Yea im really not getting my hopes to high about online brawl. The service is free? When was the last time something free was exeptional? There will be lag, there will be glitchs, your search system to find a game will be terrible because god forbid you could talk to someone online. This is how i see it. Like the ds online. Who actually played that? Mario kart for example. To find a random matchup you searched. The search would take at least 5 minutes and then people would drop or get disconnected. And there was unbelievable lag. Opponents carts would jump around like crazy. Now im sure nintendo wont let that happen for wii. They just cant. What i want from them is an online system just like warcraft 3. That was absolutly perfect. You have a random search button that didn't take long at all. You could search 1v1, 2v2, ffa. (and 3v3 and 4v4 but not for brawl). Or if you wanted you could do Arranged teams. Find a parter you like to play with and then you two are paired up agianst a random team. Also the channels they had. Multiple lobbyies, clans to join. I would die and go to heaven if Brawls online worked like that.
