Hey fighting game fans! We put together this Netcode Primer. Part 1 explains Rollback vs. Input Delay. Pt. 2 (in thread) explains how to tune our netcode settings for the online experience that's best for you! Full video at youtu.be/1JHetORRpfQ Here's Pt. 1: #netcode #rollback

@COTW23800664 @theplayertwoo @NEOGEO_JP Marketing is SNK. We're merely the devs. For LB2, rollback was a patch in 2020, 2.5 years after its release, so perhaps the store page wasn't updated to reflect the change? Premium does add other features: training mode for games that didn't have it, online tournaments, etc.

@CodeMystics @theplayertwoo @NEOGEO_JP Thank you for this clarification, as it changes a lot regarding how this game's re-release should be approached. However, why was this not mentioned on the Steam page, while it is apparently being used as the flagship selling point of the Neo-Geo Premium Selection?

次は......？🤔 #NEOGEO

@COTW23800664 @theplayertwoo @NEOGEO_JP The Last Blade 2 does have rollback: store.steampowered.com/news/app/70211…

No, the current version doesn’t have rollback netcode implemented. The art gallery consists of just 29 images, which isn’t even two per character on average. That’s not really an “art gallery” in the way fans usually expect one. It should include drafts, concept art, and proper illustrations that actually expand the game’s universe. On top of that, the scanlines are awful, just like they always are with @CodeMystics . There’s still a huge amount of room for improvement with this release.

We're encouraged by the early adopters! Always a match to find for #WHP. Get the word out and let's grow this! So many more SNK titles yet to bring back! store.steampowered.com/app/3822220/WO…

@TsukihimeFanboy Depends on specifics of your hardware and drivers. Full-screen widowed mode is also available by leaving full screen off but setting the window size to match your desktop size.

@CodeMystics Does full screen mode add more input lag or should I leave it on windowed mode for less input lag?

Another SNK classic soon will be making a triumphant return on Steam, complete with our signature online features! store.steampowered.com/app/3822220/WO…

@groanupgamer You're preaching to the choir, here. Anyone who wants console releases, let SNK know!

@CodeMystics Where is the console version?

@FaintAKneeLow We'd love to, and we've expressed our admiration of those games. It is indeed ultimately the decision of "SNK's higher ups" as you say, though.

@CodeMystics I know this is kind of a stupid question, but is there the possibility to have talks with SNK's higher ups so their Atomiswave titles get a similar treatment too? I mostly mean this for console only players, since I feel they're not keen to alternatives.

@ArcDranzer4747 To clear up some confusion: we do not have these licences. We're only the developer. We don't have a say in which games get released or for what platforms. You should direct your requests to @SNKPofficial who make these decisions.

@CodeMystics Please take this into consideration, I would appreciate it, and hopefully you, who have the licenses for game IPs like Neo Geo Battle Coliseum, KOF '98 UM and 2002 UM, KOF '13, and Garou MOW, will give them the green light to update them with crossplay and spectator mode. Thx

We've had reports of desyncs in #SVCChaos. One cause is likely two people with different OS languages (not the in-game setting) playing together. If you're seeing desyncs for this or other reasons, you can help us get to the bottom of them. See steamcommunity.com/app/2442380/di… for more.

@ArcDranzer4747 Sorry, while we'd love to do so, it's not our call. No such plans were ever announced by us.

@CodeMystics You promised the game would be released for Xbox series since over a year ago. When will it be released for that version? When will cross-platform play be available? Please release the Xbox version and the IP address; we want to play!,

@RaitoADV @SeventhForce We have noted the issue and will investigate once we're able to obtain a Switch 2 dev kit. They're much in demand! There's a bit of a waitlist...

@SeventhForce @CodeMystics

So, really dumb, weird backwards compatibility weirdness I found on Switch 2 that I doubt will ever get fixed: Gals Fighters via the NGPC collection has framedrops when played docked. Hooked up my Switch 1 to compare and it doesn't happen there.

@Historian There are several people (some not associated with us or them) that have been entrusted with the instructions though. Word will get out if it's needed.

@Historian The mode will fail anyway right now, as it will turn off again automatically if it finds the servers online. As long as they're alive, you'd have to mess with your DNS to keep the mode enabled.

@CodeMystics Hello. It looks like Arcade1Up may be shutting down tomorrow. reddit.com/r/Arcade1Up/co… For some of their machines you built the "online play" code. It was asked what would happen when A1Up was no more and it was stated that it was a ...

@CMGVR Which app are you referring to? Atari's Greatest Hits on Mobile? Atari discontinued it some time ago, unfortunately. Some more details at codemystics.com/products.shtml… then click on the Discontinued notice.

@CodeMystics "Battlezone", "Tempest", "Red Baron" & "Super Breakout" won't download on the app .... 😢🤷🏻‍♂️

@Blakehascake007 It's certainly an exciting idea, but SNK is the final say in choosing which of their titles we do, and we suspect the rights might be complicated with this one.

Have you guys over at @CodeMystics ever thought about translating and releasing Samurai Shodown RPG for the Neo Geo CD on modern consoles and PC? I'd definitely go for a physical limited edition release! #SNK #NeoGeo

@COTW23800664 @NEOGEO_EN p.s. the hitbox code presentation is entirely new. It was not "present but hidden."

@COTW23800664 @NEOGEO_EN Sometimes it takes a lot of work for something to look simple.😉 The rollback had to be heavily augmented to support the tag-team mechanic. Formerly it supported only 1v1. It now transitions seamlessly between spectating to rollback response, so on-deck players don't see teleport

KIZUNA ENCOUNTER: SUPER TAG BATTLE will be available starting at 10AM（PDT）on October 11! Launch Discount 25% OFF Sale starts at the same time — don’t miss it!🔥 #KizunaEncounter
