Lvl 9 CPU doing dirty tricks...

[nevershootme]

(I don't know if it was already discussed or not but w/e if it did then delete it)

So... One day you play against a CPU on lvl 9 and you notice that it's doing some dirty tricks to take you out...

here's one i've experienced. I was Olimar and the CPU was Pikachu. And so... I get sent far out and the CPU decides to edgeguard me and even pulled a thunder on my face to prevent me from recovering.

another moment was when one of the CPU characters somehow powershielded a multi-hit smash attack, and I mean all the hits~! (I forgot who i was playing and such, but it did happen to me...)

hell.. even the tactics i make with some characters (R.O.B. and Marth for example) mimicked the same tactics...

so yea... share your stories and experiences of the CPU pulling odd tricks to take you out..

pikachu did the same exact thing to me when i was Olimar, only he did it repeatedly, so i lost all of my lives to multiple thunders... I have also noticed however, that pikachu is the only cpu that really poses much of a challenge because of his multiple quick and spammable attacks.

 

[Frey]

Lols a pretty smart olimar cpu once(no idea how this happened) Basically got a wholeset of obese pikmen, then dodged my grab and koed me.

 

[Firebert]

Yes, I've noticed that the Pikachu CPU can be tricky, because of the Thunder-spams and whatnot.

 

[nevershootme]

I want to add another >_> If you screw up when going against luigi and you're near him, he'll guarantee an up-B meteor on your face.

 

[MarthTrinity]

Anyone else been Bowsercided by a CPU Bowser?....Repeatedly....?

That or CPU Pit's spamming the checkpoint on Green Hill Zone or Snake (for some reason it's ALWAYS Snake) blocking EVERY SINGLE ATTACK that you use against him...

 

[D.A.N.]

The accuracy of the CPUs hitting attacks is what makes them more challenging, which is interesting. They try to edge guard, they hit certain projectiles (Pit's arrows) perfectly, and dodge and shield perfectly.

Luckily they can be manipulated like all AI (except Virtua Fighter AI), and still try Up Bs for attacks which leads to death sometimes.

 

[Ichida]

The CPUs are smarter? XDD, wow. I'll have to try a few matches.

 

[Firebert]

They are A LOT smarter than they were in Melee.

 

[.::Link::.]

I have tasted the bitter claw of Bowsercide. AI, I think not...These god **** computers have more intelligence than I can comprehend. Their reaction time is that of a cobra and their moves are blocking moves you've yet to even think about doing. I have even sat in fear as my level nine Bowser opponent somehow used the 'Infinite Jump' in a match. However unintentional I'm sure, still a scary thing.

-Link-

 

[Firebert]

I too have been on the wrong cide (sic) of a Bowsercide. And a CPU-Bowsercide at that, which frustrates me to absolutely no end.

 

[methinkso]

Yeah, the AI will edge guard pretty often, regardless of who you are. And they just seem smarter in general as well. It's pretty awesome.

They still walk into my charged forward smash more often than they should however.

 

[Tin]

Those guys edge hogs now, I mean, wtf.

 

[CraneStyle]

I always crack up when I see the lvl.9 cpu's SHDL when they play fox or falco

 

[Firebert]

Those guys edge hogs now, I mean, wtf.

I think it was based off the popularity of edge-hogging in competitive Melee.

 

[Supax]

Level 9 CPUs are annoying as hell... One minute they will be stupid, then the next minute they will pull ******** moves that human players can't possibly do. Like a Marth countering every single attack... They are easy to beat at times, but at others they pose more of a challenge, because they never miss, and they pull off impossible attacks... Stick to human players...

 

[Senshuu]

I've been wondering about CPU "powershielding", because honestly their shields should break more than they do. >_>

 

[Blue Yoshi]

some things I noticed from cpus are that they powershield. Also, they have perfect reaction time for attacking and dodging (especially mid-air dodging).

 

[DiamondTiger]

they also have a thing for shield grabbing
And for some odd reason I can't win in FFAs with them too much dodging

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

The shields may not repel projectiles anymore, but even so, the projectiles are more useless against level 9s in Brawl since they can also dodge in midair.

Back in Melee, the level 9s allow themselves to get hit by items while airborne.

