I own SF4 for Xbox and PS3. I also have TE sticks for both. I have been playing on Xbox for a very long time (Almost since release) until my Xbox red ringed for the 2nd time. While I work out the process to get it fixed, I picked up SF4 and a stick for PS3. I quickly noticed while redoing trials that there is what seems to be an input lag on the PS3. I was wondering if there is an legitimacy to the claims about the lag. I use an HDMI cable on my PS3 on an HD DLP and have noticed a difference between the two consoles.Any thoughts? P.S. What did you think of the music mix for Marvel at SB4? I thought it was pretty sweet and nostalgic. 90’s jamz FTW haha!

There is input lag timing between the 2. I personally play on xbox and the fact that PS3 lags alot affects my gameplay a bit.  I miss combos I usually never miss but you’ll adjust to it sooner or later.  The music they used for Marvel is always better than the current soundtrack.  I would listen to anything besides the current music.


I always thought it was just in my head but after playing pc and 360 whenevr i play on ps3 I find my links etc harder to do ....
Is there really input lag on the ps3 version ? If so thats kinda crap for you ps3 users

Yeah I saw that too... interesting if true. I can't say I've played much on sf4 ps3 though.

I thought they said there was virtually no difference if you installed it on your ps3?

block/poke strings seem noticeably slower on the ps3 too, from my experience

People keep saying the difference is minimal, but personally, I've noticed the difference between PS3, 360 and Arcade. To me it seems like the PS3 is slightly faster, so when I'm doing links on the 360 or Arcade version, they sometimes won't come out because I'm doing stuff too fast. Even stuff like block string cancels are wonky on Arcade but I hit them every time on PS3... Go figure :/

Let's be clear here: input lag isn't the same as game speed.

Input lag means that if you press a button, the action won't occur until a number of frames later. 0 input lag means that when you press the button the move starts on the same frame.

The guy asking the question plays on a DLP tv through a HDMI cable. Thats pretty much the best way to add input lag to your setup. Also there is no mention of what make of stick he is using which can have a huge effect on input lag.

The only way to check if there really is noticeable input lag is to test each console on the exact same sdtv with official pads. You can't compare the yifans retarded resolution setup with your old school 14inch and your mates 50inch plasma running at 1080p.

Actually, in the very first sentence he says he has TE sticks for 360 and PS3, and presumably is clever enough to try both consoles on the same DLP setup, and the one leap of faith I'm making is that he's using HDMI on both.

I agree. I found some input lag issues with the Yifans game the other day.

woops didn't read that very well...still the guy is running a very laggy setup for ps3 and does not say that he was using the same for his xbox(he may have had it running thru vga into a computer monitor which would give virtually no lag). He wouldn't be able to test his xbox on the dlp as its borked. Also combo's are rarely affected by input lag. Doing trial mode is definitely not a good way of testing input lag.

I have played three different ports of the game (arcade, ps3 and xbox) on a SD setup and can say that i noticed no difference in input lag. You only have to read this thread here to see that there is little consistency in the claims that people are making.

i wasnt really making anything of what that random guy mentioned about his setup , it was more Justin wongs answer to it ...

for him to say it , thats a pretty big call

Yeah I don't wanna start arguing with Wong but we don't know what kind of setups he has been playing on. I've seen him use a hrap2 with converter which might give him some input lag.

Hmmm... All the link masters on this forum seem to think that there isn't really a difference.....
