Many gamers are attached to older games that have shaped their lives. A well-known Twitch streamer and YouTuber wants to revive one of his favorite games and is now offering a reward to his fans. They just have to improve
the online mode.
Which Twitch streamer is it? Many fans of fighting games are probably familiar with Maximilian Dood (real name Maximilian Christiansen). On Twitch, he has 1.3 million followers and an average of 5,600 viewers (via TwitchTracker). He has been posting videos on YouTube since 2007 and has gathered 1.87 million subscribers to date.
He focuses not only on new fighting games in his streams and videos but also enjoys revisiting older ones. In one stream, he set up a special reward for his community, offering $10,000 (about €8,500) to whoever can improve the online mode of Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3.
The experience of Marvel vs. Capcom 3 should finally be better
What should be done for the money? In a Twitch stream from April 11, Maximilian Dood talked for about an hour about Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, one of his favorite games (source: YouTube). He casually offered a reward of $10,000 for a rollback netcode for Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom.
Rollback netcode is the most convenient form of online system
to simulate the experience of an offline match in a fighting game online. When you press a button, it is executed as quickly as possible without waiting for the opponent’s signal because the game itself anticipates what the next action will be.
With rollback netcode, you don’t have to wait for both players to perform an action, which reduces the lag. This is essential for precise and fast games like fighting games to guarantee a strong online experience. Nowadays, many new fighting games utilize rollback netcode.
Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, being a game from 2011 (released on Steam in 2017), does not have this system, which is why the normal online mode is not particularly popular among fans. The Twitch streamer wants to encourage the modding community with his reward to implement rollback netcode for the game.
This would make the game more durable in the future as one could have a decent experience online without attending an offline tournament. Rollback netcode would not make the game popular again now, but it would be a way to better maintain the community. Currently, fans of the game often use the application Parsec to simulate local play online.
Maximilian Dood has already helped with a major mod
Maximilian Dood has already shown in the past what a big fan he is of the Marvel vs. Capcom
series. The latest installment, Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite
, was rather unpopular among fans, but in 2024 the mod project Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite and Beyond
started. He collaborated with several modders to visually change the game but also to implement new modes and balance updates (via RollingStone).
Previously, in 2023, he offered $5,000 to modders who could implement the possibility of adding new characters as slots in the character selection of Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 (via eventhubs.com).
If you are skilled with mods, you might be able to earn some extra money. Maximilian Dood is not only known for his love of fighting games. He is also a huge fan of everything related to Final Fantasy VII: YouTuber in tears when he learns the impact he has on Final Fantasy VII Remake
