First impressions of netcode... it's not great. It's better than 98UM, but they would have to try pretty hard to make it any worse than 98 and Garou was. Playing overseas is a bit of a crap shoot, sometimes it seems pretty smooth, other times it can feel pretty laggy.
Thankfully I already have a friends list with some local players, and for that it will be fine, but not sure about playing overseas. I'll keep playing a bit longer to see how it goes.
