That would be because I have next to no idea what ARTS referred to. Can't meaningfully comment on a genre I don't know anything about.Tanakh said:
Well, now you're clearly getting into a grey area here. Your point about keyboards seems a little strange (and from what I understand of fighting games, a little towards the realms of cheating).
Also, calling a device such as the hitbox a 'keyboard' is really stretching the definition.
The optimal controls for fighting games, historically, have been arcade style joysticks. These have existed for consoles for quite some time. The hitbox seems to be a variant of one of these.
But I've never heard of such a device being considered a 'keyboard'. If anything, they're closer in design and construction generally to a controller. (Game controller is an incredibly broad term by the way. Have a look through the history of them to get an idea of everything that it encompasses.)
I mean, by the reasoning you're using, you can start to argue that a keyboard and game controller are the same thing. After all, both typically contain grids of buttons, which create signals when pressed. (I've more than once configured a console game controller to output keyboard key presses.)
Basically, you're redefining the term 'keyboard', to include things which are actually part of the classification of 'game controllers'.
But perhaps you've become so accustomed to the standardised console controller design that you've actually forgotten what a game controller actually is.
Racing games, arguably. (Though a proper racing wheel and pedals would be preferable, which is of course neither a game controller or keyboard.) Fighting games, taking into account what I've just said. Platformers. (Though I can't say I've ever come across one that counts as an e-sport.).
But anyway, given what you class under 'keyboard', I'm not surprised you make such odd statements.
I guess you see something new everyday.
