The server lag makes the game unenjoyable

Rivals 2

Haven't played in a month because of a thumb injury. I come back and already my second game has me on what's supposed to be a good connection, only 50 ping, but we have 2 delay and 4-5 rollback the whole time.

It makes so many things difficult or impossible to react to properly and just makes the game unenjoyable for me.

I've been spamming Street Fighter 6 this last month while my thumb healed (I use hitbox so I didn't need my one thumb), it uses pier to pier with server feedback, and I never have this much rollback. Same for GG strive, etc. Average 1-2 rollback and zero delay for over 95% of my matches on both games.

I can even play Melee with my bro who is over 2000 miles away and only have ~75 ping. Why is our connection on Melee giving me less rollbacks than my average Rivals game? We can play Sf6 or GG strive and have 1-2 rollback 0 delay from that distance, but the Rivals 2 servers mean I have to have 4-5 rollback constantly when I'm trying to play ranked?

Honestly I would rather more delay than to play at that much rollback. You can't see, you can't react, can't DI. It's not fun.
