So I have two fight sticks that I hardly use in my living room but now that I have a PS5 and SEX I’m thinking to set up a monitor and the sticks on a desk and make it into a dedicated Arcade setup.

I could keep both but I’d need to buy another fight stick or fuck it and build a PC.

PS4 Exclusives:
SFV
KOF14
Blazblue
Guilty Gear

Xbox Pros:
Killer Instinct
VF5
Soul Caliber 2

PC:
Fightcade

But to run KI I’d need a beefier hardware setup and I don’t know if Virtua Fighter emulation is decent without good hardware.

 

[Elcid]

Playstation, not even a contest.

 

[MrMephistoX]

Playstation, not even a contest.

But no KI or VF5?

 

[Nikana]

But no KI or VF5?

KI is by far my fav fighting game but unless thats your go to game its not even a contest. The amount of fighting games that are on PS4 that simply arent on Xbox is a lot.

 

[zcaa0g]

But no KI or VF5?

And Soul Calibur 1 and 2.

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

I dunno, how many fighting games do you need? Personally I'd stick w the console that has many/most of your top 5 choices.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Just build a pee cee mate. Between released games and emulation you'll be covered for ages.

 

[LeftThumbstick]

Killer Instinct (Xbox One) is so damn good, i'm surprised they didn't go for KI2. I hope they do cause i still play it to this day.

 

[Bruno_Arrais85]

PS4 => More players
PC => Best performance and graphics (plus fightcade)
Xbox => This one doesn't have some of the best fighting games (No SFV, no Guilty Gear, Granblue, etc)

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

PS4 only if you must have the largest online playerbases.

Otherwise it's PC no contest, best versions of fighting games, and it has by far the largest library of available fighting games.

 

[Hazzard4life]

Get yourself a Saturn.

 

[abstract alien]

Killer Instinct (Xbox One) is so damn good, i'm surprised they didn't go for KI2. I hope they do cause i still play it to this day.

I'll probably buy a Series X if they do make another. It's the only fighter I've fully enjoyed this gen other than Street Fighter V.

 

[teezzy]

Build a PC, not even a question. The options are limitless

Especially when MAME is involved or fightcade

fightcade-web

[Rean no Kiseki]

Neither if you're getting a PS5 since it plays all PS4 games.

Guilty Gear XRD/Strive.
BlazBlue.
Granblue Fantasy Versus.
Street Fighter 5.
Tekken 7.
Under Night In Birth.
KOFXIV.
DoA5LR/6.
Soul Calibur 6.
Samurai Shodown.

 

[Xenon]

With the Xbox you get all the 360 and OG Xbox fighting games as well

 

[RAIDEN1]

Xbox UNDOUBTDELY you have Virtua Fighter 5, Double Dragon Neon, Killer Instinct, Soul Calibur, Streets of Rage 4 (granted that is on PS4 as well) Guardian Heroes, Fight Night,

 

[basic_element]

Don't go PC if you plan to play onlne. Console games have shit multiplayer communities on PC and fighting games are the worse. Maybe Tekken 7 is ok. You will be one of those poor saps that begs for crossplay with console when every new fighting game comes out. All the old ones are dead online or have very small communities. I would go with PS5 if you can. If it's just for old games, then I guess PS4 is ok. Xbox if you like old games.

 

[ReBurn]

i have to give it to PS4. SFV was a shitshow, though.

 

[Craig of War]

PC and get a little known gem of a game called Shaolin vs Wutang not many people know about it but it 1 of my favorites.

 

[the_master]

I am a console man. Love playing on consoles but what you are describinc screams "emulator pc"

Build an arcade cabinet with a PC and launchbox or attract mode.

Once you are there, put some other arcade games besides fighting games as well.

 

[molasar]

Xbox UNDOUBTDELY you have Virtua Fighter 5, Double Dragon Neon, Killer Instinct, Soul Calibur, Streets of Rage 4 (granted that is on PS4 as well) Guardian Heroes, Fight Night,

Is not an arcade version of VF5 avialable in one of Yakzua games on PS4/PC?

 

[JeloSWE]

PC is best for Tekken 7, then Playstation, last XBOX.

 

[.Pennywise]

Only one console has Killer Instinct.

Or get a PC and play any you want to.

 

[Warablo]

If you like input lag, you're gonna love Sony. Even some of the top fighting game players wish it kept the tourny's on Xbox or Sony fixed their shit.

 

[Wesleyalucard]

The Xbox D-pad is garbage for fighting games.

