So it's safe to say that fighting games just aren't popular on PC for some reason. Is there something about consoles, other than that tournaments are played on consoles, that draws players to playing fighting games there?

And the 30k peak is giving me flashbacks to Artifact's (Valve's DOTA 2 Card Game that completely failed) release, which had a 60k peak, but died out very quickly.
Arcsys was talking about adding crossplay but didn't want to give an ETA so who knows.

Natural use of controllers there, along with fighting games not coming to PC in an official capacity very much at all until recently. It used to be that if you wanted to play official FG titles at home, you had to buy consoles. PC of course had MAME and pirated ROMs, but that's not something the real companies would want to get near.
Isn't Strive the game where the original VA stood down because BLM even though the character wasn't black? Trust English dubs to make a political fiasco over unrelated bullshit.
I do love how easily you could twist her resignation statement.
"White actress resigns, insists inhuman character must be played by a black woman"

I have to wonder if she just didn't get a call to come back to begin with and just went with her willingly resigning to save face

Mate, it was a retarded statement. She insisted the character was black and therefore must be voiced by a black person. Even though it's not even human, and this is in a department where pretending to be something you're not is pretty much the main goal.

She did it because she wanted everyone to say what a virtuous being of charity she was, when simply saying she was stepping down and actively promoting the new actress would have been enough.

To me, I think that most fighting game players who are going to hang around longer than a month (I,e: competitive players) already have a console. Fighting games don't always get a simultaneous PC release, so you get a certain amount of time where the console has exclusivity and most FG players will want to play during that time to try and stay ahead.

Also bear in mind that fighting games are one of the worst genres to play on lag, so offline is greatly preferred. Carting around a desktop to a local or your friend's place isn't as easy as doing the same thing with your console.

PC games typically have the highest rate of hacks/cheats/nonsense in most multiplatform games - Fighting Games included.

Most tournaments are run on consoles so there isn't a compelling reason to have a PC setup that you may or may not be able to adapt to consoles in the future (like Fight Sticks or whatever).

You only mentioned Baiken because youtuber nerd man likes Baiken

Dizzy or Jan are superior.
Real men love Bridgett, no wait.....

Personally I've been partial to Baiken since an online Baiken Slayer thrashed Max Dood to the point that he dropped the game.

He was an innocent baiken player since the psx days until a corrupted and evil slayer appeared and ruined his life

Is there a story reason why slayer isn't in strive, because I just find it funny he's just not there after Max seethed about that fateful match

What was his reaction on realizing that Nagoryuki is basically Slayer with crazier buttons and a suicide meter?

Why are people saying the game sold awful and that Strive is the nail in the coffin for the series? I mean they did 300k which was probably the series high water mark. What figures are they pulling that opinion from?
