    I believe the Brawl server is located in the EST Zone, along with most of the player base. I know a few players who live far from the EST Zone. @Glock_Fanatic - Alaska, @JokerDoflamingo - China, @SoCool21 - UK, @Lord_Roke - Germany.
    What I want to know is, how do you deal with the slow connection speed?

    Actually, I think Brawl's servers are based out of the West Coast or Central zones.

    I'm in the 110s most often.

    Either way, I just deal with it. I only have issues when I have more than one device on the connection, as my bandwidth isn't worth crap.

    Wow. If I get that high of a ping on servers where dying is costly, like Wild West, I say, "That's it, I can't play."

    It's actually not too bad. Occasional lag spike, but I make it work,

    Brawl's server are based in Canada.

    As you might know, your ping (ms) depends on how far you are from the host and on the modem (or fiber optic). The further you are, the more lags (or ping) you will have, this is obvious. That's why the datas about your connection on Speedtest are different when you are playing Brawl. Moreover, having an Ethernet connection is more powerful than having a WiFi connection (not on Brawl).

    On Brawl Americans usually play with 20-60 ms, Europeans with 80-200 ms, Asians with 300+.

    As for me, I get 85 ms all the time (France).

    I get 100ms, which is fine for me. I used to play a lot of HG before McPvP shut down, and now that there's no EU HG servers I can't soup PvP at all, so I had to play nosoup and now I've had to stop playing it altogether. I still play it on a different server, and I get better ms, there's less kits and you don't need to wait so long for a game, so its much better for me.

    For CTF, I've honestly barely noticed a difference. The only lag that effects me on CTF is the server lag that everyone gets, which happens basically whenever there's a full server, so I only play as soon as I get back from school where the server isn't at peak time.

    Its hardly ideal but definitely playable in most situations.

    My normal ping is 104 MS and since I don't do vanilla PvP that's perfectly fine usually.

    Ping is about 300-400ms, if it's higher than 400 I can't play, the Internet was the biggest problem, but now I'm arrived USA
