Playing Brawl on [[Dolphin]] netplay has significantly less lag than [[Nintendo WFC]] (including [[Wiimmfi]]), over the same connection.
This is a [[Gecko code]] that eliminates zero to two frames of [[input lag]] that the game has built-in (even offline).{{fact}}

In the emulator [[Dolphin]], you need to set the "Minimum buffer" manually. It should be set to approximately ping (in ms) / 8. Setting it too high causes unnecessary lag, whereas setting it too low causes lag spikes (uneven framerate).

If you have one, turn off your {{s|wikipedia|VPN}}. Playing a realtime game through a VPN is never a good idea. If you can't connect without a VPN, you may need to [https://www.wikihow.com/Set-Up-Port-Forwarding-on-a-Router turn on port forwarding or DMZ on your router].
