VIrtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown - Netcode

I have no words. They deliberately sabotaged this game's online even if Sega of America told them delay-based was not gonna cut it.

 

Interesting, nice to see that Sega US also push for rollback

 

They didn't make the game for America.

 

Sega is way too late when it comes to online gaming, they need to step it up if they want to stand a chance with modern fighting games.

 

Roll back netcode is good, but.......you still need a good connection for it to work properly, and have stable matches. Just like normal online game netcode, a strong stable internet connection signal, is still the main key here.

 

Nobody thinks rollback is magic... it's just FAR FAR BETTER

 

in my own experience playing ranked mode, the online is waaaaaay better than soul calibur 6, for example.
I've had different connections but in overall the netcode is great. I know, it's not perfect and needs a lot of work but right now is stable

 

In a certain sense, yes it is, but there are a few odd drawbacks to it, that gamers and roll back netcode hype men on youtube, literally don't talk about.

 

what are some of the drawbacks?


Honestly the only advantage to delay based I can see is rollback looks glitchier in a terrible connection, But even then with the weird stutter the game is far more playable than it would be in delay. That's not a advantage from my perspective as a player but I can see how a game company suit might be against something looking glitchy.
