only connecting to really laggy people
I don't know why, but this entire week every player I encountered, regardless of the time of day, has been incredibly unstable and laggy.
This is legit keeping me away from playing this game 75% of the time I feel like playing it. Every match win or lose feels like garbage because I'll miss and still hit, or nothing will register when it should (parries being hit through, ducking/jumping attacks not avoiding hits, heat seeking spin kicks, etc.). If I'm the host, I instantly get a major advantage (heat seeking hands and feet, huge parry windows, locking other guy in block). If my opponent is the host, they get the same thing.
Anyone else in the North Eastern U.S. having similar issues?

The team are working diligently in order to bring a far more consistent and stable game for everyone, and it's listing issues like your own (such as vortexes when attacking, or dodges and parries that are sporadic at best for working) that really help the team zone in on how to approach and remedy these situations.
We'll be keeping everyone posted on future improvements, so once we have more information in this regard, we'll be sure to share it.
Thank you again, and I do apologize for the trouble that you've been having lately.
I'm glad to hear you guys are working on fixing the issue. Prior to the last patch it was 50/50 for me in terms of getting laggy matches or not. I do get games more often now, but they're less stable. So It might just be the matchmaking giving up on finding nearby players in favour of finding a match quicker.
Hopefully that helps a bit.
