Smash Apprentice
I've been getting into SSBM netplay but my lag has varied greatly so far. The game runs at a smooth 60fps outside of netplay (i7 930 and Radeon HD5850), and I've only been playing with people with around 30ms ping (pad buffer 2 or 3). Some games have been smooth, but others have had lag spikes, and I'm trying to understand why.
1) if my PC is lagging due to processing on my end, does this affect my opponent in any way?
2) does it matter who hosts?
3) if the pad buffer is too low, would that cause stuttering? This was my first suspect, but I tried changing the buffer to 3 for a 30ms game and the spikes kept happening.
