I've read this on Matt's Blog (http://blogs.ign.com/matt-ign) is it true? Has anyone tried to play online with the US and JPN versions using friend codes?
Friend codes or random matches, it doesn't matter. The only thing is you can't play random matches vs other regions if you are too far away because of lag.

YES! Thank you sweet Jesus! I was afraid that with Mario Strikers, Metroid Prime 3 and Endless Ocean there as a bad precedent that Nintendo would stick with region locking all of their online Wii games!
Edit Oh wait I forgot, Mario Kart Wii lets you choose between regional and worldwide online play so it was just me being paranoid after all!

That's the thing I am suffering right now. I bought a Japanese version and wanting to do online random battles. However I was never successful in doing so. I always assumed that it's because they don't pair people together if there's too much lag, and obviously the game isn't out in Australia yet so I am pretty much stuck with playing friends online at the moment...
2. I'm pretty sure so far that online play is region locked despite Nintendo's original promises. I haven't connected with anybody from Japan and, in fact, have only played against U.S. residents.
Wait, how would he know he was connecting to someone from Japan in a random match anyway? It doesn't give your name and certainly not region in random matches.
Why would Nintendo decided to region block SSBB just for Australia? I know that NOAU hates Australians but still, it's extra effort for them to do and I would imagine that they would want to put the least amount of effort in as possible!

But because this form of communication is greatly affected by the distance between you and your opponent, your brawls may not run smoothly if youre really far apartlike, for instance, if youre connecting between Japan and America.
