North American internet works just fine it seems

Published by Michael at 5:30 pm

An excerpt from an article written by Matt Casamassina quells rampant speculation and worry of lag plagued online play in the highly anticipated Super Smash Bros. Brawl:

Well, we wasted no time putting Nintendo’s claims to the test. Shortly after we received our import copies of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, we held a few contests between our San Francisco and Los Angeles locations. Bear in mind a couple of notable differences from Nintendo’s own tests. First, our offices are a little farther apart – nearly 500 miles, to be exact. And we lowly Americans don’t have the benefit of one of the world’s fastest Internet backbones, as Japan does. Still, we’re very happy to report that our two-on-two experience perfectly mimicked Nintendo’s own – in other words, one-hundred percent lag free and two-hundred percent awesome.

San Francisco and Los Angeles obviously can’t compare to a Florida and Vancouver test, but it’s good news all the same.
