Peeker’s Advantage Physics: Round-Trip Latency and Angle Geometry: Edge Cases, Failure Modes, and Root-Cause Debugging

[Ryan Perez]

I’ve been chasing down why my crosshair placement reads late against corner-hold defenders, and I keep circling the round-trip latency math. If the server latches snapshots at 64Hz but an attacker’s movement input has to travel client→server→client before the defender’s stationary hit registration lands, aren’t we looking at a hard floor of ~30ms of peeker’s advantage? But every engine extrapolates differently—how much of the visible “extra head” I catch is real extrapolation versus my interpolation buffer delay stacking on top of
