What is rollback netcode?
There are two types of netcode, rollback netcode and delayed netcode. For starters, netcode is basically the connection between the two systems via the servers. Most connection and lag issues occur due to a problem on the game’s netcode.
When it comes to rollback netcode, it is considered as the best feature for fighting games. The reason for that is that with rollback netcode, the game predicts what the player is going to do, instead of waiting on for their input. If by any chance the prediction is wrong, it rolls back to the correct input. This ensures that the overall experience is more responsive, and less laggy.
How is it different from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate?
You might be wondering, how is it different from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Well, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate uses delay based netcode. That means that the game waits for the input of the other player to arrive, and then only the input of the player gets executed, to keep things in sync. This could cause a number of issues, especially for competitive players. While the developers tries to implement rollback netcode in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, a number of issues prevented them from doing so.
Rollback netcode could exactly be what Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl needs to make a compelling case for itself as a fighting game. Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl is all set to release this year on Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X
