Why is it that character intros are laggy, but the rest of the fight may not?

I was battling on the With Anyone mode, and it was 4 player. Alright, so I choose Luigi, others chose Luigi, Luigi, and Toon Link...we were having fun. But then on the Castle Seige level the intros came in about 1 fps, then the rest of the battle was lag-free! Why is it like this?

I get this too, sometimes. I think it's either something about the Wiis having to synchronise with each other before battling, or simply it's just taxing on the connections. Best explanation I can give.

Oh? Luigi, Luigi, Luigi and Toon Link? I was in that match!
