I'm not sure if there'll be enough participants to make it really worthwhile though. I'm mostly just worried about causing a laggy match for whoever I'm supposed to be fighting, since most people are going to be from the US and I'm ~4000 miles away. Dunno how the internet is at my student house for this year either ;_;
When I was playing online randomly, it was about 50/50 for a laggy match compared to a normal match; but that was also a 4p FFA, and if everyone is all over the place in the world I would imagine it would cause more lag. 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.
