I WILL EAT THIS GAME
Was talking to a couple of the fellas about it yesterday, figured it could use some bringing up and serious discussion.
For those of us with little means to battle offline, and no patience or tolerance for the myriad of pain that is trying to level up online, we are left with but one option: Expert AI.
And while there are some characters who cannot possibly live up to their destructive full potential (most of the top tier, actually), there are others who, for whatever reason, are almost deadlier in the hands of artificial hands than they are in those of a human.
For example:
-Kabal can't NDC, and thus any and every time he uses a Wake Up Dash, all you have to do is hold block, and he is yours to pummel.
-Neither Jax nor Cyrax can pull off their respective resets. Jax can still put up a fight as he was never designed to be a combo machine, but Cyrax pales in comparison to human capabilities.
-Liu won't B312 you to death, Cage can't frametrap, Skarlet can't blocktrap, Scorpion can't vortex, Ermac can't max damage you into the grave...the list goes on.
There are, however, a few exceptions.
-Rain and Freddy Krueger will both, more often than not, take you for as much damage as they're capable of.
-For whatever inexplicable reason (I thought I was just playing shitty until it was confirmed by others), JADE's AI is probably the most on-point and difficult to deal with out of the entire cast. Very rarely when doing battle with her does she ever miss a step or mistime a move. She doesn't just see your inputs coming and react accordingly, she makes you pay in spades for every mistake you make. If every character in the roster was as on-point in the Lab as she was, we wouldn't NEED to deal with online in the name of leveling up, and life would be a much prettier place.
Thoughts? Suggestions? Anyone else I should seek out for an AI ass-whooping?
Discuss.
