ost_uid0="HairyArse"]Does anyone actually mean to select Normal Speed ????

This is a serious question. As far as I can tell Normal speed only seems to make lag, really, really, really bad for players who have slowish computers anyway.

If it is in there for new-B's so they can learn the game better, well it doesn't help because one match against a good player and they'll get caned anyhow, normal or turbo. They can learn the game in practice mode (which is far better now - thanks TMyApp!)

I guess what I'm trying to say here is that I, for one, would like to see Normal Speed taken out of the game altogether. I can understand that this is meant to be a faithful conversion from the arcade, but really I think Normal Speed causes more problems than its worth.

The only time I ever play normal speed games is when it gets automatically selected, and I don't have the option to choose turbo, otherwise turbo speed is definitely the way to go!

Someone else please tell me what you think about this...[/quote]
no it does not cause more lag
