Venturing online with Ultra Street Fighter 2 on Nintendo Switch

[Administrator]

Now Ultra Street Fighter 2: The Final Challengers is out in the wild, I thought it would be a good idea to venture online to see how it all works.
The first thing to report is USF2's online mode gets the job done. I've played over 30 online ranked matches now, and most of them have been passable in terms of lag. Most of the people I've played with are in Germany, France or Spain (I can only assume the UK isn't that bothered), and most of the time the experience has been reasonable. Only once or twice was the game unplayable.
Elsewhere, we've got a real barebones online offering, which perhaps doesn't come as much of a surprise given the disappointment of the rest of the game. Going straight into ranked, you can quick search, custom search or create a lobby. Matchmaking is fast enough, and I never had to wait more than a minute for a game. After a match you can go for a rematch immediately and repeat this until you've hit the match limit.
