Anyone noticed the lag has been dying down recently? I have green or light blue bubbles against 90% of my friends list now, and even people who are pretty far down the continent seem to lag very lightly.

Also Man-o-War's Toon Link pisses me off so much, he's so small that Ganon can't even hit him efficiently :(

Man, you need to stop doing Sonic's spin move all the time, it's the most laggy online scrub bullshit ever, my boyfriend and Wak were laughing their asses off next to me watching you play. It was funny as hell when I was playing Snake too because I was one the phone and had to play with one hand actually.

Otherwise, GGs everyone. Especially M-o-W who I got a bunch of decent 1-on-1s with.
I'm sorry - I didn't realize that performing a certain move caused lag.  :sweat:

The problem I have though is I can't really stop doing Sonic's spin move since three of his specials are his spin move... I mean, isn't the point to Sonic to be very fast and use his specials as much as often (given that his neutrals are pretty weak)? Do other people have a problem with me? I try not to reuse the same moves all the time, but with Sonic, 3 out of his 4 specials look almost identical, and I'm not just going to stop using them because one person has a problem with them. Besides, I'd love to be able to attack straight up head-on, but with Sonic being so weak that's just not an option. IMO, his only play style is to be fast, and attack with spins that lead into aerials..

I can see people banning certain exploits and stages, and items as well, but to ban certain simple moves? That's just taking it too hard IMO. Over-reliance on a certain move should allow you to be able to counter it pretty easily since a noticeable pattern emerges, so I don't see the reason for complaining. If it's the lag factor then I am truly sorry because I had no idea - every match that I played with you has been lag-free for me.  :hmm:

Don't really worry about it Mat, just do whatever you can do to win, that's all that matters. What Raziel is (probably) refering to, is the fact that online, with lag (assuming he had some), you're generally better off doing more riskier moves than you are offline, since it becomes harder and harder to react correctly to them, making the riskier (and usually, better) moves safer. I'm sure in even minor lag fighting a super fast char spinning all over the place is probably annoying, and when Raziel gets annoyed he's gonna let you know it.

You learn to just not let it bother you too much tho.

idk sonic's d-air is pretty effective if used right, but it has mondo recovery time.  can you l-cancel that shit?  i never really understood how l-canceling works (probably because I never bother looking into anything since I don't play often enough)

Yeah, I get worked up pretty easily because of lag since it tends to fuck me up so much. Sorry if I came across as harsh, that wasn't my intention.

What I meant to say was what DN explained: the spinning move is pretty unsafe offline and is very punishable by someone with a little experience, but it "behaves" differently online because of lag and other factors. Sonic relies on them to get in, but he actually has decent priority on his normals (except his divekick, which is awful) and can lock down a huge portion of the cast through his superior rushdown and mixups. Since he has the fastest running speed and shorthops in the game, he can just mess with his opponents' minds and fuck them up hard.

Also no I didn't mean to "ban" shit (hell, I'd be the last guy to want to ban anything that's in the game and isn't completely random (not items/stages exploding)). It's just really annoying when you know you're decent and yet you keep getting hit by random stuff because the lag doesn't let you react to the things coming at an appropriate speed.

GGs to everyone I played today, even tho I hate items and 3/4-men melees. And Hyrule Castle.

I need to work on my online timing, shield rollers screw me up so much because I'm used to another kind of mindset so I just get fucked with shit I wouldn't expect :(

If you'll be on later tonight or tomorrow Raz I'd like to get some 1v1s with you (with or without items).  I'm trying to get good with Diddy as my main, and I haven't played any good 1v1s with him yet.  This goes out to pretty much anyone who will be on actually.

Ok that's the 2nd reference made to the Hyrule level misnaming it as the Castle. There's a small word and a very large word. One says Hyrule. And the other says "Temple." It's temple. Repremandation recanted if it's different in another version.

I noticed something: Meta Knight isn't a "white weenie," as MTGers would see him as. He's got three
extremely useful moves: Down+B - Shreds people up. Seriously. Even if Mario capes it it still just keeps coming. Neutral Air A - sends people flying more easily than you'd realize. And my favorite move - the slash that comes with his Up+B. It's very powerful on the ground, but in the aerial, it makes him a freaking beast. I play with about 4 other people, and my win:lose ratio with Meta Knight since I've discovered his killswitches is 9:1, and the 1 was a SSD that killed me with a falling bom-omb.

::Praises Meta Knight some more :: :P

Got this game on launch but didn't play intensively until few days ago. This game lives up to most of the hype. It's a total blast with 4 players!! Too bad the online experience isn't fully loaded with headsets, rankings, etc. Or am I missing something?

Also what's this "freeloader" thing everyone's been mentioning?

Wish I could join the tournament.. Sucks it's Sunday - the day I work for the entire fricking day.
