It’s looking like Street Fighter 6 will have cross play and rollback netcode, two highly sought out features for fighting games.
There’s only two words you need to use to get a fighting game fan’s blood pumping: rollback netcode. And thanks to GameSpot’s Tamoor Hussain, we now know that the latest entry in the Street Fighter series will feature it. Prominent fighting game player Maximilian Dood was also able to confirm that Street Fighter 6 will have cross play, another big win for fighting game fans.
Rollback netcode might need a bit of explaining for those outside of the FGC community. Essentially, it’s a technique to circumvent lag where your input is predicted by the game while playing online, so that there’s no kind of input delay. And the same applies to your opponent, both ends being treated like a computer rather than another player.
