So I just played a few races online...

We're a small community based on Super Smash Bros. Brawl. We have a ranking system, but it doesn't matter.

That's right, the rankings are like the Wii Remote Jacket: nobody cares.

If you're seeing this, that means you're a guest, which means you either haven't signed up or you haven't signed in. Unfortunately, we've had to disable guest posting, so if you want to contribute to our community, you'll need to have an account. If you make a new account with us, you'll be limited to posting in the Beginners forum. Once you make just one post there, you'll become a full-fledged member, and you can post wherever (and almost whatever) you want.

We look forward to brawling with you!

(Also, if you got here without checking out our main site, I suggest you do so: www.globalsmashfederation.com)

Seriously, I got in a race with 11 other people, 4 of which were on the opposite side of the contnent from me, on Grumble Volcano and there was no lag whatsoever. None. At all. Then I tried a With Anyone Brawl... four people. All items. Norfair. Insane amounts of lag. tl;dr version: MKWii's online>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>SSBB's online

Besides, there's a small chance that someone here hadn't learned how easy the Flame Runner makes Time Trials, so I might have actually helped someone.

Obviously, there are people who do things like keep one person in last so they can spam items, while the real driver can win... Second, track spammers. People who pick the same track over and over, even when we just played that track already! Granted, those two are more of player problems, not the online itself. The third one is a little more problematic... As you probably know, the way the online reduces lag is that if someone's connection is lagging, they will 'take control' of that person's character from the point of view of the other people, then they update to what the person actually did. Not a bad thing, but there are times when it can get on your nerves... for example, take this: we were playing on Daisy Circuit. I take the lead early on (thanks to the shortcut), and am still leading going into the 3rd lap. I get Blue Shell'd in the tunnel (fortunately, the tunnel lessens the stun time, thank to the low ceiling), then again at the final Item Box row, and hit with lightning as I land. I STILL come in 1st.. or so I think. After the race is done, the game tells me that I actually came in 2nd. Now, I understand it's good for preventing lag, and I'm fine with that, but being told you didn't win a race thanks to item rape and other people's lag really hurts.

It's rather frustrating.

One guy kept on picking Rainbow Road, even though that was the first track we did. Our second track was N64 DK's Jungle Parkway, but the person who chose it also chose it every time afterwards! I mean, it's fine to keep choosing the same course until it's picked, but once it's picked, choose something else! I usually just go for Random when picking tracks.

BTW, when we do this, make sure to set your main Mii to Mingle; I'm trying to get a copy of everyone's Mii (I only have Zeke's and Pyrex's at the moment >_>)
