I screwed around with my router settings last night and got the Wi-Fi working with three friends and minimal lag. Lack of voice chat or not, that was fun as hell.

And might I say that the Mario Bros. Arcade Brawl stage is the greatest Smash stage ever. It plays just like the real thing.

I found this on GameFaqs to help with the online. I suggest everyone tries it out and hope we can shave some lag off.

Quote:
Below is a walkthrough for creating a static IP address fo your Wii, and forwarding the ports (this sets your Wii to NAT 2, which is ideal).

PORT FORWARDING:

Open your PC's web browser and enter http://192.168.1.1 (linksys) ~OR~ http://192.168.2.1 (belkin) in the address bar. Enter your name/pass for your router. Default is usually blank or admin/admin (this varies by brand). You will now see your router's config page! Linksys, go to advanced, then forwarding. Belkin, go to firewall, then virtual servers.

In the boxes, open the following ports:

TCP:
Allow traffic to all destinations on ports: 28910, 29900, 29901, 29920, 80, and 443

UDP:
Allow all traffic to all destinations. (Necessary for peer-to-peer connections and game play).

Now, you need to create a static IP.

STATIC IP:

Access your router's settings and find the available range of IP addresses. (This is typically found within the DHCP information.)

When you find this information, select one of the available IP addresses and enter this, along with the Subnet and Gateway addresses, through the manual settings on the Wii (how to).

If you can't find the range of IP Addresses in the router settings, you can usually view them through your computer's IP configuration settings (see "View Your IP Configuration Settings" section below). Add "10" to the number in the last slot and enter the IP address in the manual settings of the Wii.

You will then need to enter the DNS server information of your computer into the Wii as well. To do this you will need to determine your IP configuration settings (see "View Your IP Configuration Settings" section below). This will give you the basic information for all network devices installed on the PC. Included in this will be the DNS Servers information you will need to enter through the manual settings on the Wii. If only a primary DNS is listed, use that number in both the primary and secondary slots of the Wii's system settings.
Restart the Wii.

To View Your IP Configuration Settings:

Click the "Start" button in the lower left-hand corner of your computer.
Click "Run."
Type "cmd" into the box and press Enter.
Type "IPCONFIG/ALL" and press Enter.

CONGRATULATIONS!

Your Wii is now set to NAT 2!

I just played some online with a buddy of mine and we had no lag whatsoever. Weird that you guys are having troubles.

My Friend Code is 1805-1922-2874, by the way.

You're in cheap drugs. That stage does have a great NES medley, though.

Mine took a suicide trip two weeks before Brawl came out. I had to spend $80 to import another one because fu*king Nintendo saw fit to discontinue the wireless controller, and keep the sh*tty corded one. Why? For rumble: a feature I turn off every chance I get. Nintendo thinks rumble is more important than wireless. I'd say how does that line of thinking make sense? But then again, we're talking about a company whose definition of "wireless" is a SNES controller tethered to a brick.

Do you ever stop complaining? Is there an off switch that we've all neglected for the past 5 years?

I just wanted to see if I'm the only person in the world who prefers the wiimote and nunchuck controller to both the wii classic and gamecube controller.

I'm sure someone else uses that combo. I'm just so used to the Wavebird controller from Melee, I don't really want to try anything else.

I'm playing with Snake in Smahsville right now, watchin' K.K. Slider perform while blowing people, and I literally just now realized that they took out the Parasol. I loved that thing!

Yeah...

Fair warning though. I borrow my internet, so lag in my matches could be a factor. I might have to crack into my neighbors new router and correct their settings again.

See? Smash Bros. brings people back from the grave. Consider you added.

BTW, am I the only one who thinks the final boss at the end of SSE is the most goddamn unfair, impossible, and all-around cheap boss fight ever?

Every one of his moves is basically a one-hit kill. Especially that red ring attack. Reminds me of the 360. It just laughs in your face.

Yeah, almost every one of them is a 1 hit KO, luckily you can dodge all of them pretty easily, with the exception of the ring move. That's just unavoidable and still a 1 hit KO. But what else do you expect from a broken pile of sh*t like SSE?

Sidestepping is your friend. I've dodged all three red rings in a row a couple times. It is difficult, though.
