I LOVE how you are applying for Debater status, when you don't even ATTEMPT to make a valid point for your argument.. Well at least we can agree on Ness eh?

The thing about wolf is his Fsmash is safe on block because of the lag, making him substantially better.

I think marth is affected most by lag. His smashes lag enough to still be punished, and it's really hard to space online.

IC's are affected a lot too.

MK is hurt quite a bit in lag if you try to play him in a non-spammy and proper manner, but there are definitely characters that are hurt more than non-spammy MK's in lag.


Oh, and characters that spam projectiles are REALLY fun to fight on Wi-Fi with MK/anyone else.

IMO, Sonic is ruined most by lag. He's so fast so all his attacks rely heavily on timing your hits correctly, and with his low KO power, I think it hurts him a lot.

Other than that, it's gotta be the IC's, since they rely on chain-grabs.

Ness's thunder sure, but his jumps are what really hurts the most, when you accidently use a second jump due to unresponsive game play. After the jump, you have nothing to rely on besides the PKT. Its a horrible set up with almost no way out, and you have to WATCH as it all goes down.

Ness and Lucas have it bad, but at least Lucas has his tether recovery.

I always manage to kill myself during lag.

In theory, a Character who's Attacks are fast but weak. These Attacks are based around the fact that they are quick to execute, take that away and they lose effectiveness.

So Metaknite, ROB and G&W.
Rob and Game and watch don't have weak attacks...

Metaknight. What makes him so good is that his attacks are so fast. Lag ****s that up. Lag also ****s with his spacing too. Yeah.

I agree wholeheartedly. I actually have an online friend who thought MK wasnt that broken. He finally played a good MK offline and now he understands why people call him broken.

I don't think Wario is the most affected, but it definitely makes a lot of his matchups that are 50-50 or 60-40 a lot more difficult.

For example, Wario can go toe to toe with Snake (50-50) but the tilts are even more godly when lag causes problems with autocancelling aerials to start combos.

But Wolf is also safe with smash spamming, but even easier to gimp.
Falco and ICs are pretty screwed too.

I struggle most with making Marth work in lag. His side B combo is hard to get past 2 sometimes and throwing an up-B in it will usually make me use his 3rd jump :mad:

Ness. Recovery is the most important aspect of the game, and when ness cant stick that pk thunder in his butt, hes useless.

Wolf, diddy,ness, ICs, and marth

Wolf and Marth can't space in space or punish when needed.

Diddy loses a lot of momentum in lag so no fun with bananas

Ice Climbers in lag make it even harder to chain grab

Ness has a hard time recovering as well as spacing. Lucas no so much thanks to snake z-air tether.
