Brawl completely throws me off.

I got this real problem in Brawl when playing offline the responses are 1:1 (GC controller). The moment a press button or tap the joystick it immedeately responds.

BUT... when I'm online and even when there's no lag I the control reactions are not 1:1. It hesitates a little bit. I get a lot problems when it comes to air and roll dodging as well as a few other button and joystick issues. It completely throws me off. And lag makes it even worse, whenever it occurs.

Get used to it thanks to the developer's horrible decision to make all movement require server verification before it happens on your end, causing everything to have a delayed reaction.

Only way I've found Brawl to be playable online without the latency being an issue is playing friend code matches against local people.

I thought all matches are hosted locally on one of the brawler's wii. It would explain why you get lag with people far away, but no lag with local people. If it was all going to some central server, it would be the same lag no matter who you played.

Unless I'm completely clueless as to how it all works.

so i guess im not the only one. i ve been playing a few matches gainst this guy thats been inviting me, his online status circle is mostly orange or sometimes yellow (not too good) and everytime we fight it seems like he's on turbo while im in slo-mo mode. his moves are linked one after the other while when i do ganondorfs forward b, nothing happens, ido up b, then i do his punch..at that moment, ganon performs the forward b and flys off stage, does up b more away from the stage and i die. other moves sometimes dont even recoginize while others are late enough that my opponent walk behind me and my moves go into the wrong directions. i got no chance watso ever. all i have to say is LAME.

You just have to accept that online with anyone is currently sub par. Maybe they can patch it? Let's hope so:).

Its called delay. Most online games have something like it.Tokyo512

yep, i got used to it. just press the button ahead of time to pick up the items, and you'll be fine. i haven't had any big problems with it.

I dont have that much lag since I have a good connection :)SMR-Venom

Having a good connection does not increase the speed of light XD

i feel the same way. brawl is unplayable online.bluntmastaslaya

thats a bit of an exaggeration. Some games are good others are bad friend matchs are pretty flawless but you have to somehow notify your friends and thats a pain. The whole thing is clunky and Nintendo unnecessarily adds extra steps to the online process thats makes it so the average person who buys brawl to just forget it and play locally.
