users. :D
The privilege on display in this thread. Some people can't afford wired internet.

Your lack of self-awareness is completely unsurprising.Seriously...
Who can seriously defend Wifi players?
They're just ignorant.
Oh ! Maybe not to the point of "screwing them", yeah :oAnd that is the reason to "screw them"? Because that was why I reacted.
The limiting factor for fighting games isn't download or upload speed, it's packet loss. Having the fastest wi-fi in the world won't help you when you're still dropping more packets than a middle-of-the-road wired connections. That's why good fighting games show ping AND wired/wifi status.Besides with the slow adoption of WiFi 6 and increased bandwidth upwards to 1.2Gbps with the right setup using an AX router, this is faster than even most wired connections. When I had a wired Fios setup, I never exceed 750Mbps for example, so just to put things into perspective.
Blame telecommunication companies for the lack of faster adoption. It's bad enough you have some folks that aren't technically savvy and label all wireless connections as the same.
Hell I take a half decent AC wifi setup (300 to 600Mbps) over a Wired Satellite ISP (12 to 100Mbs) setup. It just goes to show folks generalize on all WiFi users when the service itself is entirely beholden to your ISP provider. Case in point my average speeds are 300Mbps down and 250Mbs up.
A 4K video stream requires a minimum of 25Mbps, I'm 10 times that, Online Gaming with minimal latency on timing crucial games, especially Fighting Games require 100Mbps minimum on top of good rollback netcode.
Not everyone's circumstances to same, nor are all wireless network connections.
speaking as a Wi-Fi player, Wi-Fi players shouldn't be allowed to play ranked matches in fighting games
It's something all fighting games should address, though labeling players like this can lead to hurt feelings and backlash. Maybe it would be better to have a simple toggle for wired players to opt out of being matched with wireless players.

So, you shouldn't defend people who don't/can't have the optimal hardware?
