Brawl Computers: Q&A (1 Player Directory Included)

[Sephy95]

I have tried doing that, but I can't quite get it yet unless I am facing two Ganondorfs . Congrats! Though, now onto 3 haha.

Yeah i set the cpus to random and they came out as Falcon n Falco and they were really tough. Its gonna be even tougher in a 3v1. O_O

 

[Grim Tuesday]

I can and have JV 5-stock'd 3 Level 9 Ganons on a team without hitting them once.

You guys are giving the Melee CPU's intelligence too much credit.

This. I've seen a vid of someone just sitting on the ledge and 3 Falco CPUs just used aerials and SD'd without even touching him.

 

[Gatlin]

That's no fun if you just sit and wait for them to kill themselves, it kills the potential for a challenging match.

 

[Grim Tuesday]

If I want to have fun and a challenge while playing Smash, I play against actual humans.

I only play against CPUs when I am making sure my tech skill is consistent in pressured situations.

GrimFandango is winning this. Horribly. This^^^

I only use CPUs when Humans aren't available, and i need to practice teching or something. I really don't find CPUs (Moreso Melee wise) to be all that fun when i'm in leisure time.

 

[Gatlin]

@GrimFandango,

Sure, that's true. I just think it would be fun to try and beat 3 MK CPUs in a 3v1 match, seeing as their difficulty level doesn't really differ that much from each other. Fighting 3 human MKs, chances are there is going to be at least one who is a lot easier than the others. At least that's how it is whenever I fight friends.

@Zatch,

So you never, ever, play CPUs just for fun?

 

[Zatchiel]

@Zatch,

So you never, ever, play CPUs just for fun?

I have humans i can play against "just for fun." No offense.

I really only use CPUs nowadays to test certain repetitions or rumors about their play style. Other than that, just tech practice on Hyrule or something, unless a (good) human player is present.

 

[Gatlin]

As do I, but like I was saying with GrimFandango, human difficulties and playstyles can differ so greatly between each other. You can play against 3 friends, 2 of those friends may be fantastic at the game, while 1 isn't so good. Hypothetically, if all three of them pick the same character, the difficulty is going to be wonky seeing as it would be comparable to two level 9s and one level 3. The only reason I said fighting three of the same character on the same difficulty, is because it would be an even difficulty as well as playstyle, seeing as the CPUs really don't differ that much. I just think it would be a cool thing to try at least, just to see if you could do it. That is probably just the casual player talking, though.

Sort of like that "300% challenge" idea someone posted.

I've beaten 3 lvl9 MKs with MK >.>
Just go on Lylat Cruise and plank and they'll suicide a lot

Edit: But if you're looking for a challenge, just go play cruel brawl or something. (though that gets really boring since you have to plank to do any good on it >.>)

 

[Gatlin]

Really, it is hard to explain what I mean because I am not part of the competitive scene, I guess. I mean a clean, no tactics, nothing to offset the CPUs and make them do stupid things like kill themselves. "Planking" is doing this, correct? Of course the CPU would die easily seeing as they would be jumping off the course in attempt to get you.

Cruel Brawl...yuck. XD

I use CPU a lot because I liek IC

When a certain character ticks me off the CPU controls them and they become my new sandbag in the shape of that character...(Lucas in particular...)

Same and agreed, except i tend to punch characters that noobs always use.

 

[SupaSairentoZ7℠]

Which characters are those for you?

 

[Grim Tuesday]

Noob characters in my area: Pit, Kirby, Toon Link, Ike and Pikachu.

 

[Ghostbone]

lol we do have spammy Pikachu's xD

Even in melee >.>

 

[SupaSairentoZ7℠]

Pretty much the same for me here with Sonic added to the list.

 

[Gatlin]

Sonic is fun to punch around, especially after hearing "You're too SLOW!" over and over...

 

[SupaSairentoZ7℠]

Every time I see a Sonic KO someone especially in Sudden Death they always use that taunt and nothing else. Some Sonic player when they take the lead will run away (Especially in Temple.) so they can win the match.

 

[Gatlin]

Haha for sure, I see that all the time. I vote Sonic's taunts as being the most annoying out of any character

 

[FIREL]

Meh, all the noobs sonics made a bad reputation for sonic (goes for all othre noob characters too).

 

[Gatlin]

I don't think badly of Sonic himself, I like the character. I just dislike when people spam his taunts or sprint away. Lol

 

[FIREL]

Yea i'll respect decent to good ones (any charcter thats good), though theres just too many sonic noobs.

for every 100 sonics i probally see only 2 that are good... maybe less.

 

[Delta-RS]

More than i can count <.<
I play offline with CPUs more than 80% of the time now, you think i wouldn't learn anything by now

I have to noone will play with me not even my bro.

Oh i have to say 2 luigis on a team (Lv 9) Team attack actually used the luigi ladder
when i was playing in lylat cruise no joke.

Unless you can train sonic which i dont

 

[SupaSairentoZ7℠]

I have yet to encounter a good Sonic online. I see OK ones that can hold their own. Those Sonics crack me up when they're are in 1 Vs. 1 and me and another player just sit and watch. Of course Sonic will go "Your too slow!!!" when he KOs the other player.

 

[Gatlin]

Ugh, that taunt is dreadful to listen to. Especially when they do it an excessive amount of times.

 

[Delta-RS]

I like there down taunt much better.

 

[SupaSairentoZ7℠]

Sonic: "Come on! Step it up!"

Player: "I will when you stop running away!

 

[Gatlin]

I like there down taunt much better.

For sure, too bad that one isn't annoying enough for people to abuse it

 

[Grim Tuesday]

Maybe you guys should stop playing on banned stages that let Sonic run away...?

 

[Gatlin]

Maybe you guys should stop playing on banned stages that let Sonic run away...?

I try to. Most of the time I will always choose Final Destination, but sometimes people seem to like picking stages like Temple. So I don't really have all that much control over which stage I play on.

 

[FIREL]

Just give that sonic a big beating on a normal stage (try to piss him off or make him ragequit). That might shut them up.

 

[SupaSairentoZ7℠]

Whenever I get Sonic players that rage they repeat the same attacks over and over. They mostly use dash attacks, Ftilt, Fsmash, and Usmash. That is why I enjoy the smaller stages with Sonic since he can't really run away unless you have a really slow character that he can avoid the whole time.

 

[Sephy95]

Sonic's annoying plain and simple. I suck at using him too which makes me hate him even more. XD

 

[Zatchiel]

Sonic's annoying plain and simple.

Would you mind elaborating? Sonic's game is quite frankly comprised of mix-ups, fake-outs, and tacking on damage at every interval possible. It's not often that I get to play a Sonic that isn't running around. Not to mention he's one of my mains.

I'm referring to those spamming Sonic users. I never said his game was bad. I'm sure you're a decent Sonic user/mainer.

 

[Cezz624]

Ok, I have one question. Do CPUs learn moves from you. I remember when i first played brawl, the Mario CPU sucked a lot, now since I've come up with new combos with Mario( edge guarding, some combos), it starts using them against me. I can still beat it, but it kind of ticks me off a little. So do CPUs copy the moves you do?

 

[cHp]

I don't think they really "learn" from you. It just seems like they are because you're paying more attention to those tendencies that they have.
