I've noticed something that has been happening more and more frequently in recent months: when I go to the 4-player mode of For Glory, I enter a room and there is one other person in that room (for a total of 2 people: me and one other person). The two other player slots are empty and say "waiting...", and it STAYS that way for more than 5 matches. It usually goes something like this:
I go to the 4-player mode to play against 3 other people, not to get stuck in 1 vs. 1 matches over and over again. In addition, I don't like playing 1 vs. 1 matches within the 4-player mode because they are timed to only 2 minutes, meaning that Sudden Death matches are more frequent. (I hate Sudden Death matches, because I usually lose them -- Yoshi isn't good at Sudden Death matches).
It just seems like the online environment of Smash 4 is deserted. There aren't enough people playing For Glory to be able to play 4-player matches with frequency anymore. In many cases, the 4-player mode of For Glory has become a de facto 1 vs. 1 area because there aren't enough people playing it. In addition, I keep seeing the same players over and over again, day after day. Note that I don't think I'm in the so-called "For Glory Hell".
Has anyone else experienced these problems? I know most people are playing Ultimate, but there are still a few playing Smash 4 in 2019.
(Also, I've noticed that the entire "Smash for Wii U" section of this forum has been almost entirely inactive in recent months).
- Me and one other person are in the 4-player room, and no one shows up in the other two player slots -- a 1 vs. 1 match begins, then that match ends.
- After the 1st match, it's just me and one other person in the 4-player room with no one else showing up. A second 1 vs. 1 match begins, then that match ends.
- After the 2nd match, it's STILL just me and one other person in the 4-player room, with no one else showing up (i.e. two empty player slots). A third 1 vs. 1 match begins, then that match ends.
