There really isn't much of a difference so long as every player's internet is fast and stable/they're not playing Japan from America. Brawl's online forces a 2, 3, or 4 frame input delay though. It should only take a game or two to adjust.

Lag is also inconsistent so you might experience them slow down during your play. Nintendo has some recommended things you can do to help keep your connection stable.

But befire you do that, try playing online first with what you have. If you don't really experience alot of lag you should be alright

Online is a great way to get better if you have no one to play with offline. You get to learn the gist of how each character plays, practice on noticing habits that people have, and learn your strengths and weaknesses as well. While this is all good, I should reaaally tell you to play a few friendlies BEFORE the serious matches in a tourny starts. You could also consider on doing a few offline matches a day before the tournament, even if it IS with CPU's. It's all for just getting used to the lag free zone. After playing online for so long when you go back to offline it's like WHOA it's faster! You'll be more surprised that you are actually surprised! (Duh, there is no lag offline! Silly me! Haha) Trust me, you don't want to go into a serious offline match and just be annoyed by trying to buffer something only have it either not come out or do something you didn't want to do. After my first two tourny's this is what I started to do and I've seen some good improvements on my transition.


My bad I read it wrong... it was Offline to ONline...

Hah, well in that case... if people have mediocre to great connection you'll just be wanting to buffer things a little early but it'll be harder to punish. That's what gets the most annoying online. Overall though, online get some time of getting used to...
