When I first got this game about two years ago, I remember playing online Wi-Fi every now and then when I had nobody else to play with. I had a lot of fun (never really minded the lag, actually), and it was really cool because I could play with people whenever I wanted to. Eventually, once that awesome feeling wore off, I only played the game when I had others to play with due to a combination of losing interest, and just being more fun playing with other people in the same room.
The other day, though, I suddenly felt like playing online multi-player again when there was nobody else, so I selected the largely unused Wi-Fi option from the main menu. The first few games I played were fun, exactly what it was like before, playing with three random people who constantly dropped in and out of the game. Eventually, we got someone with such a bad connection that the game ended, so I just went right back to Basic Brawl hoping to do it some more.
However, I ended up connecting to three people at exactly the same second, and this is where the bullcrap started. I fought against Lucas, some guy who kept changing, and a blue Kirby over and over, who would always just stand around in corners until I approached them. When I did, whoever was closest would start attacking me, while the other two would just stand around or hit me from a distance. The first few games, it seemed like everybody was kind of fighting each other (albeit very poorly), but eventually it came down to me being the only one that was being hit on purpose. It just wasn't fun, so I quit and decided to do some team battles.
Team battle was the same as always, and I was happy to see that. Got serious players, obviously strangers, and had a lot of fun fighting. So this morning, I decided to try some basic Brawl again, and out of the two times I tried it, the same thing happened with three people just standing around and attacking me! I know it's not some crazy conspiracy against me, either, because I randomly spectated a match and saw the same BS happening to somebody else.
What is the deal with this? Do people actually have fun connecting to Basic Brawl at the exact same time just so they can harass the fourth sap that joins? I understand trolling and all, but you're not gonna get any reactions considering how confidential it all is, so it really seems like a waste of time if you're not going to just play and have fun. Please tell me I'm not the only one who is noticing/is disappointed by this.

I wouldn't mind just dropping out of each one if 90% of the games weren't like that.
