if you mean the ''with anyone'' mode, it can take up to 15 minutes to find a group, when I first tried this mode I thought it wasn't working for me but it seem this is normal...

Sometimes Team Battles works better than Basic Brawl.
Team Battles ALWAYS seems to have someone.
But when people just quit on me in TB, I usually go to Basic Brawl, hoping for a one-on-one.

Yeah because in addition to all the lag wait times etc. Alot of the good players don't play on anyone brawl so there are way more mediocre/horrible players than good players.

Am I the only one that usually gets a group in under a minute and has basically no lag?

Seriously?

I've done With Anyone at the same time for three days consecutively. It always seems to work fine, for me.

Come on, I know I can't be the only one.

Right?

i figuered out that the longer you tr the better it works.
that means u search for a basic brawl, wait 8 minutes and have a game.
it laggs and you are ****ed up, so you try another game and in one minute you found a party.
next time you leve, you ´ll find a party very quick again, and laggs aren´t there anymore.

but i wonder, why i always find battle on spectator mode but have to w8 hours for a basic brawl.

Spectator Mode is just replays of online matches being streamed to your Wii.

I'm pretty sure that in spectator mode your Wii downloads the match, and loses it once you disconnect from the server.

People do play in basic brawl and team battle. Sometimes you have to wait longer to find them than other times.

like serris I have no problem online. quickly find matches, no lag and even though my opponents are rarely any good they dont just muck about and I do find the occasional good player.

really wish nintendo could have at least made some sort of friend code exchange system in free-for-all like they did in metroid prime hunters for the DS

It works fine for me sometimes, although I got to hate the people that camp and do silly taunts while other people are trying to fight. It loses the mood of the fight real easily. T_T

I do play online from time to time. Unfortunately I always suffer from button-lag (as everyone else), which makes serious play almost impossible. Besides there's no 1 vs 1 option, you just have to be lucky.

Oh well, I'm glad Brawl at least HAS an online mode..
