I'm in Georgia, just so you know. Distance seems to be a factor for Wi-Fi during the daytime. If anyone adds me, let me know, and I'll return the favor. Going through the Wiki or this thread and adding everyone would take ages.

I had to re-add everybody from the Wiki page at one point and it only took me about 30 minutes to do so... less if you skip adding in their profile name (since the game will correct it when the registration confirm).

Anyway, I'll add you.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I guess people are busy the past couple of days or didn't feel like posting their latest Brawls.

Anyway, I got my LAN adapter. Hopefully this will make a small difference in online Brawl.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

LOL. It's the same with me but in this case I DON'T GET AN ERROR CODE/MESSAGE! It just keep me waiting on the Practices Stage for about 20 minutes and I doubt Miles set his match for more than 21 minutes.

I played with Kairyu and Kagosin last night. It was such an epic match even with the lag while I'm using the LAN adapter.
I guess the latency will always be huge from Rhode Island and Hawaii.

Also, my other brother is out to wherever he goes for about 1-2 weeks so bandwidth should be free when I play online.

I was speaking idiomatically.

People, there's a simple solution to help "fix" the lagging issue: ditch your cable internet! Brawl use lots of bandwidth so your ISP is like "lolz throttled tyme!" */unhelpful*

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

...or it could be the nature of a online "fighting" game. If you look at my latest Mario Kart Wii post, there was no lag when I was playing against people from Canada and Europe (I was playing the PAL copy BTW). I even have torrent and a fserve on IRC running and the game runs fine.

Brawl is one of those game that's really was made to play locally and the online feature was just a small bonus that people was bitching to Nintendo to include it. They did their best and the only way you'll get a semi-lag free game if you have an ISP that doesn't throttled your connection, FiOS or living in Japan. */2 cents*

How ya doing, buddy?

First of all I'm not trying to "defend" Nintendo on their online. I know it's shit compare to Live but since it's free I'm not complaining much. My brother and I play other online fighting game and they varies from semi-lag-free to 5-frame-rate-per-second-lag just like Brawl.

I was kidding about changing ISP because so far I haven't heard a complaint from people in Japan.

So from my experience any kind of fighting game will experience some sort of lag and that's what I'm trying to say. And yes I did say Nintendo tried their best at online game. Brawl is one of their weak point. Just wait until Mario Kart Wii officially release in your country and play the game online. 12 player with anybody around the world and you'll experience little to no lag.

I'll stop my "ranting" here.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I said I would stop but someone poked me.

The game will cost $50 regardless if it had online or not. Mr. Sakurai/Mr. Iwata even said that they'll look into adding online for Brawl in E3 2006 because making a "fighting" game online will be difficult due to it's nature like me and other people had expressed in their post. I would be happy if it didn't have online but they put it in anyway and I'm very much appreciated that they did it.

Do people just skim through my post or something? Mario Kart Wii was leaked on Monday and I have been playing the game online since then. I've played 11 other people around the world in a race and battle with no lag whatsoever even with torrent and an fserve on IRC running. You can tell that you're playing against people from other countries when they introduce your opponent using the same globe from the News and Weather channel and from the name during in-game (red=Japan/Asia; blue=US/North America; green=EU/AU).

I guess no one wants an audio rip of Mario Kart Wii. XP
And all these post must had scared Chaotic from posting the "latest" dojo update.
psst. it's a complete list of all sticker in the game.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Chaotic basically sums it up for me too. lol

I find playing Brawl both offline and online fun. One thing I like about online is that I can paper-bitch-slap-fan someone without the person next to me "poking" me to stop.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah, I find it kind of weird/stupid too. But I think you use the song in a custom stage. >_>

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

The price is just an example because people would think that they paid X amount of money to get their money worth. Online or not, Brawl is worth $50. And as it said before online experience varies depending on everybody connection and distant. Nintendo might as well recalled all copies of US Brawl and re-release a non online version stating, "Due to the nature of an online fighting game, we decided that the rest of the world will never get internet speed here in Japan thus we remove it so you won't experience the horrible lag that you get from your throttled ISP." So Brawl online is acceptable IMO. They can't help it if people subscribe to the low package speed from their ISP or whatever is available to them or their ISP is doing something to their connection or the distant between multiple players (because Brawl can be play up to 4 players instead of your usual/traditional 2 players) or if you have a brother that's leeching all the bandwidth to download his TV shows and movies that he missed while being away. >_>

Oh, who cares if the upholstry is ripped and the suspension is shot. They weren't part of what I paid for! The manufacturer told me they weren't so good with leather, so the seats are all mangled. Oh well. ...

I'll say this is a bad comparison. A car manufacture will guarantee all parts and all parts total the cost of a car. For a game it's at a set price and as I said before Nintendo stated that Brawl online will be difficult to do. The market world would be a wonderful place if consumer was able to say, "Eh, I don't want the online portion in my game so remove it from my copy and I'll pay $40 for it" or "Hey, the online portion didn't meet my expectation. I want a refund on that part or make it better as my ISP throttled my connection / I subscribe to a low package speed / my brother is taking up all the bandwidth."

