[KCD1] Combat difficulty on console

I’m currently playing KCD1 on console, since I want to play KCD2 but never actually finished the first one. I’ve played a fair few hours on PC, but never tried it on console before now. Is it just me or is combat insanely more difficult on console compared to PC? I’m no combat master on PC, but I’ve won the Rattay tourney multiple times and almost always time my master strikes. On console, however, I had to give up on the very first fight in the tourney because I simply couldn’t time my master strikes, the time window seemed so insanely small. I did hit exactly one master strike though, so it’s not because I haven’t learned them. Is there something I’m missing, or do I just suck?
