Smash 4 Online General Discussion/Social/Thing

[Cap'nChreest]

It's most likely that people are busy or some of the people have split off into smaller groups.

Or moved on.

moved on.... to skype

Its ok I'm still here pika.

 

[Milo AKA Papa]

This thread needs more love than the 100 skype chats do

swag on em

lmao, unintentional page steals still count I guess

We should leave Skype for an entire week. See what happens to this thread.

Atm Skype is the only major thing that's in the way.

I'm sure if we focus our social-ness here, this thread would have much more activity.

 

[Milo AKA Papa]

I'd like to see that happen

 

[Deleted member]

I don't like the current position advertisements are located. In Skype, that is.

 

[Metalbro]

This might probably help with that.

Yeah, I already did it. The "apps.skype.com" workaround disables Skype Home entirely, so you can't see other users' status messages, but it works.

So is the tournament mode Wii U exclusive? I thought so, but some articles explicitly stated that the tournament mode would come to both systems. I can't find it on the 3DS though.

Late, and probably already know by now, but yet it is. As well as the YouTube feature.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

I need to come here more often.

This place dies way too much.

I wish Smash 4 had multiplayer that didn't feel several steps behind, say, Starcraft 1. I'm completely incapable of playing against opponents from which I get zero feedback. Being able to create purposeful lobbies for practice, being able to type (hell no to voice chat with randoms, of course...) would let me hear from people when I find myself stumped by some trick to a new MU, being able to just see a gl hf or a gg, even, would at least grant some peace of mind if and when, say, I end a 0-120% string with an SD, or whatever.

Hell, I can't even message people out-of-game to ask if they want to play-- it's just a matter of making a lobby and headbutting a wall for the next half-hour wondering if someone's apt to look at the list. I mean, come on... Couldn't reach the standards set by games made, what, nearly two decades ago, now? Brawl was the first with online, so, sure, I expected what we got there...

But I'm rambling. It just really feels terrible to have nothing but a sub-skeletal system for practice. The fact that Skype and the like is strictly -required- just to find people to begin with in any reasonable format is just... beyond irksome.

Much as I love Smash 4, I die a little inside every day I forget myself and try FG again. Win or lose, it always manages to feel more like a stress test than any sort of useful practice.

 

[Milo AKA Papa]

Have you ever tried anthers? It sounds like an easy fix to what you want.

 

[ORVO5]

Soooo.. I've been noticing this lately, the past couple of days it's been pretty difficult finding people to fight online (1vs1 and 2vs2 for glory). What's going on? Is Sm4sh already over? I used to find players just by logging on..

You might be banned, I consistently get people instantly when I come on.

 

[Zio~]

Im having this problem every time Im playing with friends online: The match freezes at some random point like if one of us got disconected, but instead of that, once we both get kicked to separated rooms and alone, This has been happening since 2 days now, I tried openimg my ports but that doest fix anything. If anyone has any idea why this could be happening please let me know a way to fix this.

ps: Sorry for bad english, have in mind Im from south america and my weird internet provider could have something to do with this problem.

 

[Milo AKA Papa]

That sounds like regular old bad connection. The connection between you and your friend probably just isn't great.

And by isn't great I mean it sounds like the connection between you two are trash.

Have you played with this friend before without problems?

Yes, I infact did, we used to play perfectly before, but the problem I mentioned started a couple of weeks ago, it even happens in FG.

What system has this been happening on?

 

[Zio~]

What system has this been happening on?

Wii u.

 

[Milo AKA Papa]

Wii u.

I'm not quite sure then, I'd suggest calling up your internet provider to help.

 

[Scribe]

Maybe this is because I have a bit more of a background in traditional fighters, but am I the only one who thinks that Smash could benefit a lot from a prediction and rollback-based lag handling system like GGPO?

The gist of it is that rather than the the systems not rendering each frame until all players have received each others' inputs, each client game predicts what will happen based on previous inputs. If there's a discrepancy between the predicted and received input, the game rolls the match back to the last frame before the discrepancy occurred. End result is that you can choose between whether high latency results in smooth gameplay with choppy visuals or laggy gameplay with smooth visuals.

Of course, with the way Smash handles things, you usually get choppy visuals and laggy gameplay

Mike Zaimont of Skullgirls fame explains it here.

 

[Daxter]

Finally got a replay; I'm sorry it's so bad; officially I'm the world's worst player.

Have ya guys had issues getting online on Smash 3DS lately? The past couple of days I always get the "Communication error has occurred" message now.

I know i have, been over a month since i've seen it, (not surprised really) my guess either people are blocking/reporting just because they find you out of their league when they lose.

Well great, that sounds like I'll never be able to get online ever again

My advice is to go to one of the Fc/ NNID Exchange threads if you want to play friendly people who want to have fun in matches.

The issue is whenever I hit online in the main menu though I would get the "Communication error has occurred" message after waiting for a couple seconds

 

[RosalinaSGS]

Quick questions: Is it possible to report people in 3DS For Glory? What's this For Glory ban land I've heard about?

 

[Metalbro]

Yes, you can report people on 3DS FG.

FG Ban Land or Hell is where people who have been reported many times go. It basically places you with other people who were reported a lot and you only play these people for quite some time. I'm not sure for how long.

 

[Milo AKA Papa]

Ay dora when you wanna catch these falcon hands B)

And with the reporting, you can tap the opponents character in the results screen and it will show their profile. There you can choose to report or block someone, or just look at their status message. I'm not sure how long the report or block lasts though.
