Hard to show the context behind this as the tiktok account in question(https://www.tiktok.com/@grifgreen20) as well as the twitter accounts that reposted the videos have all been made private.

All rollback fighting games are pure p2p, there is no server for gameplay, just matchmaking and leaderboards. I'm not sure if what you would describe would work, it would at minimum double the ping between the two players, and in games that set variable rollback windows based on ping that delay may grow exponentially until a disconnect/desync.

Also I think no one has attempted to cheat like this because it's much easier to cheat with a program that 'reacts' to graphical cues (such auto-block bots are pretty common in the most recent Tekken and Street Fighter entries). There are some very rare moves that are impossible for a program to react to like this (usually '0-frame grabs') which hit on the exact frame the input is entered, I'm not sure what if anything the current cheaters do about those.

It's weird how consistent this claim is when the ad stuff (which I personally never used when I tried Brave) was always opt-in and always an advertised feature part of Brave's (possibly misguided) mission to change the landscape of internet advertising.

Not only does Twitter frequently verify users that are not noteworthy (online or off) or likely to be impersonated, the last I had seen they hadn't even addressed the absurdly common fake Elon Musks shilling crypto scams. Even if this has been fixed since the last time I saw it, it's much more likely that they just trigger manual review of any account that uses a name/avatar similar to Musk instead of actually fixing the real problems.

The bad behavior of the blue ticks is widely recognized independent of ideological bend, and I predict that many of the accounts of actual value will wear these scarlet letters as badges of honor if this system actually gets implemented.
