I know some good PSP games that got a playable netcode to them if that's what you are interested about like Shin Budokai 1/2 , the BlazBlue games and some arena fighters like Marvel Nemesis and Tales Of VS.
They are mostly full speed no matter what the distance you are from the other player/s .
But yeah the majority if not all 2D fighters require a good distance because they all use lockstep netcode (it was before the era of rollback netcode).

The issue is with the ad-hoc netcode itself. Running locally, it is fine - the minute you want to connect to someone even a 3 hr drive away, it begins to drop all kinds. By simplifying the packet-loss to only screen capture and input capture, it makes this a null-issue.

I doubt anyone is looking at implementing rollback into the psp's adhoc network communication protocol, but that would be certainly be ideal.

However, it'll probably going to be costly to rent a cloud with GPU

The cloud-parsec community would argue the performance gains over stadia are multitudes better. Not even worth comparing it to the overhead involved with Stadia connections.

Ah yes lag and slowdown is not the only thing that is affected but also input.
Over the internet the input could get many drops and be unreliable.
TBH this problem could be on both Parsec and the ad-hoc that PPSSPP uses but maybe Parsec could be better with it.
