I am a super casual, what does rollback do and why are people so excited about it?

delay based netcode pauses the game until it receives inputs from the other player. rollback netcode runs the game at (or near) full speed and tries to predict what the other player does until it gets an input that is incorrect, then rolls back the game simulation to correct for it.

the direct impact is that it makes executing combos online feel like offline since you aren't getting hit with unpredictable amounts of delay.

there's also a secondary effect where delay based netcode gets worse and worse the farther out the other player is, but rollback stays fairly consistent until a game suddenly becomes unplayable. if you can get playable matches at twice the distance compared to delay based netcode, you quadruple the number of players you can match against.

I'm trying to grab Guilty Gear from Gamebillet but the site is getting DDoS'd or something. The other site is out of keys otherwise I'd just buy it from there.

Demand for +r really shouldn't be so that i can DDOS a storefront...right?

Maybe, considering the other one ran out of keys.

edit: I just got one through gamesplanet ok

this is the quickest/least bs filled explanation I found and goes through GGPO and junk. It's worth the watch even as a casual, plus it's not tedious or long and some video of an angry nerd beating on an arcade stick while shouting about lag

Mine finally went through, if nowhere else has it on sale. I haven't played X2 since the original, time to find out if I retained any muscle memory.

I had 10 games on my NGPC. The fighting games were by far my favorites, it's just a shame you couldn't see a drat thing as soon as it was close to sundown. I don't recall it being as bad as the first gen GBA though.

Gimme Match of the Millennium and SamSho2.

Samsho 2 was the first NGPC game they put out on Switch, it was a preorder bonus for the new Samsho at first but now you can just buy it.

KOF R2 and Gals Fighters are available too.

This is cool, though I'm not sure if Hibiki would stand out enough in character design from the rest of the roster. It could be Kaede or Setsuna?

e; I guess it's specifically Last Blade 1 from the logo, so definitely Kaede.

The rollback patch for AC+R feels amazing! At first I was getting ready to be disappointed because the input lag on the character select screen is still there, but as soon as the match started I felt like I was offline. I only played one match at around 60ms of ping, but even that used to feel terrible in AC+R before the patch.

I really really hope the full release of this comes soon because the beta will only last a few days. I also hope that people stick with this game - I've really come to love it over the past week, even just from labbing in training mode and playing arcade mode.

They are implementing some updates that only the Switch version had previously like the lobbies. So hopefully that's an indicator that it'd be feasible to patch the PC version's updates back into the Switch version.

Also, for anyone that find bugs, here's the place to send them:

Also, looks like there is one known issue so far:

The thing that always gets me about SNK Heroines is not that it's a fanservicey fighting game, that's whatever. There's plenty of those games that are fine to good to even great.

What gets me is that SNK Heroines' whole deal is the characters are actively uncomfortable about it. It's like a weird extra exploitative layer slathered over the whole game that really, really did not to be there.

it extra doesnt make sense since mai is actively into dressing up like that and flirting.

theres some okay jokes but iunno why they made it weird instead of just having fun with it.

Ah see but if you put cat ears on her suddenly it's totally different!!

I think they still "had fun" with it but, like, a type of fun where you never want to meet the person who's into it.

i mean im not gonna pretend a bit of that kind of thing cant be like, fun in its own way, but there's a difference between 'mild nervous embarrassment' and 'a weird alien hacker kidnapped everyone and is livestreaming it without their consent' or whatever is going on in heroines
