Yeah well, i hate it so much, i may just give up online play :(
I mean, its good once in a while, but i do it everyday
I might just say no to lag and buy another game, like umm
Smash 64, i can play that online, or may it still contain the same laggy issues?

The worst thing about lag is that if it's really bad, the only way to end the game is to turn off the Wii, since you can't get the Quit Game thing to come up. I once got stuck in a 20 minute game and couldn't leave -.-

But when they lost, it was laggy as hell xD

I know what you mean, the lagg is just too much to even play FFA
Even when you are half-way between the states that they live in...

Heres another person you can add to the people who hate lag list.

Lag is just so annoying, especially since when I encounter it its hard for me to show off my mad Toon Link skillz (lol jk but really its hard for me to control my character whenever there is lag) I don't get how in some games like Mario Kart, there is never any lag. Its just like what 1 of my friends put in one of his taunt messages, "lag is the true enemy".
Mario Kart Wii has a different system than Smash Bros.
I notice when i play it, it laggs to a degree were if they lagg at all, they are booted. Basically if you get the "you were disconnected" sign, you were the one lagging.

Oh yes, I hate lag very much.
Example I'm usually stuck with:
Attempting to use usually side-a-non smash.
I attempted using my 3-hit-side-a-attack but the lag turns it into a smash attack and ruins the strategy I planned.
Then there's dodge lag.My friend who uses Ness(BluePSI) gives me lag quite often since he lives in England, and when I attempt to dodge, it's always off, even by a second.
Many societies frown upon lag.

Dodging attacks and getting back on the ledge are the biggest lag prollems for me.

I hate it when i have to push a button 3 times for it to work!

Meta hate much?
Nah, I think it's more "Oh yeah Ness sucks...oh look let's put him in wi-fi. COOL, we've successfully made him suck more".

You have a better rate of winning with intense lag as MK than Ness probably ever will.

I still remember one of my matches where ~7 seconds of real time was 1 second of Brawl time. That match was awful. We all ended up just doing random attacks. It took forever to d/c too.

@Blue: I know...

Hmmm..I see...but for me, if I'm brawling with other friends, Blue is usually the one making us lag.

And yes Brawl wi-fi lag is terrible, when I was playing with another friend, he had lag as bad as Blue's(no offense) and the whole match took like, 7 minutes in real life time, and the match's time limit was 2 minutes. :/
Ps:Nice signature.

My own little world.
I was playing a fun online match (I just got into an awesome group) and it started to lag, causing all the other three to leave the game, it was frustrating. D:

Exactly...
sometimes when I play as Ike online, and there's lag, and I'm trying to recover with Quick Draw, I fail at it.
Also, I like my new siggy :3
