What triggers the voice chat to get locked? Is it on a timer? Has anyone else ran into this problem?

I'm not sure what you mean, but I think you can only chat between matches, where you have to unlock it to speak. It locks after the stage selection screen.

And uh...why haven't we played yet?

You can choose to voice chat, but after a while, it just stops and says "locked." Then you have to play a game or leave before you can voice chat some more.

You can only Chat on the select screen, and the results screen. It was said during the Nintendo Direct 50 facts. Just press the minus button it activates it but once you get into the match it locks it. They did that to prevent as much lag during matches.

That's not the issue. What he's saying is that WHILE Chat is activated on the CSS/menu, you can only talk for a certain length of time before it automatically turns off and says "Locked". At that point, you have to finish a game/rehost the room in order to enable it again.

Probably not meant for long talk sessions.

I actually had it locked upon creating a room; none of us could use it last night. My only guess is they took it down temporarily or you all need to be mutual friends (as in everyone has everyone added), though I could have sworn this wasn't the case on launch day.