 

[manfestival]

Get yourself a Dell

 

[Griffon]

PC is where it's at.

You've got every game new and old, console exclusives too (SFV, KI). Input lag is much muuuch better, it supports all kinds of controllers, and, most of all, playing online is free forever.

 

[Garnox]

PS has always been my go to for fighting games. The controller is better for command inputs IMO.

Although I feel PC has better sales for fighting games, so using a PS controller on PC is a great alternative if you already have a good rig.

 

[alabtrosMyster]

I say the SNES, all you really need is Super Street fighter II

 

[Mobile Suit Gooch]

Neither if you're getting a PS5 since it plays all PS4 games.

Guilty Gear XRD/Strive.
BlazBlue.
Granblue Fantasy Versus.
Street Fighter 5.
Tekken 7.
Under Night In Birth.
KOFXIV.
DoA5LR/6.
Soul Calibur 6.
Samurai Shodown.

Yeah.

I'm getting Strive on PS5 tho

 

[diffusionx]

Based and redpilled.

 

[yurinka]

PS4 if you want to play online with the big majority of the players in most fighting games.

 

[Pimpbaa]

Neither if you're getting a PS5 since it plays all PS4 games.

DoA5LR/6.

Samurai Shodown.

This plus the fighting games the PS5 eventually will get will have near cartridge level loading times for matches (and what I assume are significant decreases in load times on PS4 fighting games).

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

PS4 I feel would be my first choice. It also has the largest player base/community for fighting games to my knowledge and a large amount of fighting games on par with PC. I also think it has the best controller for fighting games.

PC has a good amount as well that will be the best looking and performing versions, but the player base/community is probably considerably smaller than PS4. If you play fighters online often, that could make a difference.

 

[Celcius]

PC has amazing console game support these days and will run them great (even at 4K with the right hardware).

 

[RAIDEN1]

Is not an arcade version of VF5 avialable in one of Yakzua games on PS4/PC?

Even so nothing beats being able to play VF5 straight out of the box so to speak.....was a missed opportunity they should have included Virtua Fighter 3 instead, to this day a Dreamcast Exclusive..

 

[MrMephistoX]

Fuck it kept em both this is awesome! Stand up arcade.

 

[lock2k]

PC has both KI and SFV and emulators. And I think maybe VF5 via emulation.

 

[petran79]

For older fighting games, PC, no contest.

SNK and Arcsys officially added rollback netcode to kof2002um (possibly to kof98um later as well) and guilty gear accent core r+ and those games are unlikely to be ported to new consoles because companies want to promote their newer installment instead. Even Melty Blood has cccaster for rollback.

Also Discord and Steam guarantee a steady player base without the need to pay for online.

 

[MrMephistoX]

PC has both KI and SFV and emulators. And I think maybe VF5 via emulation.

Yeah settling for MacBook with fightcade for now I already own both the consoles and not like selling them $150 for each is going to get me a PC that performs better than my PS5 so I’m happy with the setup for now: just got an HDMI switcher so it’s pretty seamless on my work standing desk setup.

 

[GreatnessRD]

I chose PS4 by accident (Guess the mouse didn't register my click) But build a PC and experience the power and low temps in all its glory.

And then grab KOF13 Steam Edition because reasons

 

[Stilton Disco]

PS5 if you want the biggest online community and most games, PC if money is no object, Xbox if you really have to play Killer Instinct.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

For older fighting games, PC, no contest.

Pc also has all modern fighting games and they are all the best versions. In sheer amount and quality PC is unmatched.
Consoles only have larger online playerbases as a pro.

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

I'd say Ps4 but barring like 4 games most of em are also available on PC.

 

[ParanoidAndroidz]

I would say ps5, Xbox, then pc.
PS5 will have a bigger player base until cross play is made a standard.
Xbox has K.I..
Pc has better performance if you can afford it. However Pc seems to get shafted alot by smaller player base and lack of support for Pc from the developers, like patches rolling out on time or even happening.

 

[Birdo]

Neo-Geo AES.

 

[SNG32]

I was PS4 for fighters but I made the shift to PC. PC can literally play almost every single fighting game. You get to play all the PS4 and Xbox one fighting games and If you have a decent rig you can run Virtua fighter 5, persona arena and a bunch of other fighters that weren’t released through RPCS3. Plus with other emulators you can access a lot of fighters. Also Shaolin vs Wutang 2 is only for PC and that’s an awesome fighting game.

But if Online is a big factor then a PS5 or PS4.

Killer instinct can be played on PC
