If there's one thing that's important for a fighting game to have these days, it's good netcode. With the pandemic canceling in-person tournaments and keeping everyone at home, the only option for fighters is to play over the internet, and that means any fighting game's netcꦡode has to be as smooth as p🐬ossible.
Most modern fighting games use a form of rollback netcode to handle their internet traffic. Rollback netc🍬ode is a type of predictive algorithm that will try to guess what a player's input will be if there's a momentary connection loss. If the game guesses right, then play proceeds as normal and the players are non✱e the wiser. If the game guesses wrong, it'll "rollback" to when the connection was lost.
The alternative is delay-based netcode, which builds in a s𝔍mall time buffer to every command sent to the game. If a command fails to be received due to a network error, this causes the game to freeze and stuttಞer as it awaits input.
168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Smash Bros uses a delay-based netcode, which can make online matches feel slow and sluggish as the game constantly waits for everyone to be on the same page. Conversely, a game l🐓ike Mortal Kombat 11, which uses a form of rollback netcode, feels crisp and smooth 99% of the time thanks to a great predictive algo𝕴rithm.
Most fighting game enthusiasts say rollback netcode is the way to go, and that’s why more and more fighting games are adopting it as the gold standard. Including the upcoming 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:King of Fighters sequel.
Producer Yasuyuki Oda took to Twitte𒉰r today to confirm that SNK is working on 𒆙rollback netcode for King of Fighters XV, but can’t promise anything just yet.
"Great to see lots of passionate #SN🙈KRollback fans! You will be happy to hear that we have been working hard on an internal rollback solution for KOF XV from early in the dev cycle," wrote Oda. "The🀅re is still a lot of work remaining so we can't make any promises yet, but please be patient!"
We stil🍌l don’t know when King of Fighters XV will release this year, but it’s good to know that it will probably have rollback netcode when it does.
