whenever I go to do a random online match, no one else joins. There have got to be plenty of people who have brawl, so why will no one face me?
You should exchange FCs with people.
I don't think Nintendo has gotten their act together with random matches.
Nintendo Help Line-
"Due to the high volume of people playing super smash brothers brawl, there is bound to be a few issues regarding getting to actually fight people. Give it some time, and keep trying, and eventually, the problem should correct itself. In the meantime, we suggest regestering people in your Friend List, because that isn't having any problems."
That's what they said, word for word.
