Nintendo's blockbuster fighting game franchise Super Smash Bros. isn't a good fit for online play, its creator Masahiro Sakurai has said.
Indeed, Sakurai addressed Nintendo's often shaky online servers, saying that"network lag tends to make the game a pretty choppy experience". Ultimately, though, it sounds like adding online play was something he had to do:"when it comes to technical issues, it doesn't really matter what I personally think," he said."If my job is to do it, I'll do it.
Moving on to the technical difficulties Smash Bros. can face online, Sakurai noted how the series had to use"fully synchronous communication", where input timing is synchronised among all players every frame. "Still, when it comes to technical issues, it doesn't really matter what I personally think. If my job is to do it, I'll do it. And you never know, it could be fun in its own way. In fact, when we got online play working, I remember thinking. 'Wow, it's actually possible'."
