Kaillera at College?

[NeoKronos]

Will be off to uni in a year but wondering if anyone successfully plays over Kaillera while at college using their network? Or if you'd have to ask the IT guys to set it up or something.

Also, how laggy is it with so many people on the same connection? Hope its doable, don't think I can afford my own connection :S

I know ALOT of people that plays smash 64 online via kaillera, and they don't seem to have a problem with it. Of course, home internet is better than wi-fi internet from college, but you should still be fine with it.

depends on the college/network. when i was on campus in the dorms my ping was really high but if i went to the college library it wouldn't lag at all

I attend a large university and do a lot of kaillera playing from my dorm room - my connection is via ethernet and is actually very good. I can play lag-free on my comp any time. Some have certain set restrictions though, so you might have to configure something to make kaillera work, you'll just have to wait and see.

I played plenty of times from the university, but not on p2p, only on server. Works well and you should have a lower ping.

It's highly likely that you won't be able to forward ports if you are using a university connection, which means that you won't be able to host p2p. However, you should still be able to connect to others who host p2p.

Should work unless your uni blocks certain ports Kaillera uses.

As Dash Fox says

also, I have played on campus as well, the connection depended on which building I was in

That's not dash fox

even im doing it now ROFL

Depends on the college i'd assume. I don't think i would be able to play without lag that actually did affect gameplay with my college's wifi, however there are places to plug into ethernet in the dorm rooms.

 

[Ownasaurus]

It definitely depends on the college. However, in my personal experience with the colleges I've been to, I'd say that most colleges' wired connections are pretty solid whereas wireless anywhere is always subpar.

Ok thanks for your responses guys, I think I should be alright.

1)Due to bad connection (upload speed matters too... for example if you have 2000/128 then its basically the same with 256/128kbps) (You dont have to download the keystrokes of your opponent from the server, but also to send yours fast
2)Mistyped their keyframes for their connection
3)Bad emulator Versions (I think the best are mame 0.64 and maybe kawaks 1.45) the newest emulator u have the more it will lag because it may support more games and has bug fixes but at the cost of performance that will make it slower in network
4)Far distances
(As you know your speed connection cant travel fastest from the speed of light)
So even those with super connections will have at least the minimum ping due to distance (Those that play from US to China they have at least 100ms ping)
5)No matter how good the server is, when it is overloaded the ping rises for everyone and those who suffer the most are those that are far away
6) AND the most common reason, different emulator with your opponent means higher chance to desync
7) Of course using your download and upload speed somewhere means lag but i suppose you already know that (especially p2p conenctions)... The more connections your pc handles the more it lags and WinXp with Sp2 limits them

If you want a good ping you should play it in a LAN (I mean real lan , not set tting the keystrokes to lan) otherwise create a server to play with your friend from the same city(the one with the better connection should be, except if you know and have a good server in your city)
