Justin Wong discovers a game-breaking glitch in King of Fighters after the rollback netcode release. While testing the newly rollback-enabled version, he finds a specific exploit that crashes the game entirely—a significant technical flaw that undermines the stability of the online update. Beyond the glitch itself, Wong uses the moment to highlight a broader observation about grappler viability in the game, suggesting that the character class remains fundamentally disadvantaged in the current meta. The video balances technical discovery with character-design commentary, showing both the bug's destructive potential and Wong's perspective on why certain character types struggle to compete at any level. For players invested in King of Fighters or curious about early rollback implementation issues, this clip documents a critical stability problem that developers would need to address, while also offering insight into how top players evaluate character balance in fighting games.
Rollback is out for The King of Fighters 98 and while the game feels pretty nice to play, there is one glitch I found that completely crashes the game. It's only further proving that no one should play grapplers in this game! Need gaming lessons?!?! Book a lesson with me and let me help you become GDLK Shout outs to my editor(s) ► EC LaForce: h
