Brawl Online is working SO well today

Has it happened? Did Nintendo finally fixed Brawl online? I've been playing today in random matches, no lag, takes like a minute for 3 other people to join in!!! What's going on?!

i had both

its working really well right now, im not sure why

You know, I did try to sign on this morning and I kept getting a "Network disconnected" error, which I've never gotten before. Plus, everything else connected to my router, including the Wii itself, worked just fine. Maybe they did do some maintenance.

I'm sure if I tried to play it right now, it would still take 20 minutes to find at least 2 people.OreoMilkshake

Yeah really..I mean I can go try right now to see whats up but I dont have anyone from these forums as brawl friends LOL.

try random matches, thats what i was doing

Brawl online is very dependant on the connection speeds of everybody playing. If everyone has a fast stable connection the game is lag free. If one person has a slow or unstable connection the match is laggy. It actually has nothing to do with the Nintendo servers. Its all luck and the trust that people with crappy internet connections don't play online. The game would work better if it matched people up with like connection speeds.

well Im gonna post my brawl friend code up on the list so if you guys wanna fight then hit me up ok. I have a good connection speed. Oh and I just got on had onl ONE match today and it was laggy as hell!!

Brawl uses havok?

[QUOTE="OreoMilkshake"][QUOTE="Sepewrath"] Well whats up with the random match issue, I have a good connection I can play Mario Kart Wii worldwide without a problem, I'm in the Uncharted 2 beta on the PS3 without a hiccup, I play my 360 online with no trouble the only game I have a problem with is Brawl, because I simply cant find a match. That's not that's not the fault of my connection. painguy1

[QUOTE="OreoMilkshake"]Exactly. It's the way the game was designed. It could even be the Havok engine because Deadly Creatures uses it and it has terrible framerate problems. I'm just guessing, btw.OreoMilkshake

So all the trouble about brawl online was mostly because people had the definitions wrong and were slowing each other?

I've been satisfied playing the game online with random people since it came out, and I never thought it was as bad as people have tried to make it out to be. Over the past several months the game has ran noticeably smoother though for sure.

You have to understand that every games network infrastructure is setup different. Just because you can get online fine with the majority of your games, doesn't mean that its going to be the same for every game you buy. If your having trouble connecting, or finding matches, its as simple as properly configuring your connection so that it will work with the way the games network is setup. You cannot blame Nintendo for not configuring YOUR connection.

I've never had any problems whatsoever connecting in any online game since the PS2 days, and its probably due to the fact that I'm not firewalled, and the ISP I have (ATT), and the way their network is setup. There are going to always be some server issues whether your connection is perfect or not. These issues will usually resolve themselves after time. These issues seems to occur more at peak hours when a lot of people are on the wifi connection, even when it may not be a large number of people playing the same online game your playing. Its kinda like the servers for all the games are together or something.

its been working fine for me for the past couple a months :P

yeah brawl wifi is pretty so-so for me. this one time, i was playingwith two friends, the game was going fine for a while, then a the last 7 seconds, the game froze and we were waiting there for like 15 mins! but im goin to try that thing on youtube that painguy1 said to go see :)

ooh and btw, if everyone here is playig random people, at my site (in signature) we have loads of people who play wi-fi all the time. And our site is pretty active too so if anyone wants to come and play, we're open for new members :) (also, i just want to say that people at our site are pretty good if you want a challenge... and then there's me O_o LOL kidding im pretty decent)

not exactly, but this helps get rid of interference from nintendos servers. It opens up ur NAT which also causes lag in the 360. I found a similar guide to this on Nintendo, but they didnt go over the static ip part which i go over in this tutorial.

Good to hear, I have been getting back into Brawl lately. I played my buddy in California the other day and it worked fine, so I was happy about that.

Brawl is terrible online for me, way too laggy. It's a pitty too, I'd probably be the best player here. o.o
