Laggate is the reason of the Blackbelly Screwjob, and it sucks hardcore

[Alscor]

Don't you hate getting screwed of a win unnecessarily, because of laggy connections, and you succumb points just for it in Ranked? Also, is it ragefilling for you that you've won the game, but all of a sudden, your mind is telling you what the game is saying to you mentally, and those messages are like, "Hey, you got a laggy connection, so screw you, you can't win", and "End the match, end the ``````` match, and take away his win!", in a way Vince McMahon has said back 18 years ago at Survivor Series in Montreal? It sure does for me, and what I just went through was pretty much the same thing Bret "The Hitman" Hart went through himself back in 1997, by getting screwed of a win. This Blackbelly Screwjob can be connected to the Montreal Screwjob somewhat, but I actually won and got screwed a few seconds later after lagging out, whilst Shawn Michaels submitted Bret Hart, who never ended up tapping out to his own Sharpshooter submission maneuver at the time, but lost anyway due to Earl Hebner calling for the bell under Vince McMahon's orders. I won, after carrying the Rainmaker to the goal, but the freaking stupid laggy Japanese internet connection shunted me a pivotal win, as I was on the cusp of ranking up. I'm making up a term for the cause of the event, and it is laggate. It was ridiculous during the aftermath of the laggate happened, and it's the cause of the now controversial Blackbelly Screwjob. Nintendo, you better act, right frickin now...

What's your opinion of the laggate, the Blackbelly Screwjob, and getting lagged out while getting robbed of points in general?

It has happened to me before. Also what has happened before is I kill a rm dude in the air above our rm pedestal and he still ****ing wins.

Yup, I noticed a significant drop of my disconnection rates since I started avoiding rotations with Skatepark (because it's my least favorite map). Before I didn't even notice, but now in the retrospective I think it was actually Skatepark which sent me on >3 disconnects-in-a-row-streaks. As this map brings the Wii U to its limit it's only natural for the connection to get wonky, too. Hopefully the dev teams finds out about this and tries to patch it.

My only opinion is to check your Internet connection. If you're using AT&T or Comcast, I cannot do anything for you but recommend you find a better ISP who doesn't give you a garbage pipeline.

Had multiple Skatepark Rainmaker matches just now, but my losses there were due to the skill of my opponents.

I honestly don't have much lag there, but quick question: What in the map makes it so laggy?

I think the lag isn't caused solely because of internet connections, but also because of the Wii U hardware. Calculating the ink and stuff with all the ramps in the stage must take a lot of resources from the system. Now imagine if online split screen was a thing.

My best bet is to check your internet connection.
