The big thing I didn't know was how exactly online changes a characters placement on a tier list. You explained that aspect really well instead of just saying "projectile characters become better with no explanation". This is incredibly well-done video.

More issues with online: - You get penalized for just playing for fun without worrying about GSP, because then your low GSP tends to match you with people with bad internet. - Arena isn't a great alternative because of waiting queues, and bad logistics around spectating vs queuing to play. - The tournament mode is mostly free for alls. - If the opponent disconnects AFTER hitting the blast zone on their final stock, no GSP for you. Having myself disconnected (unintentionally due to internet issues), the quitter loses GSP BUT the game doesn't tell you, so it fails as a deterrent and only the player who did nothing wrong feels punished. - Game: "Rematch?" Me: "No, because they just spammed lame moves that abuse lag." Game: "Lol so your next opponent will be the person you just declined." - Switch's wifi adapter is weak and you can't expect most other players to have bought a third party ethernet adapter. - Input buffering combined with the inconsistent lag can lead to all sorts of accidental actions, which can be really bad due to the platforming part of smash. - Occasionally rules that you didn't agree to pop up. Rather than each player selects one very specific ruleset, and the game aims for "close enough", why not let players select a range of acceptable rules (I don't really care if it's 4 mins or 7 mins, and I actually like all stages if it isn't forced on unwilling opponents), but never match outside of what you agree to (final smash meter can die in a fire) - In quickplay, what if you could select between a casual and competitive mode, but either way it uses GSP to match to a similarly skilled opponent? You only match against opponents using the same mode, and GSP only changes in competitive mode. If you happen to hit elite smash or if the opponent requests it, you can switch from competitive to casual mode so you can keep playing. Some of these things could be pretty easily fixed by software updates if Nintendo wanted to...

Great video! As a game programmer myself I would like to give some technical insight on the implementation of a rollback system. A rollback system does not require multiple instances of the game to exist. You do not need to render the character's model's twice or the stage twice. What you need is a list of user inputs and character states. Using this list you can recalculate where the character should be. This isn't as expensive as it might sound. Also I don't think I quite agree with "It's already impressive that it can run on the Switch in the first place". This depends heavily on the stage but smash is actually a great example of something you can run with very high fidelity but with high performance. For example let's compare it with Zelda botw. The amount of models and terrain is many times higher than that of smash. The reason they perform well is because of the smart usage of LOD, terrain optimization, and many other optimization techniques used. There are many objects constantly moving around that are rigged and interacting with light in complicated ways. Smash is great because most of the scene is 2.5D and is static. This means a lot of the lighting can be baked easily and be made extremely cheap to calculate. It's opportune for many optimizations. (Some stages do require dynamic lighting tho, which can be significantly more heavy to run) There are many possible reasons why Nintendo didn't implement a rollback system. But as someone who implemented low-level sockets I can guarantee you that it is possible to implement in smash on the switch. And the switch is definitely capable of running it. EDIT: As this now has been pinned I figured it would make sense to give some further light onto technical aspects involved in a rollback system. If you're interested to know more about it I recommend to give an article on gamasutra called "Rollback Networking in INVERSUS" a read. EDIT EDIT: Seems like the edit broke the pin. Welp

Similar but unrelated. Can I just take a moment to ask, why the fk does my Z button sometimes come out as a jab instead of grab or a neutral air instead of a Zair?! Like for real, that shit pisses me off. This issue has existed in smash for multiple entries now, it's not a controller issue, has to be some kind of programming issue. I get that C stick inputs are recognized as a macro for direction + A button input, but Z is a completely different button with a different purpose. It's not like I press B input and an A input comes out. Hell sometimes I go to grab input and my shield comes out.... Like for real.... WHY?!

The actual reason why they chose against rollback is probably the SDI mechanic, I'd say. Unlike regular fighting games where most inputs don't matter both for comboing and getting comboed, it's only true for the former in Smash. So even if followup hits had connected the Game still needs to recalculate your position for every Input of SDI, which I'd imagine would be rather janky. I think rollback is still the far better choice regardless though, because I'd rather have a good SDIer teleport out of my Combo sometimes than Stop&Go Gameplay.

