Yeah, I tried Brawl online the other day, and I have to say that it is almost totally broken. I don't care about voice/picture chat nearly as much as most gamers out there, but when the integral component of online play (that is, actually playing online) doesn't work there is a serious problem.

(I couldn't even successfully get into one match, and I have a good connection)

Why couldn't you get into a match? I've yet to have that problem.

Maybe they're like me and behind a firewall that they can't control. Also, all the matches I've played have been very laggy, but I can only play against friends, and really the only people I have for that are people here and probably all halfway across the world. Oh well.

Lag seems strange to me.

Sometimes I'll tons of matches with no lag then a week later I'll play with the same person and have tons of it. Naznatips and I played a single match last night for example. The lag was to the point where I decided to step out. Went into a game with MaxwellGT2000, fazz, and Taomaster and had lag there too however fazz left and all the lag was instantly gone.

Yet fazz and I have played lag-free matches in the past...
