Computers are great, until they stop beating.

I did notice though, that I can easily beat a computer YL with my Young Link, because I know it's strategy. Trying to beat a computer Roy, it really tripped me up, because I was so use to Young Link's computer strategy. :\

Personally I believe playing CPU's will only get you to a certain level (I think most people on these forums probably agree with this.) The problem with CPUs, even on Level 9, is that too man times I have seen them walk right into fully charged smash attacks when it is totally unnecessary. The other people I play with are of a pretty high skill level and even though they aren't the absolute best players in the world, they never fall into this trap that any level CPU will.

If you are a beginner, playing CPU's to sharpen technical skills is better than not playing. It's also a good compliment to training mode b/c you can practice c-stick l cancels.

Alright, first, change all your "worst" to "worse". =) this just helps people concentrate better.

You say that playing a variety of CPU's will improve your adaptability. I don't think so. You haven't addressed my previous arguments, but I am bringing it up once more that the playstyles of CPU CHARACTERS are not different enough to teach you how to react. Nor will it help you break habits, because a habit against the AI is just that, not a habit against a certain characters. We've said habits are bad. In this game, it is just too easy to develop habits subconsciously against computers due to DI [or lack thereof] etc. Why would I subject myself to the chance of developing these negative habits?

btw airo please address my previous posts =D
