I would love an AI option that plays "intelligently" but doesn't actually attack. Like a CPU that takes every opportunity to DI/ break out of combos, etc, but without all the other quirks that make the current level 9s super tedious to practice with (power shield spam, lack of tech variation, etc). Maybe it would go for a hit but stop after the first one, just to show you where you're vulnerable. Kinda like a sparring mode. That'd be awesome
dudeeeee i was actually gonna post my ideas but didn't cuz it would be useless but since there seems to people who like it this overhaul dream, here it is:
lvl1: nothing but taking hits and techrolling, rolling, different DI when they get hit, being (now) able to ledge-tech, etc.
lvl2: them playing campy/run-away, so you learn how to deal with having to chase or approach in a non-hit-me way, or better put, efficiently approaching them with your character.
lvl3: Annoying things they do, let's say for falco, he spams lasers like crazy, fox always nairplaning everywhere and shineing at once wether it be shield or non-shield, Marth doing the wall of pain (i think that's what it's called) with his fair, Falcon nairing like crazy, etc.
lvl4: your turn to DI, characters spam certain combos or just attacks like Peach continiously d-smashing, fox up-smash into another or up-air, falco shineing and dair you like crazy, maybe a shine-bair too, etc.
lvl5: This goes with the lvl4 thing, but it's just CG and teching and that stuff, like let's say your fox and your playing against a lvl5 marth, he will continiously CG and/or techchase you, your falco, Falcon u-throws you, and he chases you, same goes for shiek, etc. This could be kinda exclusive to FF's but i don't know.
And i guess the other levels would simply be real fights, with different styles?
just think about it guys, after PM is completely finished, the only thing new to download to the game would be AI settings for each character, and for each lvl you could pick a player with different traits like for lvl 9 fox, you could pick the extremly tech. silentwolf/javi or maybe Mango/unknown instead
Marth lvl.6-ARC, fullmetal falcomist etc.
lvl.7-jpg, cactuar, taj, TAI
lvl.8-Pewpewu
lvl.9- Mew2king (this would be basically as frame perfect as melee marth, just 3 googlon times smarter than the melee one), or dr.pp (he took a set off of armada, nuff said)
I get that coding styles based on color slots is impossible (who knows?) but giving each lvl a certain skill ceiling i guess could be doable, then again i have no idea what i'm talking about, but again if they mad e an engine for the AI, i think it would be one of PM's most noticeable highlights
