yeah the cpu is funny. i thought i had a perfect spiral sent trap until i realized that the cpu will just sit there and block until u stop throwin stuff lol i had to learn at the arcade. on top of that, the cpu blocks all resets. u definatly need a partner
Anyone who honestly runs into trouble when playing the cpu at hardest difficulty, IS a scrub. Computer opponents are dumb as hell.
I once beat a whole team on hardest when cyke/sent, just doing cyclop’s fierce projectile and sent ground, repeatedly. Each character just froze in block mode till chip death occurred(was bored and wanted to see if it would work).
the only thing u can practice against the computer is execution. like practing the rom infinite or comboes and stuff, u cant really practice ur tactics or strategies cuz the cpu does nothing.
u could do experiments in training mode to see how to use different assits in comboes and stuff
you can do resets on the computer, can experiment some. practice guard breaks.
practice traps also since the comp will guard just about anything pay attention to the characters and see if they fidget any. if the fidget a lot before they block again then a real player could more or less escape that trap so you have to change the timing on it. but remember a real player could also pushblock so be careful not to get too reliant on it.
If you’ve got a console version, go into training mode and read some guides. Practice stuff, and then try it out on actual people [not the computer]. If you only have access to an arcade, uhh try shit there.
