I remember when I first got this game I went online. The first guy I raced beat me easily! However IT WASN'T FAIR. Ok my Nintendo USB connector is about 3 feet away from my Wii. I never have lag online, my computer wasn't running other programs, and every thing was just up to speed. However when I raced this guy. I passed him up many times but 5 seconds later he appeared half across the map from me. NO matter HOW many times I cought up to him he just vanished and was a whole lap away from me.

It really sucked. Either they had bad lag and it was effecting me, or they hacked. Has this happened to any one else?

Happened to me once. He probably figured out a way to hack. If they had such bad lag they really shouldn't have been able to get online at all. The exact same thing happened to me. a second after I passed him he was a mile ahead. I was like :(

If you want a match in MKDS, Pokemon, Metroid, Wii, NDS, X360 or want to challenge me to do something in a non Wifi game (NiGHTS Score challenge, Mario Speedrun, etc.)... Go fo it! I'm always up for a game! :D<br /><br />Next is Photoshop, I've been messing with Photoshop for almost a year and a half already. I like to make stuff out of renders, pictures, videos. A challenge peaks my interest! :)
Oh lag matches suck on multiple levels! I played someone yesterday on all 3 maps, constant lag! Reala was lagging like nuts, popping up one place, then 2 seconds later, into another place. Reala popped up dead in front of me and knocked me back 30 feet in the middle of a spindash. I'm just glad it's every once in a while!

Is there any way for YOU to be 2nd player when YOU send out the call for a friend to play? I seriously want to play as Reala but it always places me as 1st player.

Hmmm, the only thing i would say is to have your friend invite you to a game they made, making you the 2nd player. IDK about quick random online matches, i've played as NiGHTS straight through my games.

I've had that happen once. It looked as though I was miles away from my opponent, but at one point I hit into some spikes, and he magically appeared ahead of me and won the match. D:

As far as being second player, I'm not sure if it's possible. I think you're forced to be NiGHTS on your screen no matter what.

That's weird, I've never had lag while playing online. The only time would probably be in My Dreams, but there wasn't much.

I am ALWAYS player one! I just want to see if Reala controls any differently than NiGHTS. That hat alone needs to pump up the wind resistance....

Nah, Reala plays just the same as NiGHTS. And as for playing as him online, I wouldn't know because I don't have internet on my Wii, but I'd say probably that no matter what, on your screen you're NiGHTS. The other person probably sees you as Reala.

I was thinking that but Reala always starts on the bottom, and NiGHTS starts on the top. So if you were really Reala you would be on bottom.... which I'm always on top.

I found that NiGHTS starts on the bottom and Reala's on top. At least that's how it is on my Wii.

For me it's completely random. Sometimes I start up top and other times it puts me on the bottom.

My Wii is stupid, then! I'm always on the bottom, always NiGHTS, and always losing!

<_< I just noticed something. It's kind of hard to scream NiGHTS in type if the "i" always has to be lowercased.... It just... doesn't have the same effect.

If you wanna play as Reala, play a local match with a friend and use the second Wiimote/GC socket. :mellow:
