Street Fighter 6 has rollback netcode and cross play
- Thread starter Raigor
- Start date
To the surprise of nobody, SFxT onwards used rollback & MvCI finally got it right. The real question is cross-play.
SFV had rollback netcode and it was trash, i knew SFVI would have rollback, just need it to be great rollback like KI or Strive..
First sf ive been excited for since Alpha. Hated 4 and 5. That drive cancel though looks akin to dodgeroll in usefulness. I need to play to get a feel but the toolkit may FINALLY address my complaints with the series. Theres a reason I play kof. This sf may finally mitigate the issues I have with the series for once.
People are asking the wrong question. Every Capcom fighting game since SFxT has had rollback.
The question is what improvements have they made since MvCI?
How is the shift to RE Engine affecting it?
Is the slower frame data to help the rollback be more stable?
Is there crossplay?
Stop asking if there will be rollback. Of course it will.

Yeah. Same. I would bet that the netcode will be super smooth this time around.
Given that everyone would have been able to guess this, and not all rollback implementations are equal... almost nothing.
Assuming that MvCI's netcode is the basis, playing online won't feel like a nightmare.
It was good for its time. When SFV dropped, every other major fighting game had trash delay based netcode. But the game has lived a long life and many games have come out since with much better implementations of rollback.
Yep. Rollback is the new default. They're not going to go backwards. We're roughly a year out from release and there's no better time ask questions about things they might have time to address before launch to have a better product. I hope people start asking Capcom about things like input lag, how are they structuring online ranked modes and consistent performance on stages.
The hope is that it's the good one from MVCI here and not SFV's version.
I'm not so sure about that. Plenty of games offer crossplay across all devices. If capcom wanted it they can get it. It's a different time and situation this time around.
BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE!
Crossplay confirmation is expected but good. The game is going to have the largest fighting game playerbase thanks to its popularity (if it keeps its momentum) and crossplay.
