Super Smash Bros. Brawl - Gen. Discussion & Info

What kind of Routers are you guys using?

I have trouble connecting to some games, and some people are unplayable.

I guess im gonna get that Wii Lan Adapter, in hopes that lag can be minimized.
 
Finally got a bunch of WFC matches going with random d00ds. It's kind of hard to do anything requiring good timing since there is a small amount of lag. One guy just kept spamming Charizard fire which seems to do a ton of damage. I assume there is some fast way to get out of it, but I tried hammering on buttons and my guy would just hang out getting toasted in mid air.

It was ok. I am still not sure I see what the big deal is about this game. Maybe there really wasn't anything better to do with a Gamecube?
 
[quote name='Strell']We could maybe try right now. My router is being kind of stupid. Even after I set a static IP for my system, the router changes it to "whatever" is next in the DHCP line. And that fucks everything up because the static is under DMZ, which appears to be the only way to get games to run.

If you're up for it, I'll try.[/quote]

You can't setup a static IP and still use DHCP because DHCP ip's are dynamic or like always changing. As far as the DMZ concern u can put the DMZ on a particular ip address like 192.168.1.2 and just make sure that u only have one device on (the wii) and it should stay for the wii. Also make sure your lease time on the ip's are longer I put mines on forever or like a year or something like that. I'm using this for my router:

Oh and strell add me t ur ssbb ill add u too. Mr Beef do I have u added?
 
I haven't played it online yet. I finally got the ds set up,but when I try to set up the wii it gives a error code. Mainly the one about the wii not finding the wi-fi adapter. I'll try it again someday.

You can if you set the Wii outside the DHCP range, which I've done. Don't know why it keeps changing it.
 
Christ you make a good argument for the "no items/Final Destination only" crowd.

Almost every Smash Ball, stars, lightning bolts, large mushrooms....son of a bitch. And I even like items on.

That's not saying you're not working to get them, with the one exception of Snake getting a Smash, even though I was RIGHT THERE on top of the stupid thing and wailing on it.

Thank god the lag wasn't like it was the other night, which was like the opening scene of Office Space with the old guy in the walker going faster than the traffic.

And the wii isnt setup for DHCP right? If not that is weird

PM me ur ssbb code
 
That's stupid. The items are there for a reason.
Good games Beef & Walrus!!

I'm kinda pissed because there was like a second and 1/2 delay. :headache: Not enough to notice, but enough to see that I hit a certain move and it comes up AFTER I wanted it to bed one.

I couldn't get games to run by connecting to my router under normal circumstances, so I decided to set up a static. Found a guide here on CAG, actually, to do the same thing for a 360 with my router. So I set up a static beyond the DHCP range and then put DMZ on it to bypass any firewall settings.

That worked.

The other night, however, I couldn't get any games to run. So I went into my router's config and checked the DHCP list - showed the Wii has connected, but instead of 192.168.2.101 (static), it was a 5.

However, then I started seeing lots of posts on here that the Friends Code network was down, meaning no one could get any games to run.

That was two nights ago. But I just tried it right now and everything ran quite smoothly. In fact, when I played Beef a few days ago, the lag was horrendous. But just now, we had very smooth games.

So my thinking now might be that the router itself is actually working with the static, and that I jumped the gun in thinking there was something wrong with my setup. Don't know why it said it was 5 the other night, but maybe it doesn't matter.

(For the record, this router is terrible in releasing the DHCP list of who is connected at what IP address. I go in there and request the list and it doesn't load 99% of the time. Which is crap, but oh well. So long as I can Brawl online, I don't really care.)

Next step is to get my 360 running next to it and seeing if I can go the extra mile and get voice chat to work. That's going to be quite amusing.

No need to PM my code - it's 1032-0903-4842. Everyday I've got another 10 codes or so to add, which I'm going to do right now, so I'll add you also.
 
[quote name='lilboo']Just so I know, who here changes the rules to no items when they play?
Just curious. I'm talking about in Wifi matches[/quote]

Whenever i create a room i always turn them on on low. I like items:D
 
[quote name='MarioColbert']
Doesn't anyone out there think that Brawl is "just allright?"[/quote]Sure. I am having fun with it, but it's not the greatest game ever.

kewl ill add u to my list of people i gotta add tonite I got about 10 of them so far. I wish I could have multiple Ip's for the DMZ I wonder if I can get like custom firmware for my belkin.

That really depends on the router/firmware you are using. For my WRT54G running Thibor, I have a static DHCP page which allows me to tie any particular MAC address to any IP address within the DHCP range. It works especially great for DS/Wii wi-fi connectivity.

[quote name='insertcleverthing']This game feels exactly like Melee. I mean, exactly.[/quote]

Eh... It feels very different from Melee to me, the speed itself is certainly slower and feels quite a bit more "floaty" than Melee did, not to mention that a lot of the mechanics and techniques changed as well.
 
[quote name='insertcleverthing']This game feels exactly like Melee. I mean, exactly.[/quote]

I hope that's sarcasm, there's nothing further than it. I hate the physics and new weight's of the characters.
 
Is the best argument some of you people can think up "it's not Melee" ?

I mean seriously. I ate an apple today and complained it wasn't a grapefruit.

Whats a good place for custom firmware ? I think i have a WRT54G sitting around

Oh there are certainly changes in that regard as well as generally deeper options, unlocks, modes, etc. BUT what I was getting at is that the game doesn't really do anything remotely different from Melee. Like...at all. For me, the game seriously feels like an EA Madden-esque upgrade with some cheesey adventure mode tacked on. I suppose you could say I'm a bit underwhelmed.

That's just my opnion at least.
 
[quote name='decrot']eliter1 using the same char. and the same cheap moves
bah.[/quote]

HAHA, Ok, ill change char but ike only has limited moves
 
[quote name='insertcleverthing'] EA Madden-esque upgrade [/QUOTE]

Oh come on. The last one came out....what, 7 years ago?

You couldn't have picked a worse way to describe the game.
