It's too hard to find people who are bad at the game online though, they all seem to play training, story, or not play at all. (I have like 6 wins 35 losses online) Still a blast though, especially those times where you beat the 50-100th ranked Ryu when you know they're 10x better than you :P.
That was quite a while ago, maybe I should start playing again.
unless they had hella pp they were frauds

These reviews are kind of scaring me. Most of them are saying multiplayer is impossible to play. What have your experiences been?

all not recommended reviews involving multiplayer are from salty people who lose online to lag. for PC the netcode has always been pretty bad. but unless you're internet is complete shit, or the person you're playing someone who is using a lag switch it's not as bad as it's being put on to be.
playing ranked myself, even the red bars are not unplayable. it can be frustrating if you get salty when you lose (especially when you lose points online) but endless online seems to lag much less than ranked online. the worst connection I have is with someone who lives in mexico and in general has bad net, and even then we can get minimal lag in endless on training stage. that being said, it's mostly the stages that will cause you lag online.
long story short, the lag has the potential to be bad if you're playing someone who: is far away from you AND has bad net AND you're playing on a 'graphic heavy' stage. that's the only way the game is unplayable online.
so to sum it up, it's the best fighting game in terms of gameplay and probably one of the more balanced ones out there. if you are planning on being a hardcore online warrior and only playing for points so you can be the #1 ken online on PC then don't buy it because it's going to be a frustrating experience due to the small lag issues and how people will actually play online. if you are planning on buying it to learn some stuff about fighting games and have fun, you can quite easily hop on endless with the rest of us with minimal to no lag.
tl;dr good game, pretty bad netcode, not unplayable, not extremely frustrating unless under extreme conditions.

On release it was very varied. Some games had virtually no lag, but some games stuttered incredibly bad. In addition, matchmaking was also a little wonky. That being said, they patched and fixed the majority of problems. Stuttering is the only real problem that's still around, and that has been severely cut down on anyways. Most people who play multi-console agree that PC is now playable on multiplayer, and actually can perform better than the other consoles, though xbox supposedly has a more consistent play quality.
