This is a bit of a repost from my FGC.network account, but it's strange that Tekken 8 has had two big reveals with accompanying dev interviews and no one's even bothered to ask Harada about the netcode. not even asking if it'll be rollback, but just asking the basic question of "What will the netcode be, and will it allow for long distance games to be played smoothly"

I brought this up in one of my IRL discords and someone replied with "it's too early to ask about netcode" which is clearly false as most of my nerd (or computer bullying) friends can attest to, but we're like what? a few months out from the first reveal? Did Tasty Steve ask Harada about the netcode when he was jumping up and down shaking Sajam like a dried martini?

Why is no one asking Harada about the netcode? Is it taboo information? Is it a condition of the interviews that netcode is off limits? Has Harada made the best ever netcode known to man, but it loses its magic once you speak its name? like a P2P version of R*mplestiltskin?

We all know Harada probably knows jack shit about netcode, but it's important someone asks about it, it's important that we as a fighting game community and even fighting game buying customers know what to expect in the netcode department for this new entry. I know the pandemic has been lifted from these lands (praise brandon) /s, but even in a post covid world it's important that we have good netcode in our games.