I think you were the first out of about 20 youtubers that I saw that actually went into detail on what makes characters better on wi-fi. Also, what I’ve noticed is that you usually get way more GSP when you play a character you have just started playing online, or haven’t played for a while. Also if your in extremely low GSP (I’m talking like 130k GSP) and you win/lose, your GSP will go almost nowhere.

I have a feeling it's very affected by your w/l ratio at a certain GSP level. Like I've been trying to get Terry into Elite and I've been sitting in the 6.6~6.8 mil range for awhile. I lost like six straight matches (yay lag and trying to hit combos against projectile characters!) and ended up around 5.5 mil. I won a few times but not as many as I had just lost, got back to about 6.7 mil, then won four more straight matches in that GSP range, mostly against those ranked higher than me, and only made it to just over 6.9mil. My w/l below 6 mil is very high, but my w/l in the 6.6-6.8 is probably about 50% at this point. What's really weird is I'll beat a 6.9mil person and get like 20k GSP, then get matched with a 5.7mil person and gain 80k, even when I'm sitting at 6.6. Infuriating.

8:22 There's no servers in most fighting games out there. The game directly connects both consoles, doing a Peer-to-peer connection. The same thing happens for 4-player games, when one player will be the host, and when the 3 other players will connect to it. 8:52 That's a complete lie. MK11, Skullgirls, Lethal League and other games on Switch, all have Rollback netcode. It has nothing to do with the actual Switch hardware. It's all about the game. The rest are bullshit claims as well. The only thing a game need to have a functional Rollback netcode, is to implement savestates. When you can go back and forth to a previous state of the game. This is what Rollback netcode uses to resimulate a situation, when the prediction isn't the same as what really happened. Emulators allow anybody to have savestate on tons of game. Even Brawl. So, theoretically, even P+ could have Rollback Netcode, if savestates can be implemented within Brawl. The savestates and rollbacks are actually working on the actual inputs, taken by the game. As long as the game is deterministic, meaning that the same inputs and pre-conditions will result in the same exact game being displayed (how in-game replay works), a game can have savestate, and can have Rollback netcode.

Whoever is reading through this comment thread, please put this thread at the top by liking the main comment. Yeah, I was also a bit perplexed when he said the Switch wasn't capable of implementing rollback. Even KI has a simple way of rollback by just using the same inputs that the player did a few frames ago. It's not the Switch's lack of power, it's the negligence of Nintendo and Bamco that is preventing this from happening.

I'm a +1 at being annoyed by his statement, too. The game isn't all the polygons and textures and crap they paint over the game, it's a collection of simple rectangular, triangular and circular bounding boxes. Proper rollbacking just needs a few KB of RAM free to save a few object positions and action states. The developers just simply don't care about this aspect of the game. Nintendon't care. Have another palette swap of Marth instead of a cool pegasus knight, we know you luv them so.

There are so many things about the online that you didn't even mention like: Not being able to queue up for games with a friend for doubles anymore, the fact that you have no idea what rules you are going to get - even in Elite smash (I have lost so many games because it's set to 3 minutes, items are on, smash meter is on, stage hazards are on, etc.), the fact that who's rules it goes with is completely random so you can get your opponent's rules 10 times in a row, the fact that you could have a massive damage lead on your opponent but because you have the same number of stocks left it goes to sudden death, not being able to veto maps, there not being a ranked/unranked option, there not being a desired connection option, etc. DCing is another thing. Why do you get a temp ban if you leave a game? If you know you are going to lose then you shouldn't be punished by leaving. It should benefit both people. You get a loss and your opponent gets a win, but you don't have to wait around to lose. And if the game is stupid enough for the winner to not get any points if the loser DCs then obviously this is something that should have been fixed a long time ago. Also, what is the point of adding someone you played against to your friends list? You can't send them messages and you can't invite them to games. So what is the point? Why do we have to pay for this?

Chances are you haven't she's the 4tg least played character online. This is because she's an extremely technical character. Most of her inputs need to be performed within 2 frames or less and online it's through luck that she likes it off or it's exponentially harder to do than offline.

