Summary of Wi-Fi Connection Features

[CaptainCC]

Ok, I've been checking other topics on this board and other message boards to gather up everything I can about the Wi-Fi mode. Unfortunately, it sound even more nerfed than I could have imagined. Here's what I've gathered:

"With Anyone mode"
-2 minute time matches required; no stock option
-item switch available
-conflicting reports of 2 v 2 or free for all only. No word on whether or not, if there is 2 v 2, if you can choose whose team you're on.


"With Friends"
-as customizable as a local match, meaning items, stock, time, etc.
-friend codes obviously
-no word on whether the phrases you can say are censored, word limits, etc.

"Multi-Man" and other modes
-haven't really been paying attention because I don't care, but if you know anything post nd I will edit.


I could be wrong on anything because a lot of the stuff I was reading was from yesterday and early this morning; don't know if it's just speculation or panic. It looks to be for sure though that there is no stock option for "with anyone."

So does anyone know if you can have more than one player on the same Wii in Free for All friend matches?

For me it doesn't really matter if I can't play stock matches against random people. But the lack of 1vs1 option lets me down a bit - if this is true of course.

 

[sHy)(gUy]

that sucks, they should make the with anyone mode customizable like gh3 strangers matches and keep track of wins and stuff

 

[Storm Eagle]

No one on one??? OMG! Sakurai, what where you thinking???

 

[IWANTHOTDOG]

Lame i wanted 1v1, thats how you really gain skills.

1 on 1 in "With Friends" mode Online



Seriously people, why are you getting worked up with the "With Anyone" mode being limited? we KNEW this was going to happen 4 months ago, I have no idea why most of you are surprised. Almost every person here is going to hate the With Anyone mode, because it's literally going to be flooded with scrubs at every hour of the day. That mode is created purely for the casual crowd who don't check Smash-related websites and join Smash communities.

Also with the release of SmashBoards Friend Finder... http://smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=139952
NO ONE ON THIS FORUM IS GOING TO USE WITH ANYONE MODE

I really want my question to be answered, anyone?

Can you play FFA in With Friends with more than one player per Wii? Surely someone has tried this!

Yes, you can.

2v2 Matches with Friends (2 on one console, 2 on the other) is going to be a common occurrence

Yes, up to 3 players can play on the same Wii when online.

The whole world, although it's somewhat known that its better to play online within your local area since it decreases any lag or latency issues. In the official Dojo Update they made reference to the distance between Las Vegas and Los Angeles being Lag-Free. So I would try to play with people within that radius to have the best results.

-conflicting reports of 2 v 2 or free for all only. No word on whether or not, if there is 2 v 2, if you can choose whose team you're on.

Sakurai stated in a volume of Iwata Asks that you *can* do team battles in With Anyone. You are *randomly* paired up with a stranger.

Sakurai comments on this going (not exact wording) "Those [who are not so good] have the chance to be paired up with a stronger player, and can taste the thrill of victory."

Note: Iwata Asks interview took place post-development, so chances are whatever was said in it (ex. above) is most likely going to remain in the game.

hmm i expected more from the online brawl, but im sure these limits are subject to change

 

[Swil]

Sounds good to me. Considering Melee had no online, I have no complaints at all, and the friends matches will still offer up a good selection.

 

[Epsilon52]

i find it funny that they will put a computer player in if someone quits.....well never know...how will we know were playing real people....

nintendo

is this another gimmick
