if youre wifi you may not be allowed to compete now this option exists, think about it
Doubt it. Some noteable players are notorious for garbage connection and still entered tournaments. Wired is better for sure, that's not even an argument but when I have the second best speed possible (90 down / 9 up [the down up ratio is trash af in Florida from internet providers but I've played on 1.8up with flawless connection so I think 9 is fine]) and the gateway is literally just across the living room AND I've even gotten someone you and a lot of the competitive scene trusts to back me up on my claim that my connection is fine and some of the community STILL acts like suddenly I'm playing on a potato then that's just dumb lol

So you don't think in the near future wb giving the OK to add to nrs to add this feature will ask them to use it? WOTG might .....

At bare minimum it let's me know who to play w

People are acting as if their 30 Mbps wired connection is all the sudden super god like and they are a part of some wired master race lol.

I tried to say the same thing lol. If I would've played someone without the notification they would've thought I'm wired. Some of the fgc is being super aids about this lol
Not only that, but it also depends on connection strengths. Both players could be wired, but if your internet is ass then so will the gameplay. Used to hear the cries in MK9 and I never had a problem unless it was against randoms. Still wireless at that time and never had lag issues against friends with good internet.

If you own a laptop and an ethernet cable you can just easily connect your console to your laptop and bridge the connection to play wirelessly even though the console thinks you are connected via wire.

Not hard at all, you can find instructions for whatever OS, just google "Bridge connections" for your respective OS.

(Linux example there, but every major OS can do it as well. Windows and OSX included)

But to the point- this feature will help alot in avoiding randos with crap connections who simultaneously have 10 tabs open on their browser streaming porn and Nickelback playlists. But if you actively go out excluding people who really want to play you to the point they'll put in any marginal level of effort to do so, they can. So I'd avoid being religious about this matter.

**edit**
Also, disclaimer. I'm wired. Fuck wireless for real. Just want to point out this doesn't really prevent it.

Maybe wotg. Idk. It's a possibility but that also would hurt numbers. And I honestly doubt esl will. I have my viewpoint and you have yours. Like i said it's a little extreme to assume everyone using wifi has shit connection. On top of that i have a gateway. It has 2 routers. Regular wifi and 5g. 5g is better and only my PS4 and xbox are connected to that. And only one is on at a time. Connection is never an issue. If my shit is fucked up then it ends up just being my internet and I call to get it fixed
 
I will be wired for MK11, just passing on inj2, I cant put a damn cable across 2 rooms and a living room, but since I will move to Austria, do the military and then rent my own place, I will get a wired connection, I will be back for mk11 :D

The panic is real, y'all need to chill out and take a xanax or something.

I'm on WiFi and all this does is make me not want to be lazy and finally purchase the 100ft ethernet cord. If @Pig Of The Hut or whomever doesn't want to play me until then, I can't blame them. WiFi, while convenient, is aids for a competitive fighting game.
 
I'm never been disappointed in this community until now...
I agree people are acting really childish. Wired connection does not instantly make your connection better than wireless. This just seems like a lame attempt at excuse making but this will change nothing. When people realize being wired doesn't mean your connection is automatically good the new excuse will be they have a bad internet provider and it wasn't my fault, i didn't get outplayed.

I typically always play wired but seeing as how I am in the middle of a move, I have to use wireless for the time being if I am to play online, which is why I haven't yet except for two player matches last night just to see and everything seemed fine.

I am trying to hold out as long as I can since ill be moved soon and can go wired again but I really want to play online and stop limiting myself to offline single player lol

whether someone has dsl or ATT is next step of evolution
Speed is speed... 100mbps is 100mbps, doesn't matter if it's coming thru the cable line or the phone line.

Wifi vs. Wired tho... there's no debate there

As previously mentioned, other people and streams on the connection is another factor