Adding also: *the sensitivity of inputs, the c-stick shenanigans, and the buffer system.* *Sensitivity:* Ultimate is insanely responsive in that it only takes the slightest of control stick movements to turn around, input a direction, etc. This is fine offline as you can learn the timings, but due to the jitter online you will turn around before you attack, recover the wrong way, input the wrong move, drift too far when trying to sweetspot the ledge, etc. This is because the jitter (aka lag spikes) make it harder to time stuff on reaction, but also because two inputs that were on the same frame offline can be pushed to more than a frame apart by lag spikes. So an input for Sheik to down-b and immediate fade back can become a grenade (side-b) input. *C-stick shenanigans:* You have to return the c-stick to the dead center in order to use it again. This is also annoying offline, but online your center input is often eaten or you simply mistime it due to jitter. *Buffer:* It makes you do crazy stuff sometimes. Offline you can learn to play around it with good timing, but online its just going to do its thing. Also that extra 6 frames of online lag makes it impossible to know whether you've been hit by an attack. If you try to shield an incoming attack you might find yourself airdodging offstage.

If we look at other games such as intense fighting games with need for frame perfect reactions (ex dragonball fighters, the online is built to accompany that with little input delay and at least telling you how much frames of delay you have). Smash ultimate online doesnt even say how delayed you are, which makes it much harder to adapt to the online situation.

So I’ve recently (midway thru last year) decided to pick up this game after getting a switch because I used to love playing melee growing up and seen videos of ultimate on KZbin that made me obsessed with it and wanna get good at it. Since then I’ve attended a couple local tourneys in which I’ve done horribly at. Which is ok. But the issue I seem to be running into is that no matter how good I get at smash thru online practice I’m still no good at locals offline, and on top of that I keep trying to get into elite smash (and get very close) but lose a match and then lose another and then it all goes down hill. And with no close friends who play this game I haven’t really been able to practice it in it’s true combo offline form. So it’s super hard to gauge wether or not I’m actually getting better at the game at all. When it seems like absolute idiots can get elite smash by doing the most stupid options and I (an intellectual) am unable. This video has confirmed a lot of things I been feeling bout the game recently and was very helpful in my own understanding of how it all works and y I’m not succeeding (apart from my own learning process and genuinely losing to better players) thanks pop n lock it

If you really want to get better, practice on training mode and against cpu with your character, and against other players your best bet is finding a discord server or something where you can get arena matches with people that are close to you and have a good connection. It's not ideal, you're still going to have to deal with minimum online delay at best, but it's better than quickplay.

@@AlquimistEd Even playing against the CPU is kinda dubious for getting better because you get used to fighting opponents with very little (read: no) understanding of the depth of any situation. You get used to doing combos in a certain way, but the CPU doesn't DI correctly or use available options well so certain things that you ingrain into muscle memory don't work when you go against a real opponent. It still helps, but it can really build some bad habits. The only way to get better in a way that will really transition into offline competitive gameplay is to play locals, which is unfortunately not an option right now. Training mode is nice too, although I wish you could program DI and hit a button to reset both characters to an exact position and damage %. At the end of the day, the competitive scene in these games will always be an afterthought for Nintendo as they prove over and over through their inaction at extremely obvious problems that the community are vocal about.

Also Input Buffering in ultimate is ridiculous. The hold input buffer + input delay + lag = doooom. I understand rollback netcode is almost definitely outside of the switch's performance point for 3+ players. But surely it's possible for 1v1 without sacrificing too much visually. Another option is they could take our Nintendo Online money and host actual dedicated servers and switch from a P2P delay mode to C2S. C2S would at least stabilize your ping match to match and make the authoritative voice on what happens the server instead of each client having to wait for each other. IMO C2S is probably the best solution and makes the most sense given we're paying them for the service.

I agree with this.. however, there was a time when Nintendo was OFFERED dedicated servers in order to run their services significantly better.. but ultimately declined. Why? Because Nintendo is a cheapskate company and only want the cheapest possible outcome. Which is why they don't put many square reps because of the copyright and money that square asks for the character to be in. It's not just a simple question of, "ummm yes square I will need cloud and Tifa in smash... Oh? Umm they're quite a hefty price. I think we'll just take cloud." Nintendo has always been this way and I doubt they will try to make a change for the masses.

I'd argue the advantage difference between two slightly different but still sub 100ms pings to a server is not that great. Anything over 100ms and you kinda shouldn't be playing online competitive games. FPS games have always used a C2S system and yeah, people with over 150ms pings can experience weird things like getting shot when they think they are behind cover.

