Yeah, 700b for 20 players, and normally at least somebody does something every tick, so that will go out 30 times per second. It still only works out to 24kbps

Yeah, 700b for 20 players, and normally at least somebody does something every tick, so that will go out 30 times per second. It still only works out to 24kbps, so you might not need to upgrade the modem you had back when the original was in the arcades. I tried only sending updates every 3rd tick, but even there I could notice the difference. You're right that it'd be worth experimenting with sending keystrokes instead, and backing off the full resync to once/second or so.
