Maximilian Dood puts $10K on the line for MVC3 rollback netcode
Streamer Maximilian Dood has posted a $10,000 bounty to implement rollback netcode for Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, aiming to improve online play beyond the game's original delay-based netcode. Rollback netcode predicts inputs and “rolls back” when needed to simulate a smoother offline feel. The Melee community’s use of emulator-based rollback as a precedent is cited, and MVC3’s modding scene has expanded the roster over the years. Whether anyone will take on the challenge remains to be seen, but the bounty signals a potential shift toward modernized online play for MVC3.
