I love the idea of online smash bros., but brawl's online never really worked for me, with those excessively long "friend"-codes...
Anyways, at it's current state, crusade's online system reminds me of AOE's online capabilities, where one person hosts the game, and his buddies on their laptops gathered in his living room and typed in his IP.
Don't get me wrong, this is great! I love private online games. It's just maybe their should be an add to this that gives the option to connect to the website's online server, giving you the ability to play with the crusade community.
But forget me and my silly ideas. How do YOU think that online should be improved?
