I love the new Classic mode and it is my favorite yet. My only two problems with this game is the computer AI and what in the world were they thinking to make master hand and master beast such jerks? Master hand has card tricks to cheaply KO you, you can not dodge most of his moves without using the dodge action precisely, and he can simply gust you off the stage when you are punching crazy hand. Then master beast attacks hard and fast, taking away my opportunities to sock'em.
The CPU AI should be patched. They are hitting me when I try to get up from the ledge, because there is a split second where I am not invulnerable that their AI allows them to strike. They are not smart AI, sometimes you can just roll them to death as Dedede. But they will do stuff like smash attack me right as I hit the ground after using the DK barrel on Jungle Hyjnx.
Even though that cheap AI takes away so much from the game, I gotta have that Master Fortress. Master Fortress is the reward for dealing with everything on 9.0. He is not very hard but he is the spectacle to behold. I will not play on any other difficulty level since I am trying to complete the "Clear Classic on at least 7.0 with everyone." Is it me, or do the challenges and events feel lackluster and little thought or time was put into them?
My rewards are normally two custom moves that are new, a new trophy, lots of new custom items, and a unnoticeable amount of gold.
