I'm so freaking tired today....... I BLAME YOU BRAWL! YOUR AWESOME FUNNESS KEPT ME UP TOO LATE LAST NIGHT.

We need an I Blame Brawl thread....

I've only had lag during a 4 player game with fazz and Ken everyone else was pretty much lag free, I mean I played TheSource and isn't he from New York? I mean I'm almost as south as you can go (and still be in the US) and had a 99.9% lag free match with him (It slowed down once for a second)

It's mostly connection, but if its similar to playing Smash on the N64 online its also a bit of items, stage effects, and movement, but I doubt its that big of a deal for real Wi-Fi connection over an emulator.

The first time I played online, the lag wasn't bad (I fought mrkeptchup and kicked butt). The next day, the lag was so bad that the people who fought me propably thought I was some noob. I'm much better than that, but trying to fight when your moves are delayed is hard!

HOw much does that Wii lan adapter cost? I think I'll have to buy it, or just get a faster internet speed--but how do you do that? lol.

But I don't want a network cable running from the third floor bedroom where my router is all the way to my living room on the second floor. That would be a hassle and defeat the purpose of my spiffy router. :-p

-edit-

And wouldl love to play the people that added me but it's going to be about another 12 hours before I can play.  In the middle of a crunch cycle so I get home late and the fiancee doesn't like it when I come home without paying her any attention first.   

The few friends matches i've played only the first few had lag and after sorting out connection problems on my end they've been good.

Matches with random people have been especially good. They connect even faster than friend matches actually. I'm usually not even punching the punching bag for more than a few seconds whereas friend matches I can wait 10-15 seconds before we start. I'm guessing Nintendo has set up a system to find another random brawler close to you.
