Why is the game 60 fps on PC? Its killing my eyes

[Zen]

I'm already thinking about a refund. I didn't notice it on videos, but I have a 170Hz screen and it's really messing with my head, it feels so bad. The worse is the character movements, its like im going to throw up.

Anyone with a 144+hz screen? How do you play?

[Mao was right about Landlords]

Fighting games are 60fps because player movement and attacks are tied to the framerate. That is why it is locked at 60fps. A move has certain frame start up, active frames and recovery. It has been that case since the start of fighting games.

This is a fighting game and the game logic is tied to the frame rate. Also, with the game's keyframed animation, there would be very little benefit to using interpolation to increase the frame rate.

Holy whines. I've been playing long enough where steady 60 fps wasn't even a thing. And when 60fps was a thing everyone loved it. Now all the tech nerds be 60fps shamin. Stop being so dramtic.

On top of the fact that's just how fighting games are, it's also an anime fighter. You'll notice the intros run at a much slower framerate; that's not because the engine can't handle faster speed, but rather because it makes the animations feel more anime.
60fps is generally more than fast enough for games that don't have the sudden full screen movement that you'd get flickshotting in an fps.

SamSho announced a 120fps function at some point, not sure if it's implimented yet. When it was announced people immediately started freaking out because of what it means for frame data.

Either way, framerate increase wouldn't help this game regardless due to how it was animated.

Along with what was stated above, I believe Tekken 7 has a mod for 120 FPS, and I think Fantasy Strike can exceed 60 FPS by default.
But I'm also pretty sure those games aren't doing keyframe based animation, and interpolation would actually make a difference with them.

I didn't feel the same playing Street fighter or Tekken at all, is it really like this for every fighting game?

Yes.
This is what it looks like if you try to play a 60 FPS logic game at 120 FPS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqyWfwJstGw

Unplayable, same as trying to play at 30 FPS.

I believe both of those games have smoother animation (but they're still 60 FPS, at least without mods), because unlike Guilty Gear, they aren't trying to resemble 2D art styles.

Guilty Gear actually animates closer to 20fps. So it isn't quite like this in other games; they choppy animation was on purpose and is a design choice. The idea is to make it look like a sprite game in motion.

hey dont feel bad, you having a badass monitor basically means that if you press a button first, yours comes out first via the response time.
