I really hope the online improves a lot with this!
Interesting, any details on the difference between the PAL and the JPN SCII HD release is the Japanese version the NTSC release?
Good news. But unfortunately - it's too late. No one plays online anymore.
I tried out player match with a friend and It doesnt kick both players out anymore, auto rematch!
