    Slow Down Consoles

    Some characters and attacks are too fast to react to on console. I play on XB1 and characters like PK and Valk are incredibly difficult to block because their lights are almost impossible to react to due to lag between the t.v, inputs, and console itself. I've read that you can get special monitors or controllers to help reduce this issue but everyone knows that consoles are a casual gaming platform. There are very few people who invest money into console gaming to improve their performance when PC is clearly the more hardcore gaming platform. There is no reason that this incredibly small minority should set the standard for what is considered reachable on consoles.

    That said, I think that attacks all across the board need to be slowed down. By how much, I don't know, but it needs to happen. I'm tired of eating PK lights without being able to do anything and sick of zone attacks that happen faster than I can blink. It's not fair and it's taking away from many console gamer's experiences.

    it has to do with the game being locked at 30 fps on consoles while pc users can get it up to 200fps so more details in a second.

    Then it needs to be adjusted. I wonder how many Developers play on the console version. They must not if they can't see the difference. It's insane. I hate that I'm getting cheesed on so badly by these characters and there is nothing skillful about it. I might just stop playing till they fix it. No reason to play a broken game.

    yeah i know how it feels. It is especially annoying when you play versus characters that can zone flicker you all day like the orochi and his millisecond up indicator into side slash. But hey, conquerer totally needs a nerf XD. Because this move is totally legit https://gfycat.com/gifs/detail/CavernousBowedBasenji

    well the conq needed a nerf, but i agree that AT LEAST the second light attack of pk should be slowed down and maybe a bit more of recovery between the first 2 lights attack and the second, third(etc) chains.
