I just started playing Wifi... and I hate it. Feels like I'm in a Hyperbolic time chamber that's only hurting me...

These are the pros and cons of wifi:

Pros:
Real human reaction at your disposal.
Player interaction and and multiple ways to practice new things with different people.
Exposure to not only different play styles, but different play styles for the same character.

Cons:
Reaction times are lenient, so not enough practice offline will hamper you from playing so much offline.
Lag is inconsistent. It can be bad, to the point where even the slightest delay will destroy your own options.
Frustration due to the lag mentioned above will beat down on your mental game, making you play worse.
Salt is times 20 on wifi, and people are not always the best of sport, making it EVEN WORSE for your mental game.
Lag.
Lag.
Lag.
And lag.


So in short, wifi is THE BEST form of practice and trying new things due to it's sheer exposure, but not being able to handle the things wifi does will definitely distract from it. As long as you can swallow pride and try to continue on, understanding that wifi is utter stupidness sometimes, you'll be fine.

 

[Denti]

As long as you play offline you shouldn't see any harm in playing some wifi. <3 Pretty much everything Disqo said

 

[AeroLink_the_SoulMaster]

After playing wifi, I usually go back and play the cpus just to get back in tune with offline timing.

 

[Sky Pirate]

I used to play Wifi for up to 17 hours a day. Resolved to never go back after my first smashfest.
I don't see HOW you guys can put up with the things Disqo listed, especially the salty people. ^^;

 

[AeroLink_the_SoulMaster]

Honestly, if I had the resources available to me, I'd rather travel out to every region and play everyone irl.

R.O.B a bank, travel to all tournaments.

 

[DiSQO_BuNNY]

Well duh. That's why people go to tournaments.
Wifi is just that, a resource. You'll improve either way.
I'd rather use the resources available. It's all your preference people.
But if you could stand wifi, then why wouldn't you use it?

 

[NeoBatou]

So some people are saying that playing wifi could hurt your actual offline experience in tournaments?

How you could do ANYTHING for 17 hours in a day baffles me.

words...
WHERE ARE WORDS SUFFICIENT FOR THAT?

 

[AeroLink_the_SoulMaster]

I can't stand it, yet I still use it. lol

 

[AeroLink_the_SoulMaster]

If you think about it, most of our top players in our state don't even do wifi. Yes, wifi is a resource, but it's not necessarily a must for improvement. It does help for sure, I will say that much. Lag hurts. xD

Top players in our state? Really? Please attain the bigger picture Sergio. A resource is a resource, whether you use it or not is up to you. What somebody else does may not be what you require. I hope you can learn that.

 

[AeroLink_the_SoulMaster]

......... yes, really....

No disagreement, really. You make it seem like I'm disagreeing with you...

Not what I meant by the "really" comment. That was a ***** plz moment.
And no, that's not what I'm trying to get across. But nvm me. If I was saying something important to you, you wouldn't think twice about it.

 

[Zano]

Some of the best players from around North America started on wifi and use it for practice, but then there are some who don't use it and do just as well, so, it's basically preference, or w/e you have at your disposal. I wouldn't think you guys need wifi since you're all so close

Haha... I REALLY like playing this game.
Also, time really kind of flies when you get good groups. You get good connections and you won't want to let go.

 

[Denti]

I'm so far gone man. I don't even notice the wifi lag anymore, I barley notice the vVv zero lag anymore.

I literally don't know if TVs lag anymore, I have to ask people.


*is one with the lag*

I've spent more than one time in my life over 20 hours grinding in one spot on an MMORPG. It's a matter of patience and willpower. I couldn't do this any more at this point in my life, but that's why 8 minutes in a game of Brawl wasn't anything to me at all when I first started playing.

I can't stand it, yet I still stand it. lol

I fixed Sergio again.

I'm so far gone man. I don't even notice the wifi gay anymore, I barley notice the vVv zero gay anymore.

I literally don't know if TVs are gay anymore, I have to ask people.


*is one with the gay*

Someone get me a wrench - I keep fixing things.

What? I knew the joke was bad when I made it. Deal with it.

 

[mydadsacop123]

I remember spending 5 hours straight making a Killer Instinct combo video montage about how broken the game is.

The memories

 

[AeroLink_the_SoulMaster]

I've played until the break of dawn before. Zano and RedShadow know what I'm talking about.

 

[Neon!]

I've had connections before with Illmatic that were absolutely perfect, couldnt even tell we were on wifi. In those situations you will truly appreciate how great wifi can be. On the other hand, playing people like vVv zero or rayquaza or anyone who has a terrible connection and takes advantage of it will make you hate wifi.

 

[NeoBatou]

LOL

Remember at Zigsta's old apartment in Austin?
You two played ALL night long while me and Disqo Bunny watched.

 

[Infinitysmash]

6 hours of one matchup on 3 stages.

FK got SO BORED watching that.

 

[UTDZac]

Another reason every character should have their own 9

 

[Dojo]

Shuttle loop tho.

 

[-RedShadow]

Down B tho.

Off topic, what's going on next week? I'll be in town at some point 'cause I gotta pick up my brother that weekend.

 

[Neon!]

[Labernash]

[AeroLink_the_SoulMaster]

Down B tho.

Next week? Idk, I'm sure we can plan some get together. I know Brett wants do a Cinco de Mayo event thingy.

Decided to be random and go looking through this, Idk if it was obvious but it was me.

 

[Denti]

WHat??? You pranked me? Non mods can prank? How?

 

[AeroLink_the_SoulMaster]

Denti with those hard reads.

 

[Zano]

[Deleted member]

I beleive its 2 name changes, and unlimited pranks. From what i saw, there was no number limit on the pranks o.o
