What's going on boys and girls what's up world Austin John plays here and today
we're going to be talking about Sakurai talking about Joker in Super Smash
Brothers ultimate and the horrible horrible online lag
Merry Christmas everyone hope everyone got their Nintendo switches and their
smashes and their let's goes and everything else that you wanted maybe an
Xbox I don't see why you would but I hope everyone got everything that they
wanted hope you got a new puppy if you got a new puppy hit the like button
Christmas morning I woke up and Savia to play some smash got my rank up thank you
everyone who just got the game you helped me do that you're the best I went
out I bought a cat5 adapter I plugged the cat5 adapter in because I was
getting some bad lag guys getting some stalls and everything else and even with
the cap 5 adapter plugged in I still had ridiculous lag in smash to the point
that sometimes it would just freeze then there'd be a smash loading icon in
the corner for like 5 to 10 seconds that's not how you play a fighting game
Sakurai has some things he likes to talk about with that and wants to talk about
Joker from persona being in Smash let's take a look these this article is coming
from Co nintendo.com first is notes on Joker's progress early on in release day
we revealed that persona 5s protagonist Joker is going to join Ultimates roster
as another fighter Joker is the first of ultimate DLC characters so the character
isn't at a stage in development where he's playable yet that beings a
development has been progressing soundly I personally have a lot of respect for
persona 5 fun fact Sakurai absolutely loves the menu and UI for persona 5 and
that may have helped inspire smashes UI I really think that working on this
character has been an endless source of motivation for me while Joker's reveal
Nintendo at first approached me with a request we want you to reveal that
Joker's and development at the game awards 2018
sounds pretty blunt the timing wasn't bad at all it really was what made the
flower that was ultimate releases bloom of course I haven't even started on
development at this point so there wasn't any gameplay we could show off so
we just talked about something that's going to be coming up got it nice on
ultimate popularity and thanking fans that smash broz is on sale meaning that
it's now available for purchase it's not cheaper it has been incredibly popular
I've gotten so many thank yous and appreciative comments from all over the
world I'm the one that should be thanking you
seeing everybody play the game I'm lucky to have worked on it now that it's over
if you don't know Super Smash Brothers ultimate is the fastest selling smash
game ever the game has sold over 3 million copies in 11 days based on
Nintendo's own numbers actually hang on according to the VG sales wiki it's
currently at 5 million units already sold for super smash brothers ultimate
the Wii U was at five point three four it's about to beat the Wii U's sales
numbers in less than a month the 3ds had double the numbers brawl was at 13 as
the highest selling game on the Wii which was the best-selling console that
they ever made and mainly the one that fans worldwide rave about was 7.41 so we
are well on our way to beating melee and probably brawl probably brawl dr.
Sakurai on the other hand now that ultimate is out the online matchmaking
system not working out well I've got my own suspicions so I'm going to look into
it some I'd like to make adjustments whoever possible to fix wherever it
needs fixing though by the time this column is published it'll probably be
old news already I'll keep doing my best one thing at a time now if you didn't
know there is a lot of issues with the online matchmaking not so much the
matchmaking itself but the lag that people are experiencing while they play
the matchmaking screen seems to go by pretty swimmingly but once you get into
an actual match oh it's me and an inkling verse clouding a Yoshi nice oh
we just got a nice little lag spike right there pretty much at a crucial
moment and I'm not gonna blame that on why I fell but I did fall immediately
after that's fine I could just I just need to come back and kill everybody
real quick there's cloud
and you know she's down as well nice oh we just got another like these lags are
there like little mini lag spikes like that one right there as soon as I
started breathing fire like it's not good like this game runs so some authors
there was another one this game runs so smoothly but like having those little
lag spikes really affects the overall experience really Joel you're just gonna
spam that and great so during this time I didn't get any huge lag spikes but
normally like if you have like a super strong connection you'll just have like
the loading logo in the corner these like spikes weren't like really
hindering the game experience they were annoying but they weren't like
destroying the fun nevermind my very next match had the worst lag ever great
examples here but guys I wanna know your experience with smash online so far if
it's been rough for you or if you've been having a pretty smooth experience
if you're excited for a joker from persona coming to Super Smash Brothers
ultimate I'm just ruin it for banjo you guys already knew that
so yeah that's gonna be wrapping this up guys till next time Austin John out
