If this has taught me anything, its that I suck at Nintendo games online. Man, did I get my ass handed to me in Smash Bros and Mario Kart DS.
I came in 4th place every time in 'real matches' for SBB. The only time I came in 3rd/2nd/1st was in a room where 1 player was AFK (or alseep I'd guess), another player only focused on taunting, and the last player seemed to not care much to play well. So yeah I came in 1st against that group. Heh.
I had two laugh out loud moments though, the first one was when I came in last place, even when someone was AFK! Yes, I did worse than a person who was likely asleep on the couch. Now that's pathetic. The other time was on Shadow Moses stage, there was a sudden death between 3 people, I knocked the first person out, and when it was one-on-one, I taunted my last opponent, and then accidentally walked off the stage AND LOST! D'oh! I felt like such a dummy, but it provided a good laugh so I'm okay with that.
I checked for hours over the past couple days to play Sonic Colors DS online, only found one other person, played 8 matches, it was fun, I should have played that game sooner, oh well.
Eventually I'll get a Wii U and get my ass handed to me in more Nintendo games, until then, I can play some 3DS online.
The one silver lining in all this, is that I (and probably most everyone here) never have to set up a WEP key again on our routers after this. NO MORE WEP FOREVER! Thats always been a hurdle for many people getting their DS online. What a pain, glad to see WEP gone for good (I hope!).
