However, when I did a 1v1 with my friend (who lives on the opposite side of the US from me), the match was literally flawless. There was no noticeable input delay, it felt like we were in the same room.
So when dealing with 1v1 matches, it may solely depend on how well each of your connections are.
My internet speed is pretty bad here compared to at home (10mbps download, 1.5 upload, 1ms ping to nearest speedtest server thing though, so that's nice), but it seems stable. I don't lag at all playing Mario Kart 8 online so hopefully that's some indication of how it'll work for Smash. I just don't want to pineapple it up for whoever I'm supposed to be fighting xD