 

[error_alt_delete]

the AI isnt as hard as you think, just be sure to read into their attacks, and only attack them in ways they cant dodge, just throwing attacks that even human players can dodge, wont work any more. I personaly havnt had these problems, but, then again, I am used to fighting the AI.

 

[LavisFiend]

Never try fighting 3 level 9 computers on a team. Especially if the members are Ike, Marth, and Metaknight.

It is **** near impossible.

ALSO, THOSE JERKS HELD ME DOWN AND STOLE MY CD!

I didn't even GET the CD!

FRIGGIN BULLIES T_T

really?
A CPU grabbed my CD once, beat the reamaining stock outa him, and got the CD.

 

[Nao Hikari]

yeah, usually i have trouble with the lvl 9's and can't finish a 3 stock match in under 3min, i'll probably have to start doing 2 stock. But, the other day i 3 stocked an Ike in under 50 seconds .__.;;
check it out :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWoS-ed6Hi4

 

[DiscoShark]

For some reason I tend to monster Level 9 Bots with Pikmin and Olimar. He's the only character that I can beat them consistently with (guess it helps that his spike is ridiculously easy to pull off). Anywho I've had moments where the CPU dodged 6 pikmin throws in a row, no rolling just air and ground dodges and then coming up and KOing my pikmin-less butt

 

[The_Smash_Champ]

PC lvl 9 suck people, omg. I put 3 stock and i ***** the computer with all 3.. what are yal complaining about?... The are still mindless idiots that cant do anything.

 

[WoapGang]

Brawl lvl6=Melee lvl 9

 

[6footninja]

Yeah man, I knew the cpus were mor sophisticated, but jeez.

hehe

calm down a bit man...not everyone is gonna be as good as others

 

[The_Smash_Champ]

Sorry but people are complaining about nothing. LVL 6 in brawl is not lvl 9 in melee. OMG this whole thread is a joke, im out of here.

 

[Nao Hikari]

to each their own

 

[nevershootme]

The whole point of the topic is that what weird crap the computer did to you that you may have not thought of in your tactics towards human players (although it may or may not work all the time). not how easy or hard as hell the computer is...

 

[Mistake]

Human players don't stand around and get hit by the same key moves every time to my experience :/.

With Ike, I can just catch the ledge and do the drop-down + aether and they'll get hit by it no matter how many times I do it.

With Falco, I can do the hit-linking from dash A to C-stick Up smash and they'll ALWAYS get hit by the second smash.

There are some others I'm forgetting, but I like to play as only a few characters so I know I'm missing dozens... They are very fun to play against in my opinion except for those flaws .

 

[N355]

I'm happy the cpus are smarter, makes it seem more like you are fighting a human, it forces you to get better at the game. Lvl 9's can do stupid things too. Once I was facing a level 9 CF with Ness. When the match started I just stood there. CF turns around, jumps off the edge, does a falcon punch, tries to recover, and fails. I don't know why he commited suicide, but it was funny so I saved that replay

 

[BioGhost]

I swear CPUs get extra invincibility frames in rolldodges.

 

[Rang Flash]

those aren't dirty tricks. it even says to "intercept" recovery in the melee how to play.

 

[rtmcs1017]

CPUs also fight a lot differently than human players. They seem to have the "Capcom AI" thing going on where they simply read into your button presses (well, at least with Marth) and counter accordingly. Once I figured out how to fight the CPUs in the new game, they're pretty easy to dispatch.

The best course of action is definitely still to stick with human players, especially one who can kick your ***. Fighting someone better than you is a great way to get better at this game, because it forces you to strategize more efficiently.

And lol at the CPU stealing the CD.. that's pretty **** cruel. Never had that happen to me. I have been edgehogged/spiked by the CPUs before, really caught me off guard. The short hops too kinda scared me. Lol@CPU teching.

 

[Lynkx]

I think it's great to see that the Lvl 9 CPU is actually smoewhat challenging now

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

I've noticed that certain level 9s do more smash attacks than others, based on what stage you're playing on.

 

[The_Woebegone_Jackal]

I think the powershielding & immediate punishment out of them is the most annouying thing about lvl9 CPUs. But in the end thats ok, its really helped me become better at my approach.
