So the game itself isn't the source of the lag?

Between the capture card setup and interference I wouldn't take this as accurate to the user experience.

 

[Revven]

2nd round I'm coming back with DK just watch!

And yeah the lag has been bad. Lots interference in here though. DS's and phones up the wazoo. Not to mention the stations have been acting up all morning.

Quoting so more people see -- RomanceDawn is a player in the tournament, too.

Doesn't seem like it since we have had other people talk about how they experience no lag when they played on the show floor.

 

[Golnei]

...Hopefully it's just wireless interference + their shitty connection + the capture card...

 

[Kouichi]

Yeah it's best to just jot this down as interference given everyone's postive impressions. I'm sure even that problem will be fixed by launch.

 

[Diprosalic]

man this lag best be fixed by launch or im skipping the 3DS version and going straight to WiiU

nobody experienced lag like this so far, plenty have played it. must be signal interference.

 

[Liha]

The game looks great but the lags are unacceptable.

 

[Kouriozan]

They are reading NeoGAF and was like "everyone talk about the lag, do something!!"

"We're taking a short break"

 

[georly]

What a terrible decision.

You can likely do this in the final game

Put the percentage on top of people's heads, instead of names.

 

[Freezie KO]

Not ready for prime time.

 

[Grakl]

Played the 3DS version at Best Buy and it ran silky smooth. This is odd.

 

[Chaos17]

Why would they be connected to the internet for a lan event? That makes no sense.

I'm talking about the stream.

 

[Effect]

According to the Twitch stream (which, not necessarily the most reliable source) the lag is being amplified in the stream by the capture card.

This is what I was thinking might be the problem. There wasn't an issue with the Wii U version. I hadn't heard of any issues from those that played the 3DS version. The footage could just be being passed through to many things.

 

[Kyzer]

pretty sure that was the game lagging...happened a lot at best buy

 

[Pappasman]

How would a cap card and "interference" cause the game to lag? seems to me like its just the build/game not being up to par.

 

[Spinluck]

Just show my boy already.

 

[Exotoro]

turn off your cellphones

 

[RomanceDawn]

Hahaha, SPIRIT BOMB NOW!

I'm curious what RomanceDawn look like. Hmm

I have a special picture for you guys while I'm waiting for the losers bracket.

 

[sd28821]

No problems If any of you missed it:

how do you use this thing

 

[Mr. Smiley]

Played the 3DS version at Best Buy and it ran silky smooth. This is odd.

which is it gaf godammit

 

[Lunar15]

To be fair, the Wii U version crashed several times at E3. These are just early builds.

 

[vinnygambini]

They are reading NeoGAF and was like "everyone talk about the lag, do something!!"

"We're taking a short break"

I'm positive that they are

Hello NOA Treehouse!

 

[Spinluck]

Played the 3DS version at Best Buy and it ran silky smooth. This is odd.

Ditto, you guys have nothing to worry about.

 

[Starfish Hero]

Well, at least nobody's complaining about the lack of an eShop demo anymore ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

 

[georly]

which is it gaf godammit

Both. I assume if you play solo, you don't get the lag, but if you play wirelessly, any wireless interference can cause lag.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Is there a Wii U tournament too?

 

[Kouichi]

Pikachu here to play.

 

[Diprosalic]

Is there a Wii U tournament too?

no.

 

[Letterbomb]

I have a special picture for you guys while I'm waiting for the losers bracket.

Wait you already played and lost?? Who were you? Which game?

 

[Kouriozan]

If Pikachu don't pick Pikachu ....

 

[SuperSah]

Ditto, you guys have nothing to worry about.

Third.

 

[rekameohs]

Remember how badly interference affected Skyward Sword at E3?

 

[Moonlight]

The performance was pretty bad, man. Hope it was just wireless lag or something. Although even then it wouldn't be a good sign. :lol

 

[Ricky 7]

Should have just done a Wii U tournament but to be fair Nintendo probably didn't expect this random interference. It's Skyward Sword all over again.

 

[imae]

I think people are getting a bit too worked up about the lag here.
Remember, they are surrounded by a room full of people, many of them with mobile devices. Interference is a thing. I'm sure it'll be fine playing the final version under normal conditions.

When it's not lagging it looks great though, impressive for a 3DS title.

 

[Kyzer]

yeah idk i saw it happen multiple times including during my match at best buy. never for that long but it was stuttering the same exact way

 

[friskykillface]

which is it gaf godammit

Best buy was solo play only

This is 4 people playing in a match

 

[SmithnCo]

Raise your Pikachus

 

[Diprosalic]

Both. I assume if you play solo, you don't get the lag, but if you play wirelessly, any wireless interference can cause lag.

i played some 4P FFA and never had any lag. was in a more quite place tho.

 

[IntelliHeath]

How would a cap card and "interference" cause the game to lag? seems to me like its just the build/game not being up to par.

Well, local plays are shared over the wireless signals, so if you have a lot of interference from phones, etc then it would botch up the wireless game plays between 4 3DS.

 

[DaBoss]

We need link cables again.

 

[Tan]

3 mics. Professional stream go.

We need link cables again.

haha

 

[kuroneko0509]

finally 3 mics for the commentators

 

[greycolumbus]

3 mics! Sort of...

 

[redhairedking]

3 mics but the volume still sucks

 

[Diprosalic]

well 2 mics.

 

[ColossalLazy]

3 mics \o/

 

[Praise the Lorde]

Anyone know if there are any well known pro smashers in this tourney?

 

[Exotoro]

finally 3 mics for the commentators

and one of them doesn't work

 

[bon]

oh no the right guy's mic isn't working
