PLaying PM online on the Wii itself

[browndunce]

I know there is a way to play PM online on the Wii by putting the FC on wiimifi. However, I have heard that there is copious amounts of lag when playing like this. Can someone upload a few matches on YouTube of someone playing PM with another person using WFC for me to look at to see how much lag there is? Thanks!

You would have to play online yourself, because it's kind of hard to tell the amount of lag by just watching it. You have to experience it.

Yeah, you can't judge how much lag there is by looking at a video that is played in real time without the frame delay or lag spikes. Also, people are able to adapt and adjust to the lag, making a replay of the match in real time look better than it actually is. The quality of wi-fi depends on the connection both you and your opponent have. You have to experience it personally. Nevertheless, I can give you video examples of what you want from my YT channel if that helps.

This is P:M 3.02, wiimmfi.

I saw your videos, and it isn't as bad as the Smash 4 For Glory level lag. It looks good. However, I decided just to use netplay, it's probably a better option. Thanks for your help though!

netplay is definitely the better option.

Edit: I take it back.

...

what are you talking about?

option implies you have a choice between the two.
If you can't use netplay it's NOT an option.

Ergo....netplay is the better of the 2 options.

The existence of Netplay isn't news to us, and we settle for wifi as a last resort. Nobody actually wants to use wifi if they have other choices. Ugh

Ah. Yeah I should read OP's more and not just titles, lol. Sorry for being rude and sarcastic. I thought you were just making a random suggestion. I hear a lot of people say "get Netplay" as though it's just that easy for everyone.
