Ok so, I finally got my copy in the mail after ordering it from Gamestop, and I played it for a few days non-stop (because I'm an addict). After figuring out how to download the patch, I took my fighting skills online. For a while, everything was fine. I have a pretty good internet connection, so lag was just a minor problem here and there. But, like many others, I am unable to completely avoid it. So I quit a match once due to lag and I was surprised to see that it makes you wait 10 minutes before getting back into an online match. A little ridiculous, but whatever.
So, fast forward a little bit, and I'm in an extremely laggy match and it's making the match unplayable. I decided "ok whatever, I'll just wait the 10 minutes" so I quit the match and I play offline for a little while. After ten mintues have passed, I go back online to start another match, and the game informs me that I have to wait 71 MILLION MINUTES to be able to join another match. This is extremely disappointing, as I purchased the game mainly for the online battles, and now it seems as though I am permanently banned for no reason at all. This happened to me yesterday, and I tried to join an online match again today, and the timer is still counting down from 71581439 minutes and... 4 seconds as of this writing.
Is this just a glitch? What happened? Is there a way around this? Any help at all will be greatly appreciated, thanks!
Oh also, I am aware of the one-day ban for using Peach. I don't know if that has been fixed, or if it has anything to do with what happened to me, but I was not using Peach when I had to quit the laggy match. I also DO NOT cheat when playing online, or at all for that matter.
