My history is a little hazy but wasn't rollback as a solution driven by the community. Maybe it was SF3 online emulation or something? Or was it Smash Melee

Rollback was added by the community to Melee. With in-game matchmaking. It's a combination of a modded Dolphin + cheats to mod the ISO itself.

Sounds about right. Never was part of the Melee community but I was always impressed at their ingenuity to figure out multiplayer in the face of Nintendo's active community hostility and bonkers multiplayer UX

No, the first major game to use it and push it was Skullgirls.

An exemplary example of how to make a great game. Unfortunately it has been though a series of unfortunate events and never gets the recognition it deserves

"Series of unfortunate events" is an understatement, but I would say it gets due recognition--it's an indie game over a decade old and still earns its slot at major fighting game tournaments and (after said events' hopeful end) still has support from developers and community alike.