@@ZombieApocalypse09 Your taking such a leap of logic with your first points its unbelievable. "they are used to it" Mhh no but even if we agree here, at least physically they are on equal lvls which is important. The problem with servers and your FPS comparison are. 1. 2 different types of games with 2 different types of requirements. 2. Your ping to the server isn't necessarily your connection but rather your distance to the server. If i'm east coast and your west cost and we play against each other I'm going to have even with the best internet in the states an average of 40+ ping more. Playing a fps with some extra ping isn't really that bad simply because the nature of the game. A Fighting game that requires reacting and timing things in the spam of literal frames require precision. having 2 players on separate pings is just a bad idea. 3. The round trip timer on servers is higher than that of p2p. The problem with fighting games is you have to wait for each other or it just does not work. Adding a server to the mix is middle ground that increases time. P2P connect directly to the players and is the preferred method for fighting games because of the reduction in ping between the players. With rollback this connection method is near flawless in its execution. Oh btw this video doesn't really explain rollback well and makes it sound like you have to have extremely strong software to run multiple versions of the game for the predictions to work on rollback. This is false, part of rollback is separating game logic from game rendering which is whats used. It requires a lot less processing than you think is required and with some optimization the switch could absolutely handle it. They don't do it because they can't they don't do it because they won't.

And yeah, connections across the country would force one person to be connected to a server they have a somewhat less good ping too. But fighting games and smash in particular are not special little snowflakes. A lot of real time competitive games require good pings to work well online. And a lot of them do it very well with a C2S architecture. You could do rollback netcode with C2S as well. You think the precision and timing required to resolve complex interactions in TF2 was any more important than what is required to resolve smash? You're kidding yourself. But C2S worked great for that and it'll work great for this. Frankly, it's the only solution that will work given the hardware. As I'm sure you've realized, the other issue with doing rollback in smash that isn't highlighted in the video is that it won't work for 3+ player games because at that point the game is constantly having to resolve conflicts in 3 or more simulations of the game rather than just 2 which begins to introduce a lot of load to the system that the switch DEFINITELY can't handle. Whereas a C2S model resolves this by handling conflict resolutions at the server instead of the client and each client only has to resolve their own simulation with what hte server says is really happening. Further, you don't have the compounded lag that P2P has as you add more players, rather everybody's ping is their ping to the server. It's a good choice and a good fit for Smash imo. But Nintendo won't do it because we're not mad enough about it.

I've only ever played one online game of Smash in Ultimate. The entire time my framerate hovered around 10 fps, and it was enough to make me feel sick after a few short minutes (no ethernet, but I have very good internet speeds and almost never get motion sickness from games). On top of that, the player that won the match was constantly teabagging every time they stunned or ko'd another player. That one small interaction was enough for me to decide I never wanted to bother again. The completionist in me is forever sad though that I will have to stare at that blank "Online" challenges page until I die.

The worst case of bad online that I've experienced is this. I was playing with preferred rules off (idk why) and I matched into some doubles. It was me and a piranha plant against a falco and someone else I can't remember. We ended up winning, but barely. I decided to rematch so we could do a best of three. The only person that rematched was the falco. We matched into more doubles, in which me and the falco were on the same team. And you know what this kid did? He sd'd three times, took my stock, sd'd again, took my other stock, and sd'd once more. This left me with one stock against two people with three each. The opponents were good, so I don't think we would've beat them anyway, but it still hurts. And the worst part is, I can't report him! The only thing I could do is block him, which I did right away. Online sucks

The way I assume GSP "randomness" works: The skill level of smash players online resembles a bell curve: there isn't a lot of terrible players, a lot of average players, and a few really good players. But since each person online takes up one "slot" of GSP (or a bit more than 7 million people), the skill difference between people at 10,000 and 20,000 GSP is going to be a lot greater than the difference between people at 3,500,000 and 3,510,000. So, when you play games at very low or very high GSP, your GSP will probably not change that much, since you have only surpassed a relatively small amount of other online players. But, when you win (or lose) a game in the mid-range of GSP, you will have slightly surpassed (or fallen below) a lot more players, since that is where the bell curve is thickest. Then, the other part he describes at 19:20 (again, this is just my guess at how the system works): If you're at 5,000,000 GSP, and you're matched against an opponent at 5,000,001 GSP, then your skill level should be almost exactly the same. If you win, you can expect to gain (as an example) 200,000 GSP. If you lose the match, you can expect to lose the same amount of GSP. However, if you're at 5M GSP and you're matched against an opponent who's at 3M, he should be less skilled player than you, and you won't get as big of a reward for beating him; let's say you'd only gain 100,000 from winning that match. But, if you lose to him, that means that your GSP is too high for your skill level (to the system, at least) and you lose more GSP from it, let's say 700,000. Alternatively, if you have 5M GSP and you're matched against an opponent who's at 7M GSP, you will be rewarded a lot more from winning, and penalized less from losing. This is because you shouldn't really be expected to win against a player that much better than you, but if you do win, Nintendo wants to get your GSP up faster so you can start fighting people closer to your skill level. Let me know other thoughts you have!

