PingChecker during lobby.

This is starting to become a issue, Players with poor connections running rampant through multiplayer. This is urking me more since i main charger and watching people walk through my ink without being slowed down is just a big wtf. Literally, that swim/walk through it shooting their Machine guns in my face.

There was even a time where a player was still rolling around the field when time was up. The results didnt show until that player finally caught up to the game and their trail was counted for points. (Worse then a triple ink strike on time up at some times)

So im thinking, maybe if its possible, should there be something in the lobby that forbids you from playing multiplayer if your ping is to high for the server. And if its P2P (Peer to Peer) matching players up based on how low their pings are with each other and slowly expand if no players can be found.

To be honest, making a "regional" option where you only get paired with people that have the same game region code as you would be ideal. Same goes with Smash 4. I usually only have problems with those from other countries.

That would be a better, less harsh fix lol.

mario kart has that regional matchmaking option, i dont see why they couldnt put it here (and smash)

Half of my deaths in Splat Zones are after I've already killed the other player, or their back is turned to me. I just laugh at this point. I was expecting there to be lag but it's so stupid at times.

Yes, we definitely need something like that. It really frustrates me when I'll kill someone easily then all of a sudden I'm dead from nothing when I was never hit in the first place.

They definitely need to do something about this. It's pretty frustrating when I die five to ten seconds after I've killed someone because they're laggy.

There were many times I killed someone in a 1 on 1 battle and then died by the same guy almost instantly. I would pay for better online play on Nintendo consoles if they made it better.

Region matchmaking is the best idea in this thread. I play at all times and typically have rooms with Japanese players, and there's no telling what other countries the players are from.
