...and you can even PUNISH people for hacking the game! Both players can safely trust the server to give accurate info.
Unfortunately, servers are too expensive for starving indie devs (e.g. Nintendo), so let's explore other options.

Some are asking "why wasn't this in at launch?"
In reality there's a lot that goes into a simple feature like this. Any new menu/UX requires a design process to make it a reality, but beyond that this feature also has some challenges attached to it.

Well, it's not so simple. If you send each player's button presses over the internet (big arrows), there's some delay due to how far the signal must travel. So the inputs get out of sync between the 2 screens.
Notice that the order of the characters jumping changes.
1
42
1K
ROLLBACK NETCODE sends inputs back and forth. However, each input is sent along with a timestamp of when it was pressed.
When the input is received, the client calculates what WOULD have happened if it HAD received the input on time. Then it "skips ahead" to that point.
3
65
1K
...In practice, there's a LOT that needs to happen to make this work:
- Keep track of past game states
- Rewind time
- Resimulate those frames with the newly received input in mind
...all in the span of 1/60th of a second. You're basically programming time travel in your game.
4
44
1K
...but since you're sending state data, both clients will agree on the outcome at the end. Notice how Mario still hits the block and gets the coin on P2's screen... even if it looks janky.
This is why in Mario Kart, you can throw a green shell at someone but somehow miss.
3
37
1K
...This out-of-sync thing is a problem because it can make a player succeed on one screen but fail on the other. A few frames doesn't sound like a lot, but it can be the difference between victory and defeat in an action game.
E.g. Mario gets/misses the coin.

PROBLEM: Each client is now TRUSTING the other client to send accurate state information. So if P2 hacks the game to make Luigi fly on his screen, P1 will trust it, and P2 will have an unfair advantage.
So that's kinda wack.

I ran out of my fancy animations so here are some text-only posts :^)
Adding rollback to a game is like adding a drive-thru to a restaurant: you need to rethink how everything works in order to enable an entirely different mode of operation.
4
28
1K
This gif has bigger input delay. Notice on P1's screen, Luigi "skips ahead" to the peak of his jump: "teleporting" effect.
It's like missing your cue in a recital and skipping to the middle of the song (rather than starting from the beginning), to get in sync with everyone else.
1
33
1K
...However, due to the extra input delay, Mario's timing is messed up. He now has to press jump earlier in order to hit the block.
This is a downside of delay-based netcode: your muscle memory for combos / techniques needs to CHANGE in online vs local, or w/ connection speed.
3

989
If you're making a fighting game, you don't want ANYTHING to be different across the 2 screens. Timing matters!
SO let's sync everything up by DELAYING the local input to match the network input. On P1's screen, Mario hesitates to jump.
Everything is in sync now!
1
20
961
Here's another approach: what if P1 runs the game, and P2 just STREAMS it? So P2 sends controller inputs, and P1 sends video/audio data. E.g. Steam remote play
No out-of-sync issues here, but P2 has HUGE input lag. He presses A but Luigi hesitates to jump. NO GOOD
1
21
927
What if you (the game dev) create a server to mediate player interactions? In this example, players send inputs and the server sends states, acting as a middle-man to verify that a state is valid.
1
22
924
OK, what if instead of sending INPUTS thru the net, we send STATES? E.g. instead of "I pressed the A button", send "My character is at position (x,y), has 5 coins, etc".
On the surface, it looks the same, since you're still out-of-sync due to delay...
2
23
909
Like before, state-sharing guarantees eventual agreement (but with the same "I should have hit him!" weirdness)...
1
19
904
Another fun analogy: Rollback netcode is like Back to the Future.
BttF: Time travel back and ask "what would have happened if Marty's parents never met?"
Rollback: Time travel back and ask "what would have happened if P2 pressed jump 5 frames ago?"
1
18
897
On the plus side, notice that we're sending INPUTS back and forth rather than STATES - so cheating doesn't work. Luigi can't fly, since P1 just receives the A presses.
Some games will detect cheating by comparing player coordinates (but they can't tell WHO is cheating).

...I forgot to really cover this, but the reason rollback is great is because it combines:
1) No (or very little) input delay
2) Perfect in-sync
3) Impossible to cheat (no trusted state data)
So it's the gold standard for fighting games. All of the cool kids are doing it.

The "or very little" input delay is because a game can optionally ADD some input delay artificially. This reduces the "teleporting effect", so it might be worth.
Melee (on slippi) runs FASTER than gamecube by default, so it can afford to add delay and still feel silky smooth!

First off, ANY menu you design for your game needs to go through the same design process to make sure it's very intuitive, polished, visually appealing, and bug-free.
This is rarely enough to kill a whole feature on its own. But it's a consideration in budget/planning.
