In a word yes. After you exchange f/cs. You also obviously have more options for friend battles then you do with random...

LEFT4DEAD411.COM
Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release. (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

Actually I'd be in favour of a set-up like that. Does anyone know if it will rank you (but remain unseen) for the purpose of pitting you against comparibly skilled players or will it be totally random?
Yeah I have to agree that it's definitely strange for an online fighting game not to have a leaderboard. I doubt most Nintendo fans will miss it though since online doesn't seem to be a big deal for them like it is for PC/360/PS3.
I have mixed feelings on the ranking thing, but overall I still think it will be great.
*hopes of a patch to fix this*

I absolutely hated MKDS for it's leaderboards, When someone was losing they always disconnected, It was a stupid leaderboard anyway and I think this is better, it would be better though if it was ranked the person who disconnects loses points and gets a lose with it. Just like anyother online game not done by Nintendo. I wouldn't care about such a lb, but they should have done player and ranked matches.
The leaderboards in MPH were dominated by hackers, even the really obsessed people didn't stand a chance. Hopefully this will kill a good portion of the hackers that would have appeared for the sake of a leaderboard position.

Checkers /= SSBB.
Leaderboards for a game like this are a no-win situation and here's why:
A) The game has leaderboards which go by wins:losses ratio. Players use packet shapers to cheat and drop if they're going to lose by unplugging their router so it looks like the connection was lost.
B) The game has leaderboards which go by points. 13 year olds with no job, school or friends dominate the top because of sheer number of hours they can spend playing the game.
The best SSB players will still be determined by tournaments, as it's been in the past. They'll just be online tournaments this time around.
"I mean, c'mon, Viva Pinata, a game with massive marketing, didn't sell worth a damn to the "sophisticated" 360 audience, despite near-universal praise--is that a sign that 360 owners are a bunch of casual ignoramuses that can't get their heads around a 'gardening' sim? Of course not. So let's please stop trying to micro-analyze one game out of hundreds and using it as the poster child for why good, non-1st party, games can't sell on Wii. (Everyone frequenting this site knows this is nonsense, and yet some of you just can't let it go because it's the only scab you have left to pick at after all your other "Wii will phail1!!1" straw men arguments have been put to the torch.)" - exindguy on Boom Blocks
