The difference is not the genre of game, but whether it is played in person or online.

In-person fighting game tournaments are generally free of cheaters, just like in-person FPS and MOBA tournaments. The few who try to cheat in these scenarios are quite obvious, and instantly caught.

Meanwhile, online fighting game tournaments are plagued by lag switches, macros, defensive overlays, frame data mods, etc.

Don't forget the CSGO LAN cheating scandals where players were loading cheats into their mouse RAM
