I go days and never have as laggy game. Either all of your guys Wi-Fi/internet/whatever sucks, or mine rocks. My problem is my waiting times for games. I wait 15 minutes if im lucky.

I don't find lag a major problem if it doesn't interfere with the game.
But normally people who do complain find it a serious issue, and more than likely, they aren't playing for fun.

It's just that some us don't find many offline people to Brawl with and when we do find that great someone on your level or higher you can't perform what you might deem your best.

Some are a bit too prideful to admit full defeat so they john about the lag.

They just started playing Wi-Fi.

People need to learn the difference between the garunteed wifi lag, and unplayable lag.

The first of the 2 is not a good reason to complain.

the way I can only see you can complain if you main Ness/Lucas and the lag glitches the match for just one second while you are trying to recover with PKT and it messes up your timing then that is legitamite.

However you get used to it after a while. I tend to not have lag at all some matches but with some people it isn't fun ;_;

Though some people seem to forget, lag effects both of the players and when someone calls lag johns after they lost and say "well I had it, idk if you did" that is just a bunch of phooie.

That's about all I hate is waiting for so long, where you have COD that connects you in less than 5 seconds. I'll always be inputting video 2 back to hdmi to watch tv just to occupy myslef while waiting.