Jeremy Maxwell just saying you said 5,000,000 GPS once and I’m not trying to be a dick with this correction but others could be. I think that what you said does help but what about when you play a character for the first time and lose I dunno about 1,000,000GSP and I’m at 5,500,000GSP before the loss but later with the same character (let’s say Pit) gets back to 5,500,000GSP and loses Pit then lost 300,000GSP and each time his opponent had 5,903,200GSP each time. Why would Pit lose more on his first match when his opponents and his own GSP didn’t alter when he played an opponent who had the same GSP when he climbed back up (after 10 matches he got back there)

​@@AverageHandle_ Thanks lol I didn't notice that! Just fixed it:) And to answer your question, I think it has to do with a stat called variance. I also play hearthstone, and they made a video explaining why the rating system rewards for their tournaments fluctuated so much; I tried to find the video and link it, but I can't find it unfortunately:( But basically, variance is the measure of how solidified a certain character is in its GSP. When you first start playing online with someone, like Pit, his variance is going to be very high, so a win or loss will change his GSP a lot. Once you play a lot of matches with him, the system has a much better idea of what your skill level with Pit really is, so a few lucky wins won't put you way above what your GSP should really be at with that character. This mechanic allows you to quickly get to a good GSP for you for different characters. Imagine if in every match, no matter your GSP, you gained/lost exactly 100,000. For a really good player, it would take tons of matches against players much worse than you to get up to 6,000,000+ GSP. Or, on the other hand, if you want to try playing a character you're really bad with, and your roster GSP is 7,000,000, it would take 50 or more matches against other good players, probably playing their mains, to get down to a level where you could practice and improve. Instead, your variance with a new character is high enough that you can quickly get to a GSP that reflects your skill level with that character, and then fluctuate less.

Why does everyone hate Smash Ultimate online? Hmm..let's see. We deal with: 1. Some of the worst netcode in gaming history 2. Fighting the most cancerous players 3. Getting no fulfillment from getting characters into Elite Smash 4. Dealing with abysmal lag 5. Losing over a couple hundred thousand GSP from losing *ONE* match 6. Gaining next to nothing in terms of GSP 7. Online Zelda 8. Online Sonic 9. Online Banjo and Kazooie 10. Online Joker 11. Online Rob 12. Online Cloud 13. Online Villager/Isabelle 14. Online Samus/Dark Samus 15. Battle Arenas, where people literally kick you out because they're salty sore losers 16. Having a Tournament mode that was good when it first came out, but now sucks because of the two stock rule 17. A horrible Preferred Rule system that doesn't work half the time 18. People who T-bag you when you accidentally SD 19. People who forfeit the game because they made a mistake 20. People who leave after one match in Elite Smash/Quickplay 21. The inability to change your character after a match in Elite Smash/Quickplay 22. The inability to choose a stage before and after a match in Elite Smash 23. The abundance of sword characters 24. Unintentional buffering 25. Input consumption Does that answer your question?

I only play online when playing with friends or the small online tournaments friends on discord host. Other than that, I play against LVL9 bots. The only time I played online for any other reasons than these, it was to see what it was like. And I hated it. I constantly got killed because of all the input delay, or because of lag, and occasionally because I was actually shit at the time. And it sucks because I wanna get good by maybe finding people better than me and seeing how I could improve, but I just can’t get used to online play because of how shitty it is. I wish Nintendo will eventually fix up the online stuff. Maybe they can add that in along with the new ARMS character, and show their fans they aren’t completely blind to things that very clearly need to be made better. Tbh, I’d even be fine with them removing online for a bit so they can work on making it better for their fans. But, sadly, my hopes for that are lower than my current GSP for my main.
