Smash only sends button presses to each player, and before it progresses the match, it has to make sure everyone has received the inputs to avoid desync (and if anyone didn't receive it at all, it sometimes just gets skipped, which explains dropped inputs). Doing it this way means it uses a lot less data, which is good since in Wii and 8, you can have 12 people in the same race. It only sends the exact location if your console shows someone too far away from where they really are.

All it really sends is your general location, the angle you're facing, and what you're doing (and in the case of Mario Kart Wii, it even did this one player at a time). If anyone knows what could be done to restore my ability to play online, I would greatly appreciate some info.Ĭlick to expand.Mario Kart, as explained earlier, doesn't use precise locations while playing. I have seen countless people and have friends who even play online with mods running and have no lag, so I don't know what I could have to cause this issue. I used to have lagless matches on for Glory consistently, but now the game can only be played locally whether the mods are loaded or not. I tried reinstalling the latest patch for Sm4sh and it didn't fix the problem. I have confirmed that the problem is not with my internet connection or my Wii U in general because Mario Kart 8 (which is much more graphically intensive than Sm4sh and has 12 players connected at a time as opposed to 2-4) runs perfectly to this day. When I first started using the mods, the lag online caused the game to constantly freeze for extended periods of time, and while it appears to have improved since then the game is still unplayable over the internet. The only mods I have installed are custom skins for characters and GUIs to go with them, as well as one voice pack. So I recently decided to get mods for Smash 4, and even made quite a few myself, but ever since loading them I find it impossible to play online (with friends or For Glory) due to lag.
