Would you pay to make Wifi Better?

Cherry64 · Mar 7, 2009

That would be epic. Leaderboards showing the 50 best smashers online. then amybe Samus will get some respect from the brawl community
Lagless wi-fi also would make the matches more skill related. wonder if M2K would still be the top.

How would the leader boards go though? how many wins versus how many losses? or is it point wise? like for winning you get 2 points and losing you lose 1 point.
Or would it be number of kills or how many times you've been killed?

Ryoukii · Mar 7, 2009

Yeah i would defo pay. I cant play on wi-fi at all because of the lag

damezguy · Mar 9, 2009

yeah id pay for like a rankings system or something, that would be nice. also lag free would be cool.

Avion · Mar 11, 2009

Yes, I definitely would. Acutual messaging, voice chat, lobbies, match creation, trophies/achievements, less lag, usernames (one per console, works for all games), and of course NO FRIEND CODES. I would pay $50 for that. Sadly, Nintendo thinks everyone that plays Wii is either a child, a senior, or a pedophile

Foofshenheimer · Mar 14, 2009

i would pay w/e they asked me to have an xbox live or battle.net caliber online system. iwant2talk and b rankd

I agree,I would so pay for lagless wifi and a ranking system.

♪ Ha ha, nice to see this thread still alive. Better Wifi for the next Smash Bros. :D †

DemonFart · Mar 14, 2009

now if nintendo only listened to us....

Lol.

But seriously,better wifi would ****.

I think it would be KO's vs Falls at least in Basic Brawl. In Teams it could be wins vs losses because sometimes your KO's have no bearing on why the team was victorious... god I hate Bowser when he does that suicide craziness!

Zip. · Mar 14, 2009

Lagless wi-fi..sure id pay.. since i dont get as much offline practice as i want to for tournies, lagless wi-fi would be a treat..

Mr. Zain · Mar 15, 2009

If there was absolutely no lag whatsoever, of course I would pay. Who wouldn't?

same here. but if it were a ridiculous amount like how Blizzard makes you pay like 15$ for a month of WOW then no. it has to be less than 10$ if it ever happens

Hence the 1 time payment. Blizzard off of one person makes more then 50 bucks in 4 months.

Albino Ace · Mar 17, 2009

A one time payment, most certainly. Depends on how much to an extent, but realistically speaking I probably would. Especially to get rid of lag. (I swear that's what brought me down playing Brawl online a few hours earlier at my cousin's.)

Jaedrik · Mar 20, 2009

Hell yes, brother! I would definetly pay to see this, though it would probably not be 1-time payment. There are too many interesting avenues to extend this into, but I'll suffice to say it would definetly improve their sales, no matter what nintendo says. Maybe they wouldn't want to because it's supposed to be more family-oriented or whatever, and there could be some donkey butts online who would like to shout meaningless explatives into little kid's ears... oohh, that would be a problem...

Whatever :D

Olimarman · Mar 20, 2009

50 Bucks a year for flawless wifi? Why not.

☆ Oh gawd, if Blizzard helps with the online on Smash, then Smash Bros would be the best online game ever. I know they want a **** load of cash to do so, but it might be worth it if Smash is a bigger hit because of great online play. ☆

Haha not what I was saying but I like your input.
And 10Agrees. if blizzard helped on this then it'd be the greatest thing Ever

MRTW113 · Mar 20, 2009

If I can play lagless HRC on Wifi with someone living in the Soloman Islands, then sure.

This.

But i'm hoping for it to be really better like really really better you know.

But don't expect it that's all i have to say.

GHNeko · Mar 20, 2009

What are you talking about? I already do pay for Wifi.

All those broken controllers and sore throats. >:

Anop · Mar 20, 2009

i would pay too.I hate the lag it ruins the online game!

Exactly. The lag is the only reason I don't play Smash Online. If they could fix it through somehow... ah, but such things would never happen.

☆ Almost the same reason why I don't play a lot of online Brawl. I play on tourney's online or with friends that live too far to the point I don't feel like going over their house. But that's just it, I really do suck online and never won an online tourney with any of my characters because I can't do multi moves online at the same time. ☆

Heartz♥ · Mar 21, 2009

I think we could all agree that we would, only because of it being a "one-time" payment.

But then you also have to consider those whose connection is flawed regardless. Very few people are able to play Brawl wifi without lag (or atleast very little); we most likely never even encountered these people. So even if we pay that cost, we still have our own personal connection to work on.

Due to the fact that I lost over 9000 points n MKWii, then something else seems to be the problem. lol

We shouldn't have to pay for half decent Wi-Fi but I would.

i would. i think nintendo should make people pay with wii points

It was an exaggeration, silly. I'm saying that each time you are disconnected, you lose rating points. I was just trying to say that I've been DC'd ALOT on MKWii wifi. :laugh:

Lol, pretty funny idea. I agree just to give it more use. Anyway yeah I suppose I wouldn't mind myself. Truly I see nothing wrong with it, and am not sure how it would get ''better'' if we paid it's all in our connection. Well... New features would be nice...

Thunder Of Zeus · Mar 29, 2009

http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=155378 epic win.
yeah as stated before id definitely pay.

Cherry64 · Mar 29, 2009

Wow, thanks guys, this a good discussion we gots going on here.

@ Ricky: Ever played Mario Kart on Wi-Fi?
You have the same connection as on here, it's just better for Mario karrt, Only nintendo/God knows why.
if we Payed for it though I'm sure they'd boot up servers, Similar to Online MMORPG's (WoW).

wh1te5had0w · Mar 29, 2009

yes! I would pay

this should be a poll, so its easier to see who thinks what.

Anybody remember this?

To have built a game engine around the wifi we know is just... ugh. So much wasted potential, and for what?

I'm sad in the pants.

AndreVeloso · Mar 30, 2009

If everyone who wanted Wifi to be better chip in £1 (or $1 for USAers but there isn't much difference due to the economy) than we would definitely have enough money to give Nintendo Wifi an upgrade. I think Mario Kart Wii and Mario Charged Strikers had better Wifi modes.

Scinn · Mar 30, 2009

yeah i would pay like once not for every month though.
