Topic: Why does the PC tend to be ignored by fighting game developers?

Gaming controllers are easier to use than a keyboard for a fighting game, simply because there are fewer buttons to accidentally press.

That's my two bits on the discussion...

Why on earth would you be using the keyboard in the first place? O_o if you have a wired PS3 controller, it'll work on a PC, and I think the same holds true for a 360 controller.

Yes, right now you can do that, but i still remember street fighter for Amiga........you should have tried playing it with a two button joystick.....

Hahaha oh man, I remember when that came out! xD

Seriously though, I'm using not only my HRAP3SA but a wired PS3 controller (Afterglow I think) with my PC and both work like a charm!

Because it's more versatile, and due to recent developments in the next-gen consoles, less costly in the long run.
And I know a fair share of people who can kick ass with a keyboard, with one of them among us (hint: he has a Battler avatar).

Thanks for mentioning me, I really can do KoF Rugal's Specials in a keyboard with ease (its more or less like 2 consecutive soul steal motion and then punch), anyone that have patience can become a pro in fighting games with a keyboard

On-topic, I think they are afraid of something like modding and online dedicated servers. Maybe they even are paid by some of these console companies to dont launch these games for PC? Conspiracy theory anyone? lol

In my case I dont have a PC compatible controller anymore, but even when I did have one I preferred to use a keyboard for some strange reason.

Also.... THIS:

Ougon Musou Kyoku - Umineko no Naku Koro ni Doujin Fighter

we need to play it someday, this game have a online multiplayer capability using IP adresses, so even without a central server it will EVER works (like every game should ever do, but some companies simply dont include this option).

Well, News comes to PC Fightan Community....

It seems Devs are showing more love to the PC group,
Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 Full Burst was announced for PC
Ultra Street fighter also announced for PC
Skullgirls is in Beta for PC
Sadly this is all the New Fighters confirmed, there is also a Huge Chance Injustice gets bundled with DLC and Ported like MK9

Honestly, I've been seeing a recent spike in PC development, which is great... if only I can Stop playing League for one day to play any of my other games...

We need to play something sometime, some people said about Doom months ago but since nobody appeared I even unistalled it lol

Holy Shit. Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Naruto, and Now KoF

All's that's left is MvC, Guilty Gear, and Blazeblue

[VladCT]

I can't believe I forgot to mention Tekken and SoCal. Naruto's 3D and published by Namco Bandai, right?

[KaZudra]

True that.

[Lelygax]

Oh my god!!! Anbd how they revived Mature and Vice? Since it doesnt seems to be these Dream Match titles they are really alive right?

Also, I think that Im really going to pay for this game (it will be hard to get money, but its KoF, damn) if it have a online capability.

[VladCT]

Well, I think it was mentioned that they've become living shadows...or something.
