I'm really very disappointed in the online features, and I'm not even talking about the lack of voice chat and/or text chat. Why can't we "join" a friend's match in session in order to be added to the next round? Why can't we invite friends to join a room? I've enjoyed the few matches that I've played already, but the lack of options have really left a bitter taste in my mouth. Online capabilities is the only area of gaming in which I feel Nintendo really has no clue what they're doing, and one of their largest titles shows it.[/QUOTE]
yeah, online is really a mess.
The notification messages are also unclear. There's "seeking" status--I can join people with that. There's "waiting" status-- If I try to join someone with that, then I get disconnected from WFC. Then I was waiting for a match and "TIME" kept scrolling across the screen...as if I'm supposed to know what that meant.
The worst part is hosting--who the heck on the SSBB team thought it would be a good idea to have a
time limit while waiting for people to join?

We can't message each other, we can't read minds, so limiting the time you can search for someone is a kick in the nuts.
I guess we'll just have to wait for the patch....or not.
sorry for the rant. Just very frustrating that such an awesome game has to have the most unfortunate online setup.
