Before the global COVID-19 pandemic occurred, most Street Fighter 5 tournaments were played with the PlayStation 4 version. Because competitors can participate in online events using the PC version, players have been more aware of the exclusive problems of PlayStation 4.
Thanks to the efforts of FGC Translated, we have recently been able to hear the opinions of BST | Daigo Umehara on the differences between PlayStation 4 and PC versions of Street Fighter 5: Champion Edition.
“By the way, I played this game on PlayStation 4 today. That was a completely different game,” Daigo stated. “It’s so different that learning to play this game on your computer makes you weaker in the PlayStation 4 version. It could actually hurt your PC game. It’s as different as Ultra Street Fighter 4 on Xbox and PlayStation 4. “
Overall, the PC version is often considered the top port of Street Fighter 5. It’s interesting to hear Daigo that the two feel like completely different games. Daigo was even able to explain a specific situation in which the outcome of a match could change depending on the version of the game being played.
“On the PlayStation 4, I messed up the punch against Guile’s air that was crouching,” Daigo continued. “It’s been a while since this happened. My reaction was good, but it still took me a strong punch. I was like ‘Oh yeah. That happened before.’
The first half of the video makes Daigo talk about the desperate things Kage is looking for. Stop by at 5:50 to listen to Daigo’s dialogue on comparisons between PC and PlayStation 4.
