As the title suggests. Are you getting it handed to you by Bang? Do you feel like you're up against an army of the new Makoto? Or is your Ragna inferno dividing the leaderboards?
 
Just interested in the experiences of both new and experienced players online. So post some whining or bragging here!

I haven't played too much online, but yesterday I was in a full room of 5 Ragnas.

All the matches i had were with people at my skill level. I've met some great opponents as well
 
Overall I'm having a better online experience then in SSF4

I'm either kicking ass or getting my ass kicked. Hard. Though still relatively new to the fighting genre, I think I'm doing pretty well. I just wish I could play locally a bit more; playing against other players with disagreeable connections just annoys me.

Yesterday, I played an Icesword spamming Jin, and kicked his ass. 
However, today, I encountered a rockin' Tager, Ragna, and especially, a Hazama. 

Goddamn he was flying combos all 'round
 
Still haven't had a rage quitter.

Well, I can actually get online for once. 
It's not much changed from last time. Tager, Tager, Tager, Ragna, Jin, Ragna, Ragna, Lambda spam. 
I won a game with Mokoto against Carl, but i think that was more to do with the lag cause it's difficult to find EU players at the moment, naturally. Otherwise i get my head handed to me due to some of the movesets being changed in regards to the DDs. goddamn Noel change..gaah.

Whenever I play this online I either fight some one who is a million times better then me or some spamming flowchart who also beats me.  That's when I say fuck this game and play some SSFIV.

" Otherwise i get my head handed to me due to some of the movesets being changed in regards to the DDs. goddamn Noel change..gaah. "

well i was playing it pritty much all the time and then i had this GB tourny in ssf4 that i had to start practicing for so i havent been playing much but ya i go online and get my ass kicked.

I've beaten about half my matches with Tager, and another 25% I could have won if I didn't do something stupid near the end.
 
With every other character, I have yet to win a ranked match. Then again, I've only played about 20-30 matches total online so far. Sorry, been a little too busy lately for hardcore BB:CS play, real life takes precedence.

New Carl stuff is hard. Dropping all my combos and the lag isn't really helping. 
 
Oh well. That's the Carl I know.

At least no one thinks he's a girl.

I've been having a hard time getting ranked matches going. It took as long as 30 minutes to get one match going. A lot of the time I'll play the same guy several times in a row until he logs off.

Yeah, with the 360 version being region locked - I'm pretty sure you can count the amount of euro CS players on live with one hand.

 Dear Internet,
 
Why do I keep finding myself playing against Noels who only know how to spam their Drive? And on a related note, why am I losing to them despite the fact that they only mash their Drive? Please advise.

According to the hive mind at Dustloop, the problem comes in A) not blocking enough, B) being a fucking scrub and/or C) trying to 360 grab as Tager when I should just be sledging after the initial Chain Revolver. I'll have to try it later when I feel arsed enough to play online.

You definately have atleast a slight upper hand in that matchup due to the sledge, make good use of it. Something like a sledge followed by pokes will flat out beat almost anything sans an IB'd poke from Noel. Be wary thou, if the Noel can guess the timing right on your sledge he can 5D through it with invincible frames and you're looking at a 3.5k worth of your lifebar gone down the drain.

I'm trying to figure out who main is going to be now that they nerfed Tao. I'm trying with Tsubaki but my air combos are terrible. I should probably dedicate more time to the game, but I'm also trying to finish up the rest of the Fallout 3 content I have left.

Ugh, I hate how people pick the option for rooms where the winner keeps playing. Got in a room against a Litchi player, and his hour-long combos kept him playing every round.

I suck a lot, so I find myself losing more then I'ld like, but it's motivating me to explore the offline content, which is great for a fighting game to have.

" @tunaburn: Just out of interest, who're you playing as? and who are most of your fights against? "

I'm curently maining Hazama and having a pretty good time with him although I'm new to the game. I actually had just one really lag-free session here in Europe (against another Hazama), but that might be because I'm playing at unusual hours.   
All in all I'm having a great time with the game, much better than SF4 IMO.
