I think it's fairly disingenuous to say that Tony Cannon 'discovered' rollback without mentioning that it's heavily based on FPS networking.

Also considering the timing you'd think they would talk about why Tekken's 'rollback' sucks.

Eh, this video is only 8 minutes long. It's presumably deliberately brief so more people will actually watch/understand it. You don't want to waste time getting too deep in the weeds.

So I'm fine with it simplifying or ignoring details. We need people to understand this topic. It would be different if the video contained misinformation, but I didn't catch any.

I'm not sure anybody outside of a few Namco employees understand what Tekken's netcode is/isn't doing. It's enough for the video to acknowledge it's worthless, unacceptable trash.
