Regarding the Brawl HOST.

I am from the West coast of the United States, and I get between 90-100ms. If I remember correctly, Brawl is hosted 0n the Eastern side of North America. No matter where you host the server there will be a certain group of people whose ping is higher than others. Since the majority of players are from North America and Europe, the server is hosted where it is. That leaves the Oceanic and Asian players with higher ping.

 

Brawl doesn't really have Asian players. Eu ping is at around 100 to 250, so it's acceptable. No need to change the server host.

 

I'm from South America and I get 140-160 ms

 

Eventually people from a certain region will suffer from high ping, it's impossible to have everyone equal unless everyone stays in America or something.

 

I am from France and I usually get ~80ms. It might be a high one but it doesn't prevent me from enjoying the whole infrastructure of the network.

 

We got several korean WarZ regulars and we've got Australians that suffer with lag. There's no big difference between Germany and america since we most likely get the same ping if you're not living at the border to Canada.

 

It also depends if your connection with the main host is good or not. Last time I played I had around 120 ping and I live in Belgium. My internet is sometimes not stable which causes the lag for certain people.

 

Skill easily defeats those ms. Just look at me, I have been at the top of the leader board in both war and ctf.

Sorry but I have a 250 to 300 ping, on the other hand Americans get a 30 to 100 ping.
It's great to hear that we have Korean and Australian players but they don't even make 1% of the community.

Yes, but changing the server host won't change the fact that you have an unstable connection.

 

Tbh they do and americans get the same amount of ping as I do and I live in the south of Germany. If an American lives close to the border to Canada their ping will obviously be better.

 

low key self praise

 

When have war ever been about skill?

 

I get about 90ms and it's fine. I think brawl is just generally very laggy and a lot of things are poor (hit detection, soup lag, other stuff)

 

Eventhough what you stated above is true, regarding my experience of lag even when PvPing I don't come against a very high ping. I usually get 100 to 200 ms but in some extreme situations were my internet faces problems I get up to 1000 ms. Even if lag spikes are things I am used to them. I've learnt to accept that and keep playing like I always do.
Now in my opinion, hosting a new server isn't much needed. I would like to experience Brawl in a lower ping but still, it isn't needed to happen.
The only thing that makes me wonder is what ping conditions Australian players' play on. Since Australia is a very remote island on the Southern Hemisphere and having the server set on the opposite side of the world in Canada there should be a huge ping problem in there. Now on the other hand, considering the fact that we don't have a huge amount of Australian players should make this problem look smaller but there are still some that exist. I have an open question to all Australian or Indonesian players:

1. Are you satisfied with Brawl's current host?
2. Do you experience any ping problems? What are the ping values you play on?

Concluding, my opinion of Brawl's host is fine. I don't have any problems with it and I don't think hosting a new server is compulsory.

What do you think? Do you agree with me?
