No. You are inferior to me because you bought a different gaming rectangle than I.

Why would you have fighting games on consoles?

Why would you have fighting games on consoles?

it doesn't really matter for home play, but in tournament play there was an infamous incident of sf5 having trouble recognizing drivers for certain sticks and pads while the tournament was underway so that's definitely a reason

of course this does not matter to 99% of the population anyway

Because for the most part (cept for sfv) pc communities on pc are terrible in conparison to the pc playerbase.

PC + console crossplay for everything, even FPS

Crossplay definitely should be a thing for more fighting games, given how small and fragmented their communities are already.

There's really no reason not to have it, it's not like PC would have framerate advantage of anything

This sorta applies for EA and COD games too. PC communities are pretty dead.

I've never really had much issue finding FPS games on PC, but for fighters it's really noticeably bad.

I think it depends on the type of FPS.

Like stuff like Overwatch, Rainbow Six Siege and Destiny 2 are fine

Battlefront 2 and Titanfall 2 not so much.

Well I and many others have noticed some net code compatibility issues with SFV. Thankfully, majority play it on console these days, so it's not as prominent of an issue.

You can get or make fight sticks for PCs. Hell, I'm looking into making a custom controller for a simulator I play so I have a better layout than trying to remember keys on the keyboard. Or in some cases combinations.

Given the type of people I see playing FPS games on PC versus what I've seen and the reputation of COD players, this isn't really a shock.

It's not but it's worth noting. Console and PC markets still have their differences. What's popular on one doesn't mean it'll be popular on the other.

This is very true. PC also tends to have a wider selection, so any player base could end up watered down. Granted, Sturgeon's Law applies, but the selection is there. Of course, if you're a fan of strategy games of any sort, RTS, turn based, 4x, ect., you want to stick to PC too. Halo Wars had some awful controls. It also wasn't very fun.
