@Ryko... and @Lag

[Boyiee]

The lag isn't you, It's not your modem, it's gotta be the game. I have a great connection and no matter who i play or when there is still spikes of severe lag where it's impossible to play.

Don't blow alot of money on your connection unless you have more reasons than just brawl.

And seriously, WTF at this lag, I'd much rather pay money like Live than deal with this shitfest nintendo thinks is working. It takes 3-10minutes just to even find players for a match, which is bullshit cause we all know there is more than just 2 other people in the world looking to play at any point in the day. They need to fix this, it's almost not worth playing online for. Wait 10minutes to start a match, play for 2-3 until you lag out and connection is lost... great stuff.

And Ryko, those were fun matches this morning, thanks. You are insane with Ike. Not to mention I use really light characters and its just hard to avoid some of those upsmashes when on my way back down... I think you hit me with one when I was at like 40% and it knocked me out, so frustrating lol. I'm starting to get better against you when you are with Ike and I'm using Pikachu haha, pit is another story.

[Ryko]

The new modem was luckily free, I just had to exchange it, so no money's been spent. The lag spikes were weird but in all honesty that was about 50x better than it was last night, holy shit I wanted to throw stuff >_>

As for avoiding the up smash, just air dodge on your way down, since the momentum carries you should be able to air dodge while slightly above my sword's range and make it to the ground and roll away before I get another swing in after my up smash.

[Zetah]

Yeah, Ryko is really good with Ike. I tried some Ike dittos against him and just had a really rough time. Probably just gonna stick with Toon Link and Pikachu next time I try him.

[Maguspk]

Yeh, I regret spending the 30 bucks I did on the LAN adapter because it didn't really solve the problem that is Nintendo's idea of online play. They need to fix this shit asap...

[aers]

A better connection won't do anything; my guess is that Nintendo's servers are so hammered by the amount of people playing (ie: they somehow didn't anticipate this many players even though the game was hyped to all hell for the past 2 years) that it's having difficulty coping with sending data to everyone. Your connection can't help in this regard, and unfortunately distance between you and your opponent(s) won't help either (theoretically a good thing if they ever get enough bandwidth to handle the load...)

Anyone not lazy want to check the IP the Wii connects to and find out where the Brawl WFC servers are physically located?

[Boyiee]

Yeah, Ryko is really good with Ike. I tried some Ike dittos against him and just had a really rough time. Probably just gonna stick with Toon Link and Pikachu next time I try him.

It takes him forever to kill me when i'm pikachu ;3 i actually hold my own and keep it close, but I always end up throwing myself off the level or something without his help whatsoever.

[Ryko]

Wait zetah, YOU'RE bam? Dude I loved the ditto matches, you started adapting and picking it up really quick. And yeah pikachu (both of yours) is crazy hard for me to approach

[AkashiXI]

I say this in every thread but...

Nintendo didn't anticipate so many people trying to log on at once. It's like FFXI after a patch: the server gets congested and even a simple task takes forever. Give a week or so and the problem will eventually die down. Either that, or Nintendo will try and expand their server.

This is the #1 most anticipated game for Nintendo's video game roster, and they fixed DB-fucking-Z's horrible connection within weeks. I doubt this'll be forever.

tldr; stop QQing

[aers]

I'm more annoyed that they didn't anticipate the current load given the popularity of the game.

Zetah's Toon Link destroyed me like 6 times in a row last night. Talk about disheartening -_-

Really, there is plenty of room to QQ. They prepared as many copies as they had preorders alone, which was tons. They knew this game would be huge, the servers should have been better. Yeah, they'll fix it, but when it's as bad as it is there is a right to complain. That's why I said I'd rather have a Live-like service, it's worth paying for. Never had any problems on a big release or a popular game on Live, yet this slows down to a complete freeze every few matches and constantly crashes.

[AkashiXI]

So, like everyone else, you're going to complain to the masses about how you can't get your instant gratification from a FREE service? I like your idea about the Live payment, I too would definitely shell out the cash monthly/bi-monthly/yearly, I just don't understand why everyone has to "wah wah wah" about something that can't be fixed by... y'know, wah wah wah'ing. How about you make a petition about the lag, or send in an email? This is Nintendo, not SE, they DO listen.

[aers]

SO what was Nintendo during doing the 1 month delay that was supposedly because wifi wasn't ready?

[AkashiXI]

Jerking off to Peach

[Weltall]

To think a couple of months ago people laughed at me when I said Wifi+SSBB was going to be utter fail when it came out.....lol@them now. Nintendo doesn't have a fucking clue, and they need to hire a company which does.

[Boyiee]

What does "wah wah wahing" do? Well for one those people thinking to shell out money on modems and better connectivity know better when others are complaining that it's not them it's nintendo's problem.

A free service cost me $52.99, first off, and had a long wait to get ahold of which was plenty of time to fix issues as trivial as this... other companies have handled this kind of thing before release, not after. Maybe complaining doesn't fix it right now, if I wanted instant gratification right now I could just brawl vs lv9 computers, but it doesn't need to be instant... less than 10+ minutes would be nice however. There are a lot of people complaining, this topic was directed at ryko about a possible connection problem his side, not to just talk about it in general, there are other places for that... guess you wouldn't have noticed since you are "tl;dr"ing which is kinda lame in a general discussion forum to say the least, why enter the thread if you are going to do that?

Too many people would be pissed by a Live service I think, but imo if they can shell out 50$ for a game then they can put out 50$ once a year for the service, I think first year is free anyway... and with less overpopulated online games it wouldn't need as much server demand so the yearly cost could be a lot less.

edit:: yah wel; i agree, i was expecting it but not this much

[AkashiXI]

There are a lot of people complaining,

Which is exactly why I said what I said. There's already numerous threads with multiple complaints about how Nintendo impeded the Basic Brawl/Team Brawl -Friend Roster really isn't an issue 90% of the time, only time I have problems are when I'm playing somebody from the West Coast- and I merely said to stop rehashing the same issue over and over again. Your post was obviously directed towards Ryko, but the 3rd paragraph was the only thing I was commenting on.

guess you wouldn't have noticed since you are "tl;dr"ing which is kinda lame in a general discussion forum to say the least, why enter the thread if you are going to do that?

I was under the assumption that when you put a "tl;dr" after your post it pretty much sums up what you were saying, ya? I'm not being sarcastic, that's what I've always thought. I did read everything before I posted, so yeah, that point is moot.

[KuaiEQ]

you guys realize that nintendo is only hosting the matchmaking service and the actual fights are p2p?

[Boyiee]

The 10minutes or more to find 3 players is the worst part to me. It's actually been mostly lag free today and only 2 disconnects after long streaks of good matches with same people.

[BRP]

Sometimes I'm unable to join matches in "With Friends", I imagine that's on their part.
