PsWii60 said: Ok so I thought what the heck, I might as well try and play Smash Brothers Online again. So I tried to play online, and EVERY SINGLE game I entered with 2 or 3 other players it would lag like all hell. Absolutely unplayable. I sat there for about 5 minutes and only 3 seconds went off the actual game clock, thats how bad it was. Worst of all I could not even exit the game because it was so laggy. This happens in nearly every game I enter with 2 or 3 players.

But for some reason, when I play 1 v 1 it usually works fine with no lag or very little lag. I can also spectate with no lag at all. So what the heck is wrong with Smash Bros online?

(I have 256k/64k internet connection, its wired so it should run even faster)

I would not call my connection good, but its enough to play online lag free, well it should be. People on youtube post videos of them playing brawl with dial up and they get no lag! So I have no idea what is going on but I am quite annoyed.

PsWii60 said: No your not, in fact I thought it was very poor.
Subspace Emmisary is the worst attempt at a single player game I have seen in my life. Towards the end is the worst also, when you have to fight every single boss again and work your way around a boring, annoying a pointless maze.
Then there is the crappy Online.
Apart from these two factors though its a very good game.

SyRiAn2Nv said: lol, just get Mario Kart Wii. It's obviously the best game for Wii right now.

PsWii60 said: True Frodo, but heres the thing which I have never understood with online games.
Mario Kart Wii online is flawless, no matter who I play and where they live. Halo 3 was flawless also when I used to play, I always had a good connection even against Americans. Other games also worked well on my connection.
I agree that it is my connection to an extent, but I feel the actual crappy online mode is also to blame.

gerulez said: there are actually quite a few factors causing lag in SSBB,

1.your internet is only as fast as the slowest persons internet in your game.

2.there isnt a brawl server in australia yet.

3.your far away from your router or you have a microwave in between your wii and your router. (yes, microwaves do stuff up routers)

i'd have to say that the 1st one is probably the biggest contributor to lag.
