Super Smash Bros. Brawl Multiplayer Question

Tweet

I have had the joy of owning and playing Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the Nintendo Wii for well over a year now, however one of the major let-downs of this highly anticipated game, was its multiplayer mode. I have NEVER been able to engage in an Anonymous Brawl aka "Random Matchup", and have had to resort to very tedious methods of playing against other individuals online, such as Friend Finders in which you exchange Friend Codes with other players. I just wanted to know if anyone was having similar problems, and if they managed to fix it, how did they go about doing so? Thanks in advance! :)
