So I posted this on the Reddit as well but I'm x-posting here as well to try and soak up some advice on the situation. I appreciate any advice you have to give.
We only live about 2 hours from each other but as we both have jobs it's not often we can go to each other's house for local play. With that short of a distance, at least from my perspective, the lag is nigh non-existent. Of course you can slightly feel that extremely small window of delay but it's ignorable after a few seconds of movement.
Here are some of the things I hear in almost every match, and it's starting to get annoying, I was hoping you guys could give me some advice in what to say or how to help him...figure his **** out because it's becoming a task to deal with.
- "It just doesn't do anything when I want it to"
- "Obviously I didn't mean to do that (X ability or move) twice"
- "Why am I facing the wrong way"
- "You really think I would have used that (X ability or move) right there?"
And for me, the worst one:
- "It's perfectly fine offline"
So this is constant in almost every match and as you can imagine it's irritating.
I get that the buffering is an adjustment. I also get that the slight delay takes getting used to (I'm in Elite at 2.7 mil GSP so I've done a lot of online matching and arenas too). However we've done hundreds of stocks against each other at this point and it does seem to me he is playing like poop and does weird things, that maybe he wouldn't normally do? We both use GC controllers.
Here's a few of the things I've said to him that have not helped...
- "We both deal with the same delay and buffering, and we both use the same controller"
- "Don't mash, be precise with your inputs"
Beyond this I just don't know what I can do to "fix" his issue or get him to adapt or stop complaining. We've always been neck and neck in previous smash games, but so far in this game he's been a pretty lacking training partner, according to him due solely to the supposedly crippling buffering and online lag...but as I said when we play I barely notice anything...he seems absolutely *convinced* that there is some functional/technical issue going on, and I'm starting to resent the attitude because I just see it as him playing like trash which is TBH uncharacteristic of him...but it is a "new game" after all.
Any advice for how to deal with this... :/?
