Differences I've noticed with Offline Luigi and Online Luigi

Coming offline to online, the only obvious thing to notice is input lag. It destroys you. But when you were raised with 6-8 months of nothing but wifi (like myself and Hippie), you start to notice details between Offline Luigi and Online Luigi. Here's a few I noted:

-Buffering and crawldashing tricks are harder to do and less effective online, since spacing is terrible, and combos actually exist.

-Marth is SO much easier online. They can only have space f-air spam, and you can so easily roll in before they get a d-tilt or Dancing Blade. Then you can start your "combos".

-Meta Knight is unbelievably easier online. I've played GOOD Meta Knight players online, and won. Then I play a random MK from a local tournament, and I still win, but I have to change my playstyle, even though I'm clearly better than the MK.

-Roll and sidestep spam are too good online. You won't get punished even half as often unless you're really really predictable with them.

-Luigi's aerial combos are godly when there's very little to mediocre input lag. It's pretty sad how many 0-65% combos you can get on people.

-Call me crazy, but I find that there's a certain point where G&W becomes so much easier. They lose their spaced aerials, and they begin spamming his smashes, which makes Luigi's game so much easier. If the lag is TOO bad though, you can't punish the terribly spaced aerials, and you get hit with the smashes.

-ROB is slightly easier, because they always get predictable when they try to camp, and once again, Luigi's godly aerial combos ****.

-Snake becomes harder, at least camping Snakes do. I find it's much easier to counter their spam or mortar slide offline when you can be really precise with timing.

-*This one is for Hippie* Falcon can actually compete with Luigi online, where Luigi can't just aerial his way through....everything of Falcon's. Not to mention Reverse Falcon Punches can actually land in lag.

That's all I really have right now, I'm going off the top of my head here. Anything else, please feel free to post :D :D :D

You can add me to that list of being raised on wifi. I think I've only played like 6 matches offline. I do appreciate the matchup experience but it gets repetitious fast when everyone seems to play Ike or Marth. It especially irks me when someone picks Luigi against me to see if they can defeat me with my own main. When reading your points above I was physically shaking my head and saying "that's right" so needless to say, I agree when it comes to wifi. I might attend Apex in April (?? I believe), it's an hour drive for me.

I might hit it up as well. And yes I was raised by wifi as well. I'm all for wifi, of course offline is the real thing, but wifi is there and isn't useless what so ever.

Lol zhao, me you and hippie get basically no lag at all.
You live about 30mins away from me. I can probably visit you, but it's pointless since our connection is like near perfect. Also, zhao is in canada so hes near us lol

much harder to bair buffer offline.
n00b. i can do it faster then u son. nah im jk loll. its hard to space as **** in wifi.

Playing wifi is definately better than not playing, though it isn't as good as playing offline. There is no reason to not play wifi if you have a good connection and you don't want to/can't go anywhere on a Saturday. Its still matchup experience. Too bad I live in Idaho and I have bad connections with anyone, AND I'm fairly far from most brawl stuff -__-

Actually, playing Wi-Fi with me actually not only lowers your skill at Brawl but your brain actually begins to atrophy at an astonishing rate.

I've noticed that sometimes my brain will randomly disconnect. Something about error code: 81420?
Yeah, I entered that into the error section of the website and it has to do with an incompatible router.
You just have to move your self in spacetime to a better access point.

No, it's not too good. It's pretty good.
Speaking of which.
I know some of you want to play me, so... I'll be here between now and.... *adds 5 to GMT*
Never mind, I'll be on for the next 4, count 'em, 4 hours. So act now.
