Street Fighter 5 Tournament Ditches PlayStation for PC

The upcoming Capcom Cup, featuring the best players in Street Fighter 5, will only be played on computers. This was revealed from a Capcom Fighters Twitter post:

No hardware details are provided, but the note says the monitors will use a 144Hz refresh rate. This is expected to reduce input lag, the time it takes for the system to process a button press on a keyboard or controller and display the action on the screen. Low latency in games is a must for professional players where a missed shot can make a big difference in the game.

That is why the tournament will not use PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, the delay in which leaves much to be desired. At a tournament during the COVID-19 pandemic where PlayStation 4 was chosen, many players switched to PC as in-person events were canceled and most of the tournaments took place online, says Street Fighter 5 pro player Arman Hanjani, who is also known under the nickname Phenom.

“The last few years we’ve all played on PC for the most part,” says Khanjani, “that makes the game feel better.”.

It’s probably the fact that the game runs better on PC that was the catalyst for Capcom’s decision. Other prof. players like Arturo Sanchez have long been pushing for tournaments to move from PlayStation to PC.