I know what you're trying to say with it, and I'm not sure if you're just having trouble expressing it, but I get the gist of it. Maybe relatively lag-free, let's go with that.

Perhaps I didn't word it right but my stand is that when it comes to online gaming, there's never going to be a "lag-free", "no discernable lag" or "no lag that affects the gameplay as much" experience. I keep saying "due to the nature of an online fighting game" because that's the whole point about this. I go to other forum and I keep seeing a post like, "Mario Kart Wii online is lag free even with 12 players worldwide! Why couldn't Nintendo do the same for Brawl?!" People don't know how online gaming works and that any kind of fighting game will experience worst lag than FPS and racing. It all factor depending on the game, your ISP and distant.

I'll say we can go back and forth on this but we will go nowhere with it. I think I said enough so I'm really going to stop here as I feel like everything has been said and done. I hope people enjoy (or not) this wall-of-text. So I'm out (not the game, but about the current posts XP).

How ya doing, buddy?

I think you need to KO'ed 5 or more to unlock the music. I got screwed and only KO'ed 9 (need one more to unlock something). @_@

SSE, I thought the dojo update explain everything. It's your typical video game villain that wants to take over the world... into his world.

I also cleared SSE with 93%. I should go back and try to collect anything I'm missing.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Nothing about unlocking the music.

Heh, maybe I was mistaken for the Muti-Man Melee music.
I don't remember at the top of my head to what I've done and unlock on Muti-Man Brawl. Cruel Brawl and 15-minutes Brawl made me stay away from it.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

To this point, I’ve received a great number of screenshots that focus on peeking at the undergarments of certain Brawl combatants. So let me just say it again—shots like these will never be posted to the Dojo or sent out to users via the Smash Service.

...because that was expected, even if the game was rated M and receiving that many screenshots. People are sick.

But then this screenshot made it to the Japanese page!

Well, it doesn't focus on what Mr. Sakurai said. So if any of you sicko like taking screenshot like this, then you know when it's just TOO much.

Also, to what Mr. Sakurai said above, even when the daily update will stop next Monday, it seems like he's saying the dojo will receive update from time to time as they want to upload more screenshot in the future... and announce when Brawl will be release in EU/AU.

FELIPE NO

WTF? I thought Bleh was your friend or something because it isn't on GFF Wiki page nor on my friend roster. That person requested to add me to his friend roster and I accept it. Now my roster if full.
Oh well. Great game nevertheless.

I would assume it does but the only way to make sure is to do a little test via training. lol
I test it out and Kirby doesn't have the Aura within him to copy exactly like Lucario. lol

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Yeah, the release date for EU/AU.
...and that I hope they will do another screenshot gallery.

Oh man, that's one MASSIVE trivia/tidbits! Some are fun to know while others are interesting/not discovered by fans. Well it's been fun smashbros.com. Don't worry I'll come back to you when I need to look up something. You save me $20 by not buying the borken guide.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Wait. You're talking about classic mode, right? Anyway, you would had gotten MOAR points if you didn't lose any stock.

Well good luck on intense mode. You gonna need it. @_@

...then play with every character to add to your trophy collection if you haven't done so already...

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I found 100-man Brawl to be a pain because I'm doing it for ALL characters and they get aggressive near the end. Once they start knocking me off the stage I find it a bit difficult to get back on some characters. @_@

After that is off to All-Star and Boss Battle. x_x

How ya doing, buddy?

LOL, nice.

And when are we going to have that snapshot-of-the-week-thing?! I have plentysome to show off!

Most amazing jew boots

Eh, guess I must had missed the part of PMing you the picture. lol

I'll submit one by tomorrow.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Yeah, I have been on the MKWii bandwagon for a while now just unlocking everything. Once things settle down (aka get all three two star ranks) I'll be going back to playing Brawl... or I might be available over the weekend!

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Gah! Sorry if I didn't play against you guys tonight. I WAS playing it a bit earlier with my brother's friend and my brother's friend's friend. lol

After an hour or so we all decided to play MKWii for about 5 hours (just stop playing about 10 minutes ago).

Maybe Sunday afternoon and/or evening? I need a break from MKWii as life doesn't want me to reach 8000+ ranking online. x_x

ADDED SUNDAY AFTERNOON: Sacred X and I are done playing MKWii online so we're playing Brawl. So join in NAO if you want to play! XD

FELIPE NO

I'm on right now so why don't you join in?

How ya doing, buddy?

I know Sacred X always contact me via AIM whenever he wants to play so everybody else feel free to do the same (or PM me if you don't use AIM)... just remember not to bother me during primetime on weekdays/8 PM - 10 PM EST. lol

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Ack! I missed joining in you guys yesterday. I mean I saw your post but was busy at the time. Maybe someone wants to play later today? XD;

There's nowhere I can't reach.

If only I saw your post/IM a hour ago. I was just playing MKWii online and now I busy doing stuff. @_@

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
