i swear one thread ago people were making fun of others saying this might happen

Salty Rice · Jan 22, 2020

Awesome. Didnt expect that.

No excuse for developers especially for future games still not using rollback.

You know who you are.

808s & Villainy · Jan 22, 2020

So the Switch version is just out of luck??

Kalmakov · Jan 22, 2020

YES YES YES YES

I can finally get into this game lmao

TheDarkKnight · Jan 22, 2020

And Vita!

this is very exciting news. And I "hope" might be a sign that More japanese Games start going with rollback. Granted this wasn't done by SNK proper so I'm not trying to read too much into it

That wasn't handled by SNK (and never had online to begin with).

Isn't the switch version just the Arcade Archives release? I don't think they'll ever add online to that. It would be cool if they ported this version too.

Switch's SNK games are like the ACA collection which I don't think Code Mystics has any involvement with. They don't even have online.

Though honestly I'm shocked this is out on PC considering that was a Dotemu thing.

Deleted member 1102 · Jan 22, 2020

This is honestly amazing, bless SNK and Code Mystics for doing this. Don't want to sound greedy but I hope they do this for their other classic games like KoF98 (and KoFXV but that ain't happening).

Will have the title updated.

Buying the PS4 version, great stuff.

Hanbei · Jan 22, 2020

Bandai Namco, Capcom, please take notes.

TheDarkKnight · Jan 22, 2020

For people interested in the game.

It is this version of the game

NOT the ACA version which is just an arcade port with no online

I don't think you need to worry about Capcom. More like Bamco, ArcSys and SNK proper.

Zero-ELEC · Jan 22, 2020

why's the switch version ACA and not a standalone game ;_;

skillzilla81 · Jan 22, 2020

I didn't own it on PC, so just bought it there. So happy!

TheDarkKnight · Jan 22, 2020

Bob White · Jan 22, 2020

Soooo, is there a chance for that new KoF to have rollback??

JusDoIt · Jan 22, 2020

Come get this Butt, y'all.

Jaded Alyx · Jan 22, 2020

Only thing that would have made this better, is crossplay between PS4/Vita/PC.

Capcom is the only Japanese company that uses rollback.

Let's not forget, rollback was added to SamSho V just weeks before Samurai Shodown released with delay-based netcode.

The biggest indicator to SNK that we want rollback in ALL games, is to buy Garou I guess.

Wow. This is nuts. Out of fuckin' nowhere.

lvl 99 Pixel · Jan 22, 2020

Didn't know it was on Steam, but why does it have mixed reviews? what happened with the PC version?

Garrison · Jan 22, 2020

Soo.... what does this do again?

Burning Kasshu · Jan 22, 2020

Please buy and support this people so that it can at least lead to other code mystics snk games get rollback (Like Last Blade 2) and maybe help convince SNK proper to invest in rollback in there own current titles.

Before today's update, it was a dotemu port which was basically just a MOTW rom that had frame skipping and input lag issues. Now it's the Code Mystics port that was on PS4/Vita and with the newly added rollback.

Adds superior netcode to the game so online matches run much smoother.

VariantX · Jan 22, 2020

Garrison said:

I'm not a rollback expert but I can tell you from experience, rollback preserves input timings and keeps them consistent. If the players get too far apart from each other in terms of delay, then rollback happens and re-syncs the players and the match continues like normal. Delay based netcode is extremely distance sensitive too so the further you are away the worse its gonna get while rollback is a bit less sensitive and allows you to play good matches with people much farther away.

Mesoian · Jan 22, 2020

FEELS GOOD MAN!

Chaos2Frozen · Jan 22, 2020

makes online play for fighting games better

Woah...I already own it on PS4, fantastic news.

ElBoxy · Jan 22, 2020

RIP 360 version.

skillzilla81 · Jan 22, 2020

Just had a match with like 240 ping and it was still SUPER good, lol.

FUCK YES!!!!
