CPU or AI Difficulty MK11

[Protectobot]

Sorry if I missed this thread somewhere else as I didn't see one, but today I played very hard mode for the first time against computer-Baraka and he destroyed me! He would attack me non-stop on wake-up, do 30% meterless combos w/ command grab in the corner, KB d2 me every time I used a high (almost always use mids), AA me as soon as I jump, and throw me whenever I blocked his mix-ups on wake-up (I tried teaching sometimes). He would break away every chance he had and I could only hit him after double-teleport w/ Raiden cos he would plant his flag, and I'd do 11 into combo ender.
Is it just me or does THIS game have insane input-reading AI?! Might as well fight psychic Sonic Fox...
