"[AM2] felt that with the 360 they could make online happen"I don’t know how to explain it other than by defining [the VF5 dev team] as just the most incredible craftsmen-oriented group. They’re perfectionists, I guess is probably a better way to say it. They have always been concerned about lag time and that game is as real and pure as a fighting game gets. It doesn’t play around, it takes itself very seriously, and they didn’t want that lag online to be a barrier to people’s experience of the purity in gameplay."
"[AM2] felt that with the 360 they could make online happen, and with a lot of trials and tests and experiments figured out a way to do it where there’s no lag—well extremely minimal lag, almost unnoticeable—so we were quite shocked when they told us it would be online, actually. It was a surprise."
"…I think they felt like, hey, let’s surprise the world.’ That’s how it all kind of came down, so it was one of those great, just serendipitous kinds of moments where it happened and we weren’t expecting it."
