I don't get peoples problem with Brawl's online, I've played it for 20 hours and I can't remember experiencing lag more than maybe once or twice.

When did you go online? I bought the game day one and brought it online before doing anything else. I was so excited to play it online. However it lagged and glitched mutliple times and the loading before matches was absolutely horrible. I remember others complaining online about how crappy the gameplay was.

Now I stopped playing it online after like 2-3 days and resorted to only playing with friends locally. I guess the servers were probubly over loaded and since it was right at launch they probubly had some other problems. But it definatly did not make a good selling point for their to be so many problems.

In the next SmashBros I expect up to 8 players , tons more playable and a cool ranking and battle system. Also I expect Nintendo to make sure the online service runs at 100% day one, no glitches no lag. Nintendo needs to better implement Smash Bros online. Also different online modes would be cool to.

I mean maybe a hot potatoe game where you hit someone to pass the potatoe on before it blows. Or how about a hold onto the flag game where one player gets a flag that they loose if hit, the person with the flag the longest wins. Or how about Team Brawl online or maybe online story mode co-op. Nintendo could really make the next SmashBros the best online game on the market, step aside Master Chief Mario and friends are gonna kick your ass.

I went online fairly regularly in the 3 or 4 months following the European launch (June 2008).  I can honestly say honestly saw that I experienced lag rarely.  On the subject of the Wii's online games, I've also never experienced lag on Monster Hunter, Tatsunoko vs Capcom or Mario Kart Wii either.  I haven't really found any lag on any of my online DS games either I play regularly (Mario Kart DS, Pokemon and MP Hunters)

My download speed is 10.6mb per second, which I now is above the national average.  Maybe that contributed?

Actually to be honest Smash Bros was the worst lag I've experianced on the Wii. I haven't really suffered lag on any of the other console games. I did get alittle lag on AC:WW but then that was also right after launch. Also wasn't Brawl released in NA first, they probubly fixed it up for the European launch. I bet it isn't lagging as much now but it sure did a ton at launch.
