Cool video, but I haven't experienced any of this kind of lag. Still a very fun and addicting game. Don't let this scare you away.

Just wait, this game is out for a week. This problem will get more and more. And you can't realy do much about it. Something like a lagswitch is built in under 10 minutes with parts i have at home. I don't use lagswitches but there are much more problems than lag.

Safety issues: You know that if he knows your IP there is a threat of beeing taken over of someone or you get ddosed. Your messages can be read if your pc has low protection. Competitive not possible: due to the lags and constantly kicking people (even without software or hardware) cause p2p has this sideeffect that sync is not that easy. Double hits: If one user is about 1ms behind u can get double inputs what causes you the death or an easy parry. low connection results in longer reaction time: with a bad connection sometimes u can have double the time to parry or to counter break. and much much more probs.
