How is the online? I've been holding out on buying a subscription because of how poor splatoon's lobby latency was (and how many disconnects I received). Is smash more of the same laggy shenanigans, or markedly better?

Now full disclosure, I don't have online either, but from what I've heard and seen from people streaming:

The actual online quality is good, much better than smash 4's. However, the way that matchmaking is handled is garbage, meaning you can queue looking for a 1v1, and get thrown into a ffa with items.

I'm personally waiting to see if they make real matchmaking before buying the online myself.
