[QUOTE="acw-nf, post: 30666, member: 489"] Before you blame lag on the TPA, I would definitely suggest plugging in your controller while playing. I've definitely noticed that all my kick-ass scores have come when I have mine plugged in....when we're talking about millisecond reactions, the potential for a bluetooth controller in a house full of wi-fi / cordless phones / other sources of interference to be off ever-so-slightly is high. I've had my PS3 controller suddenly de-sync from the PS3 for no apparent reason, and I can only put this to outside interference. Maybe I'm wrong, but it can't hurt to plug in. Also, not all controllers are equal - one of my PS3 controllers definitely has a right trigger that doesn't seem to react as quickly as the others do. I just don't use that one for TPA. Keep the controllers clean, and watch out for hand salsa in the shoulder button mounts, as buildup can definitely lead to poor performance. I don't doubt that people have suffered lag issues not related to these reasons - but it's always good to eliminate variables. Plug in those controllers and keep them clean! [/QUOTE]
