    Time lapse is awful

    I can't do anything now that you have gotten rid of the time lapse, can't parry, can't counter guard break, this is the worst update you have done yet. My timing is completely off, and I am honestly considering giving up the game, I learned all the timing now I have to learn new ones, no thank you. And in the middle of tournament season, absolutely worst time.

    I guess you mean "Time snap"? Exactly how does this change affect game play?

    There will be a slight affect on gameplay. How noticeable depends on the individual I guess. Previously when you inputted a command, there was a delay before it was executed while it waited for the next time snap, then it would execute. I can see you might notice the difference if you were used to factoring these delays into your timings. The only thing is, it's supposed to make it easier, not harder, and from the little bit of time I got to play around with it last night, combat does indeed feel more responsive, not less. Now things happen when they are inputted. The difference is tiny though so I can't see it ruining anyones game as the OP suggests.

    Same. I noticed a slight change in my timing. But nothing severe that I noticed yet. A few matches to get my timing back is all thats needed.

    The removal of time snap may not be the reason as time snap removal was supposed to make things better and more responsive (not worse). Are you on XB1?

    I played earlier today and I'd say things felt snappier...or maybe...it's just confirmation bias and it feels just the same I don't know.

    It messed with me, also. My muscle memory is having a hard time adapting. With a decent connection, i could parry any attack most of the time. Now, not so much. My guard switch feels sluggish, too. I'll deal with it though, Its just a game. Not really that important. Still wanted to let you know your not crazy op.

    Accurate frame data is more relevant now.

    I can appreciate people have problems with getting used to the change, but it should have been this way from the start.
