A pass ? Moves' recovery and the overall gameplay system uses "frames" (1/60) ... That's why fighting games are usually (as in 99% of fighting games) locked at 60 fps.

Yes because it needs to be. Humans can barely detect any difference anyway. 1 frame @ 60fps = 16.7ms.

Fighting games have locked frame rates out of necessity. The players would much rather describe moves by frame count than by milliseconds.

False.

It's a part of the gameplay. You'll here things like 3-frame jab, or 4-frame advantage. It's actually part of how the game plays. It's not like a shooter. Part of the being able to play is knowing the information. Like some combos can be one frame links and it's essential that both sides are locked at 60 fps. It's as much a part of the game as it is a graphical thing.

moves are recorded in frame delay so 60fps is necessary.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ all fgs are locked at 60

You can tell he's new to fighting games. They are traditionally locked at 60fps for multiple reasons which you can use your head for. The game is bound to frame data aka the frame rate it plays at and it would completely break if you doubled it.

Good example is the Dark souls 1 60fps mod, you take double damage because the damage is bound to frame rate, which traditionally ran at 30fps. Every, and I mean EVERY fighting game currently out there runs at no more than 60 frames...

lol

This is like the one game genre that needs a locked FPS at 60.

I bet OP is just a troll

It's an outdated thing and should change. If moves takes the same time in milliseconds, it doesn't matter that it outputs at 60 or 144 fps. It would just mean lower input lag for everyone, even people with 60 hz displays.

But then checking attack stats / advantage / etc. would be a lot more tedious because you have to count in milliseconds instead of frames.
