​

It's time for users with a banned Nintendo Switch to get another bite at the apple, with our LAN play Super Smash Bros. Ultimate tournament, with a $50 gift card up for grabs to the winner. Unfortunately, since accessing LAN play on SSBU requires a custom firmware, players with unmodified Switches can't enter this tournament. (Don't worry though, we'll be hosting a four-day tournament through Smash's regular online features from April 7th to April 10th!) The tournament will start at 2pm CDT (3pm EDT, 7pm GMT, 6am ACT, 9pm CET). If you're unsure what time that is in your timezone, please go to this website, type in "2pm CDT" and it will tell you what time that is in your area (make sure you're not connected to a VPN!). Since this tournament isn't catered specifically to competitive players, but we still want it to have that competitive feel, we'll be using a simplified version of the 2GG ruleset.

• Stock: 3
• Timer: 8 minutes
• Items: Off
• Hazard Toggle: Off
• FS Meter: Off
• Best two out of three matches
• All characters are allowed
• Stage Selection: Random
• The following stages are in rotation: Final Destination, Battlefield, Kalos Pokémon League, Pokémon Stadium 2, Smashville

For users running Atmosphere, you'll need to go to this page, download the ldn_mitm_v1.3.3 zip folder, and move its contents to the appropriate folders on your Switch's SD card. You'll also need to download this file and put it in "SD:/modules/required."

For users running SX OS v2.5 and up, you need to go to the SX menu, head over to settings, and then make sure you've enabled online local wireless play. If you're unable to find a room, make sure your Switch wifi icon doesn't have an L on it--if it does, then that means the kip didn't load and you'll need to reboot and try again.

If you're having trouble, be sure to check this thread, with further details.

This is the server we'll be connecting to: kirbfeels.throwbackcountdown.com:11451

To break it down, what you'll need to do if you're a first-timer to LAN-play:
1. Grab the improved version of WinPcap, called Npcap.
2. Grab Switch LAN Play from GitHub. Here.
3. On your Switch, set your IP to 10.13.?.? where "?" represents any range between 10.13.0.1 and 10.13.255.254
4. Now, set your subnet to 255.255.0.0 and your gateway to 10.13.37.1
5. Next, you'll set your primary DNS as 163.172.141.219 and secondary as 207.246.121.77
6. You're almost there! Get the server address in the paragraph above and copy and paste it into the lanplay program on your computer. It should connect.
7. Now, connect to the internet on your Switch, and go to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
8. Go to the Wireless Play mode (it's one of the options on the dashboard on the right side of the screen).
9. Join the room!

Please make sure you have the latest version of the game (7.0.0).

If this is your first time using LAN play on the Nintendo Switch, we ask you to make sure you can connect to the server before the tournament starts so you have time to troubleshoot any potential issues. Give yourself about 20 minutes to work through the process and avoid any potential delays in getting the tournament started.

If you're interested in participating, please post in the thread below. Please also post the name of the account on your Switch if it differs from your GBAtemp name to help us keep track of everyone. Prior to the tournament beginning, we'll fill everyone's name into a bracket and post it so people know who they're facing off against. Since Ultimate's Wireless Play only allows users to connect to each other in private rooms, participants will have to host their own matches and arrange the rulesets themselves, so posting your Switch's account name will help make it easier for you to identify the proper room to enter if you're not hosting, or for you to know who to accept and who to reject from your room if you are. We encourage anybody who's hosting a match to pre-make a ruleset in accordance with the rules laid out above in order to expedite the process.

Good luck to all the entrants!

Well I'm in, that works surprisingly well. Now, how do I make sure my connection can handle playing?

Right now I'm waiting for a fourth to join, just to let as many people get in as possible.

 

[velgis]

I definitely saw you guys!

 

[bluedart]

Communication error. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the forum is not a good way to communicate about this

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Wow, this slideshow is unplayable. What's a one on one like?

 

[HaloEffect17]

Can't connect to lanplay. It keeps cutting my Internet connection to the point where I had to restart my router 8 times.

 

[relauby]

The one on one I had yesterday had some lag, but nowhere near this. I was just about to recommend that someone try setting up a room and just doing a 1v1 to test how that works.

 

[gudenau]

That was garbage. .-.

 

[velgis]

Out of curiosity, what does the "may fix smash" kip do? I haven't really seen a difference.

 

[relauby]

I'm seeing a few rooms open now for 1v1s. I'm currently assembling the bracket so if you guys can test your connections and get back to me that would be great.

 

[relauby]

Out of curiosity, what does the "may fix smash" kip do? I haven't really seen a difference.

I wasn't able to get it to work at all without that kip, but maybe it isn't totally necessary. I may have been doing something else wrong.

 

[nightweb]

Finally got it working, thank you for opening up the room, just gonna pick a game to try now,

 

[bluedart]

Still a slideshow. My internet sucks, just checking anyway. Out of curiosity, does "vel" have good internet?

 

[ragtagsquid]

Ok everybody, I've got a room open! My Switch account name is "Steeve," so that's the name you're looking for. A room can only hold 4 people so you may not be able to actually connect, but if you can see the room then you're connected properly.

And remember, the tournament is still scheduled to start in an hour. This is just to help troubleshoot people's connections, so if you're running late, don't think you've missed the first round!

Rooms can hold 8 people not saying it’s the best to play with

 

[velgis]

Still a slideshow. My internet sucks, just checking anyway. Out of curiosity, does "vel" have good internet?

Honestly, probably not the greatest on my end either. I think it really could be either of us or both with a poor connection. Sorry you had to go through that

Is your pc plugged into Ethernet?

 

[Draxzelex]

Sorry whoever had that first match and automatically ended in communication error. Gonna try a wired setup for better Internet connection.

 

[bluedart]

Is your pc plugged into Ethernet?

It is not, since I do not have an ethernet adapter. Also, would that help in this instance with how the homebrew works? If it helps at all, my PC is wired and the best ping I've ever gotten is 30ms. I doubt my internet is fighting-game compatible, but I really wanted to check.

 

[velgis]

Ha brilliant. At least I know I'm on the right track

Hey, considering the connection, I'm probably gonna drop out of the tourney. Thank you for testing with me!

 

[Aphromite]

Lol literally like every smash game I've ever played online. I had hoped Lan play would be better than Nintendo's implementation

Wired on pc should be all you need unless you have bad wifi

 

[nightweb]

Just had a communication error, my PC is wired through Gigabit, with 360/36mb line but I'm not sure of my ping and in Ireland if that helps?
