SNK has announced the PC release of World Heroes Perfect, the classic 1995 fighting game, as part of its NEO GEO Premium Selection series. This version includes significant improvements such as rollback netcode for stable online matches, multiplayer rooms for up to nine participants, and a practice mode with speed adjustment and hitbox display.
Rollback and tools for the competitive player 🎮
The game incorporates rollback netcode, a technology that reduces latency in online matches by predicting movements and correcting network errors. Additionally, it offers tournament support with single, double, or round robin elimination systems. The practice mode allows adjusting game speed and displaying hitboxes, facilitating frame study and combo optimization. These features aim to provide a more stable and competitive experience.
Revival on steroids for arcade veterans ⚔️
Finally, arcade purists can set aside their home emulators and enjoy World Heroes Perfect with decent netcode. Of course, get ready for the first online opponent to remind you that, after nearly thirty years, you still don't know how to execute the super move of whichever character. At least now you'll have hitboxes to complain with technical justification.
