Spending only 100 to play Smash is a pretty good deal overall. I know some people bought a Japanese 3DS to play Smash early. As for games, the Star Fox and OoT remakes are rad.
This one's not mine, however, just my campus' internet, and mine will be added later. Still, it sucks like hell, the connection drops a lot and it's blocked to every site known to mankind, so it's useless for smash :/ (surprisingly the desktop version of gaf was spared... The odd thing is that m.neogaf.com wasn't)
awwww yissss

Need to update Java and allow PingTest to use it.
I especially installed Java and it doesn;t work. Like per usual when I install Java for someting. I dunno, Java just hates me. Luckily you don't need it anymore.
But since I'm on a fiberglass connection I imagine I should be fine.
awwww yissss
Sweet Mother Teresa on the hood of a mercedes-benz...
Seriously, what the fuck. How much do you pay for that?
So tonight I'm finally going to be adding most everyone from the Google doc to my 3DS friends list in preparation for launch. Hope some of you have added me, can't wait to smash you guy's faces.
Also is the archived footage of the tournament featuring M2K and the like? If someone could link me that would rock.

I don't know where you live so I don't know how far that is.
The reason I'm asking is because 28ms ping is fine if the server's a long ways away from you.
awwww yissss
What makes it so great its that it's 99% faster than anyone in the US.

McDonalds connection confirmed!
me too
I mean, it's not like you guys can't get internet
But your internet isn't too good either
We'll just have to experience it for ourselves
I'm gonna guess that's a campus connection or from a company.
Where can I find this fabled google doc?

Distance doesn't really matter, ping is a standard time measurement regardless of how far the server is. Testing different servers that are different distances will give you different times.
You can expect your data to take different routes which can give you some interesting results though, like a further away server to the west versus a closer to the one to the east.
god dammit
He is the 1%

Re: Pingtest, I installed and allowed Java and that made my score an A. That's what the asterisk is for.

Tipped Off 10 Smash 4 matches, finals in the first link and other matches in the second.
Also Hbox mentions a charity tournament (Melee), and the finals of that were super fun, had a smile on my face the entire time.

Same here
I'm from Miami FL
I believe he said it's his university internet. But still dat speed.
It pretty much shuts down everything it doesn't need.
Every time I close the demo, it reboots the system. That's how much juice this game takes from the system. It's pushing it to its absolute limit.

Aww yess. Set for smash!
This is at the computer lab in my school, so I guess I'll be playing smash in the computer lab at my school
Dunno. It was available back then, but it's not there anymore :/ Must have sold out.
I'll shoot nintendo an email later and see what they say
Yeah, now that I have my 3DS back i need to add the rest of you.

Does your city have Google Fiber?

Whats ping do, I'm just looking at the big numbers on the left

The distance a packet has to travel to get to its destination is the main thing that affects ping, though. I'm just asking because 28ms ping is OK as long as he isn't like right next to the server.
The distance a user is from the server is not the distance a packet has to travel, of course. On our old ISP, ping to my city tended to be like 60ms because that ISP's routing was pure dog poo.
Yeah, games usually work fine for me too with an F+ connection.
Behold! The perils of Australian internet!
Holy shit at some of these speeds though.
Still better than my F+ bag of fuck, lol
I'm pretty sure ping (The lower the number the better) is the most important thing when it comes to gaming. Back when I played Left 4 Dead & Left 4 Dead 2, it would judge your connection by your ping.

Ping is what actually will determine your lag since it determins how much time it takes for the data you send to reach your opponent :3
Actual data transmitted is about 15KB/s iirc for SSB4, you could manage that in Up/Down speed with any mobile connection

So with 32 ping, is that really bad for smash? Or is it just noticeable at a high competitive level

And Ridley is the Nintendo version of the Joker.
Agreed, and it seems to reboot when I start Smash too, which led me to think it was booting a new firmware when starting the game.
It really doesnt matter, but I've found it interesting that the 3DS uses 4 (now perhaps 5) distinct firmwares (3DS, DSi, GBA, and System Settings).

Yep! For comparison, here's me pinging Washington, D.C., which is about 950 miles away:Ping is what actually will determine your lag since it determins how much time it takes for the data you send to reach your opponent :3

Uuuoof, not with that ping you won't.
IIRC that would be 2 frames of lag, still ok for casual play.

No, and this isn't even consumer internet. I'm a game design student at DigiPen and IT has been working hard to upgrade our internet.
I'm a slave to Comcast at home like the rest of us
