WiFi's Impact on Stages

[satowolf]

So what are your best stages for wifi? Your worst? What impact do you think they have with the game during lag?

For me my worst stage is PS1. I hate playing that stage over wifi since during the stage transitions it tends to lag the game bad. It really depends on how good the connection is, but if the lag spikes hit the stage it can be a huge distraction. Especially when you have an opponent that attacks whether or not the lag is horrible or not.


(I don't know if there's a topic on this already or if it belongs in stage discussions. So for the mods out there, you can do what you want with this thread)

I don't like PS1 on wifi either... I don't like the stage in the first place, and the ledges make it very easy to SD in wifi.

I haven't really noticed a difference in lag between stages. My connection is usually pretty good with most people.

FD. I hate it online and offline. Not just because of a slight lag (on a good connection), but because it severely damages the properties of competition. It allows the free, unrestrained use of CGs, projectile camping, and it's quite easy to KO off the sides with strong moves. SV and BF are typically my favorite. They may force an easy advantage for people like Marth, but it's generally a easy stage to traverse, because the platforms allow you to avoid attacks easier, and punish shields above you if you have an attack that's good enough to force defenestration. Jab locks also get an easier setup, since it's somewhat difficult to tech on WiFi.

Frigate Orpheon. Now that one sucks on lag especially when the stage turns upside down.

Smashville is my all around fave. I like Frigate and Delphino. PS1 is also one of my favorite stages, online or off. uMad? >=] PS2 is slowly getting in my fave list.

Anyway the transformations don't cause lag at all. A stage like Lylat does cause lag because the Wii has to actually load the background images.

iMad brah.
Yeah I forgot about Lylat. The game also has to load the dialogue between the star fox characters.

I don't really dislike any stages on Wifi, but that one lagspike on FD can be deadly. PS1 too.

Lylat has my favorite music of all the legal stages, so I don't really mind the edges being dangerous there too.

 

[global-wolf]

Ah, forgot about Lylat. I hate the ledges there too.

 

[Sephy95]

I'll make Lylat a stage to try on wifi. Honestly I barely go on it at all.

Lylat is like a floating Battlefield...except it tips. The stage isn't bad and you'll eventually get used to the ledges. As an offline wolf mainer, if you know how to scar...don't try it on this stage.

Now...FD on the other hand...
