I believe so, as much as I dislike the idea.

I have been playing WiFi matches basically all day, and I just cannot bring myself to play Jigglypuff anymore on it. It's a disaster.

It seems to me, in order to be an efficient Puff it requires 0 lag. I find since the WoP is tough to pull off, and requires precision DI, as well as correctly timed Fairs or Bairs it just won't work with the Delay and Lag. I just can't pull of any good chain of Bairs or Fairs unless I'm not online. It also makes landing Rests much tougher. For me Online Jiggs was simply spam aerials until they were high enough to Rollout for the kill.

Anyone else feel this way?

TheAmazingJordo is right about the lag -Jigglypuff seems to suffer from it more than characters who can fight well on the ground. Air combos are very hard to do when there is lag.

Rest is very, very, very situational now. I've tried using it in lag and it has failed miserably every attempt.

If we are lucky the lag will be fixed and we won't have to worry about it anymore, but as of now the Wifi is a disaster.

I played about 8 random brawl matches and about 10 2v2s with some friends.
Me on jiggs and bud on Pit vs an Ike and toon link. We won about half despite the lag we had, simply because the other team had it also.

I noticed the lag while playing a 2v2 with some friends. WoP was more difficult to perform as I had what felt like a half second delay. So far I'm not overly impressed with Online play.

As a side note, There is a tutorial online some where-a-bouts that walks you through the process of setting up your Wii for optimal online play (inputting your DHCP, etc) It reduced the lag, but didn't eliminate it. Perhaps as more Smash players discover this we will see considerably less lag overall.
