Are PC players better than console players at maneuvering ?

I think pc players are better because killers from that platform hit me from angles I never thought existed lol.

    Survivor? No idea.

    Killer? Yes. Without a doubt.

    I would think that all mouse players are better at maneuvering than joystick players. That said, I don't care. I grew up with controllers and play all my PC games with a 360 controller.

    As a killer I notice the PC surve can hug corners in loops better, making one or even two more laps. Try as I might I cannot match that looping with my controller.

    It is also slower to turn and look behind as a console killer.

    I can understand that. I have a killer gaming rig but I still play 2d platformers, fighting games, and flight-based games on a controller or joystick. There's just some things that don't feel right on a keyboard to me no matter how long I've been a PC main.

    Oof. I couldn't even imagine playing a fighting game on the PC.

    As someone who has over 1000 hrs of experience with both controller and M&K, the answer is yes.

    Skill is on the individual, but system wise pc has tighter turning

    Inherently? No. However, a controller has more limitations on preciseness. So, odds are that between a console player and a M&K player of equal skill, the M&K player will have an advantage.

    PC players on average have more control of their sensitivity and camera than console so...maybe.

    It's actually one of the more 'optimal' ways of playing certain fighting games, especially Tekken. Movement feels so seemless with keyboard inputs over a controller D-Pad or an arcade stick it's not even close. Might not be the most comfortable for a ton of people but it's technically one of the best.

    I like to play survivor. I´m not very handy and I can´t do a propper 360º on PC. But with a controller is veeery ez. Anyone feels the same?


    In terms of looping, as somebody already said, I think you can be more precise on approaching the walls and looping with a mouse rather than on console.

    Sensitivity settings and overall movement is always going to be better on M&K. I am easily able to 360 console killers at least once a match for the most part but PC killers have a much easier time flicking their camera to avoid getting spun.

    Thats because of the FPS.


    360s are actually way easier on controller imo.

    I play on both btw.

    I can kind of speak to this as someone who plays PC with both inputs.

    Mouse and keyboard killer will always have a huge advantage over a controller killer. Controllers simply can't keep up with the combination of sensitivity and precision that a good mouse offers. An accurate Nurse at 3400 DPI will be 10x better than a similarly skilled Nurse on a controller.

    For survivor, the difference isn't *that* big. There are quite a few tournament survivors on PC who actually use a controller. You can turn faster/360 faster with a mouse and keyboard, but that really only becomes necessary against certain killers, and it's not guaranteed to work in the first place. The movement is more abrupt/snappy on mouse and keyboard at a higher DPI.

    As a console player who mainly plays Killer it's so much harder trying to catch a PC player during 360/180s. You basically have to bait it out and try to counter it by not committing to an attack or back peddling. You can still catch PC players, but it's significantly harder than chasing a console survivor. Console survivors tend to make much wider turns when trying to 360 you so it's very predictable and really easy to land a hit especially when you're used to playing against PC players.

    PC gets better frames. It can also pick the input method. So yes. If a controller is better, it can use a controller. If mkb is better, it can do that. It can also combine the two. All of this on top of generally better performance and the ability to change settings.
