Because those brand names are paying influencers to promote their broken games and ignore other ones giving an unfair advantage.

Let me rephrase. A cell phone/mobile device would be capable of doing something, but I don't think it would be feasible or practical for the FBNeo team to make an emulator or program for mobile device just for the purposes of viewing replays.

Fightcade replays are still data that requires the emulator itself to run in order to show them, so no, this wouldn't be possible.

Well it occurs to me that the whole "Switch is underpowered" meme has permeated its way into becoming fact when the console is capable of quite a lot in terms of performance, maybe not at the PS5/XSX level, but if the Switch wasn't capable of running these fighting games, they wouldn't been made for the console in the first place. I'm not saying that every console should be replaced with a Switch, but it seems like specious reasoning to me to say that the Switch isn't viable when it hasn't actually been used in a tournament environment.

Are you basing this claim on facts or assumptions?

That seems like way too much of a hassle for a TO to have to go through several PCs, install fgcOS, install the games, turning on the security features, applying the updates, shutting them off again just to eliminate 4-5 frames of input lag. I'm sure there are other less tedious ways to efficiently run an offline tournament on PCs without sacrificing security features.

EDIT: That's also not mentioning someone could also potentially mess with said PCs offline as well that those security features could also protect against.

But games have to download new balance patches/updates/characters all the time. So it's pretty much unavoidable.

Trying to 'debloat' Windows 10/11 for the purposes of gaming is simply a bad idea to begin with because it removes several security features and patches from Windows that a person would need if they were to use said PC to go online.
