Does melee have input lag?

Console melee has an inherent input lag of roughly 3 frames, and reducing this is what allows netplay to function close to CRT despite requiring signal to be sent between players.

Does dolphin have input lag?

Yes, depending on your setup, Dolphin can have as low as 18 ms average video input lag, depending on counting method, monitor, hardware, Dolphin version and settings, whereas console+vanilla+CRT has 55 ms. That's why you should by default use netplay lobby buffer.

How do you fix the input lag in Super Smash Bros Ultimate?

The game attempts to compensate for lag and make it feel less noticeable by intentionally not acting upon the input for a few frames; this is the frame delay. After the number of frames that the frame delay specifies, the input is acted on.
