Cobr, Sheer, you claim authority, you state conclusions, yet your attempts at "evidence" are woefully anecdotal or even make the opposite point!
Cobr:
"also: computer opponents do not teach you how to read. this is a silly statement."
Silly statement comment is unnecessary and counterproductive; if you are trying to engage or participate in a debate, just show why you think the other side is wrong, don`t waste words and offend by insulting the other person`s theory.
" the cpu will always do the same things over and over."
Exactly. This is precisely my point. It`s a computer. If you are in spot X and they are in Y, then Z will always happen. It is an advanced form of Training Mode, where the opponent attacks you in the same way for every situation. This is not to say they just Forward Smash, they use all the moves in the game, when appropriate, and frame perfect. Most humans cannot reproduce the latter, and most likely don`t or shouldn`t do the former. This leads to learning spacing in a relaxed, controlled environment, as opposed to against the more unpredictable humans. Having the exact same input every time is the basis of fundamentals; let`s try an analogy:
Bruce Lee doesn`t train how to block a punch by walking around Manhattan picking fights. He gets one of his students to stand in front of him and LITERALLY throw the same punch, thousands of times. That way the desired skill is focused upon, and the unpredictability of fights, of human behavior does not get in the way of PRACTICE.
" the habits, trends, likes and dislikes of real people are not comparable to the programmed habits of the cpu."
Yes, no one is disputing this, so again, unless it`s relevant to a counterpoint that you are making, than you are committing a major fallacy, stating facts that all agree on as part of your argument.
"take into consideration these facts: all the computers are easily gimped and do not upb more than once when recovering, don't DI, consistently dsmash on platforms, use b moves to excess, don't combo, don't edgeguard, don't ledgehog, don't read your habits so you can react and mix up, seldom tech, seldom perform advanced techniques (like jabgrab, platdrop ff uair, etc), consistently roll if you get near them, and pull off things humans rarely do (like instant ledge cancel techs that result in punishes)."
You then just ramble on with more "facts" about what the computer does, again, NO ONE IS DISPUTING THESE THINGS. You fail to make any point at all, until finally just stating your thesis again, still completely unsupported:
"none of these things translate well to playing a human opponent."
Thankfully for you, Sangoku came in with an ACTUAL argument:
"shielding is OP against CPUs and you'll get used to shielding way too much."
Which is both insightful and correct. This is a downside to exclusively playing CPUs, or as Kero said, having the wrong mentality about playing CPUs. It is training on Spacing and Reading, not on how to beat a specific human player or playstyle.
And finally, WTF? Sangoku too, for "adding on" [to your 'point'] The guy said:
" Can one get a decent practice, against CPU's? They seem to fall down alot, after I hit them. What do I do to continue the combos?"
Me: Proposed tried and true personal training methods to focus on the things CPUs can teach you.
Kero: Encouraging words and general advice, again, on how to get the most out of CPU practice
Cobr: No. Don`t play the computer. (Not even some advice on what actually to do to train instead, assuming no humans, which is what the OP was)
Sangoku: Adding on to No, it will form bad habits, because you`re an idiot scrub who can`t learn how to shield less against stronger opponents. (Shield is OP against normal humans, too.)
SEE THE DIFFERENCE?
Sheer:
"Sorry Studstill but I have to agree with them about your apostrophe issues. And it really doesn't even bother me like some people."
That`s great news. If what I, a citizen of the United States and a free-willed human, use to JOIN TWO WORDS bothers you it`s going to be a tough life.
"But it will shed a bad light on you once you get out into the professional world if you're sending e-mails to co-workers and clients using the wrong apostrophe key. You really should get out of the habit before it costs you."
How do you know this, that it will "shed a bad light" or "cost me"? Are you in an HR field? Or perhaps run your own firm? Have you ever had a boss or client remark on whether or not ' or ` was used in a negative light? Did they fire the employee, or end the contract?
The answer to all of these is No. And further, as a paid content writer, "adminstative assistant" at law firm, and general writer, I have produced literally thousands of pages of documents; most of them I`m sure with contractions. I have never heard anyone even notice, much less object to something so trivial. Not even once. It will not "cost me" professionally, and again, do either of you ever support anything point you make with evidence and reason? You should get on that. The internet and SB will be a better place for it. Or is it SWF? Who the hell knows, because we`re more concerned with
`
versus
'
than having a consistent name for our forum.
Peace.
