CPU Shulk Suicides

[Mask and Mirror]

I don't really get Shulk, even though he's kind of pretty...

Oddly, I find that on his home stage of Gaur in both games, no matter the difficulty, CPU Shulks usually self destruct almost immediately. He does it a lot on other stages as well. I don't think the CPU knows how to play him.

I also find this with a lot of 'giant' enemies.

I think everyone SDs on Gaur Plains. It's kind of a badly-designed stage. Other stages, though, I can't explain as well.

I had a giant Shulk just randomly jump off Final Destination while he was changing his arts and SD. Seems like the AI isn't able to account for the increased airspeed of giant characters...

Also had Master Shadow do the same, minus the art changing part.

CPUs SD a lot using Monado Arts with Shulk or Kirby (not as much because of all the jumps) because they're trying to Air Slash or Final Cutter back to the stage while cycling Arts. The computer in this game doesn't cheat.

You can figure out why they die.
