@NathanTheAsian its because they barely even 'fixed' the netcode in smash bros. this 'upgrade' will not improve anything, the netcode is 100% at fault.
It won't fix anything, it's simply the back-end. There is hilarious lack of understanding from everyone I know and a lot of people online of how most nintendo titles work online.
Smash is peer to peer, so is mario kart. When a match starts your consoles directly connect to one-another, then when the match ends, you go back to nintendo's online manager servers.
The lag in games comes from antiquated netcode which these companies refuse to replace with the likes of GGPO because they didn't make it themselves in-house, they have some sort of superiority complex.
Lag in Mario Maker 2 is because the netcode is lock-stepped, every player has to communicate what the next game frame is like before any action can continue and its amazingly bad.
Look forward to paying continuing to pay $25 a year or whatever for the privilege of frustrating online experiences.
