Does the MK9 AI get better over time?

Apparently I'm free too. I recently picked up Jax, and did his f413 string into a GP. I go on ladder (expert) just to sorta get a slight feel for the character. And the AI did the exact same set-up. I thought I'd fall for it for a couple more times, just to see if I was awake or not.

I shat bricks. Tons of em', all kinds of em'.

I notice that some AIs also use BnBs as well, I guess the game saves it? Who knows.
 
Interesting.
I'll look into this. I want to try the "Go through arcade ladder on expert without using a continue achievement."
pick kitana, do 2~cutter to infinity. it works on everyone except kahn (well maybe it will, i never tried, got scared), even on expert.

i remember one time in the tag ladder i was fighting mileena and jc, mileena did u4 two times, tag assisted and jc did 1, 44 shadow kick. that's the most i've seen the computer do. except that one time shao kahn got me in the flying hammer infinite for like 80% of my damn health... that shit was insanely hype.

Anyone ever have the AI just stop? It's happened to me a few times, where for no reason it appears the AI's controller got unplugged. Any normal or special will "wake it up", but movement (dashes, jumps, blocking ) have no effect. I've walked up to an unresponsive Kung Lao on expert from full screen and thrown them! LOLOLOLOLOLOL.

Ghostface777o0o Yea, sometimes the AI is just stupid. I've had Liu Kang do an EX Paryy on wake up...at full-screen. With certain characters, you can just duck or stand there and they'll do random stuff. I just stood there once and Kung Lao would shuffle around a little, block every 2 seconds or so, and occasionaly duck. (I'd still just be standin' there) He'd attack ever 4 seconds or so, it was weird.

In turn, sometimes they're just god-like. I've gotten flawlessed before too. (no bablities :()

what i cant stand is when the AI hits you with a disabler and doesnt hit you while your stunned. like sub-zero connects with an ice ball and just walks back and forth. or kabal spins you with a nomad dash and tries a sweep from jump distance. that ruins the entire round
 
I do feel that the AI has changed from day 1 and this version of the game.the computer does different things in training mode expert than they used to back in april.

I swear one day it felt like the AI on the Vita was being controlled by a knowledgable TYMer. Doing bnbs and breakers and such. Zoning with the lifelead. I wonder if the Vita AI has been upgraded.
 
Man I thought this to. But turns out that the more you play the game like offline the more the AI knows what your doing. But if you play like a dumb ass and just tap 1 they just stand there and take it because they don't knOw how to respond.

Freddy is the dumbest AI. He's frame trapped me at FULL SCREEN, then proceeded to hit me with an EX Ground Claw into a full combo that lead to mid 30%...and it does this consistently.

Yeah, Freddy has fullscreen frame traps and serious damage output. Human controlled Freddies will do that too.

He's top 6 for a reason :D

I don't know how appropriate this is fr discussion, but I just spent the last 2 minutes being mesmerized by Derptile's sig :confused:

Also, the computer still has yet to do anything about command grab-212, dash, repeat yet, so who knows?

Lately I've noticed the AI is interrupting blockstrings/frametraps with armored moves (Sub-Zero with slide, bosses with normals and specials). This begun some time ago, but certainly not from the beginning of the game.

one thing about the AI is that there is no human error factor. like trying to cross them up while they are on the ground to fuck up their wakeup inputs is hopeless

However, they do standing 3 sometimes... Exposed to input bug?
 
I've eaten 40+% midscreeners from rain on expert before. But it does seem to be limited to rain that can do combos that big on ladder in my experience. And occasionally skarlet will combo into an Xray for decent damage but not like the prince.
Maybe they gave the dlc guys a lil somethin somethin extra?
