Do you fight level 9's?

[Skyflyer]

I think they suck too much for me to actually get any better.

 

[Lex Crunch]

I use them to keep from getting rusty, as well as boost my KO count and practice and test certain tactics.

 

[demonbarber92]

I use Lv. 9's to hone my dodging skills and practice, quite often scoring perfect no-damage wins. They provide a decent practice dummy in their persistence alone.

 

[GreatClayMonkey]

Sometimes but if I actually want to practice with a computer seriously them I go a bit lower because Lv. 9s have inhuman dodging skills. However its always better to play a real human.

Agreed, the highest I go is Lv. 8. The Lv. 9's dodging is too much. Still like you said, I prefer to play humans

 

[tabuu13]

I found Lvl 9's a nice challenge in Melee. I'm not sure about Brawl. Is it harder?

 

[Neon304]

I play level 9s, because, ofline, I have no better opponents. I am the only smasher it seems here in redneck land.

 

[Alus]

its not that they *suck* or anything its that they dont stratigize or think etc

 

[Iron Thorn]

Nobody fights level 9 CPUs unless they are either a) unable to find someone to play the game with them (my case back in the day, 'cause about then my sister decided games were for little kids and nerdy boys), b) using them to supplement practice with real human beings, or c) a scrub who thinks beating level 9 CPUs with no items makes them a pro.

 

[Deleted member]

I do sometimes.

Substantially harder. They're good for finding the weak spots in offense. Grabbing you during the one vulnerable frame, always footstooling at exactly the right time to kill edgeguarding attempts. Reading your button inputs, counting the frames of lag you have, and answering with the most damaging move it knows that fits that framecount.... They are much harder to kill.

The level 9 cpu plays completely different from a person though. It has no strategy. It never punishes as much as a human (no edgeguarding, no chaingrabbing), it never camps as much, and it never abuses the physics beyond possessing superhuman reflexes. Sometimes it still screws up an easy recovery. It is very autistic.

 

[cwm123]

Nope. I play level 7's and 8's, or sometimes level 3's.

 

[ChronoTrigga]

Is it me, or does the CPU learn from moves that you do and repeats them themselves?

 

[Sosuke]

I go random, I put a random level 9 cpu

 

[HeroMystic]

I do quite often, mainly to warm myself up or to perfect my edgeguarding. Sometimes just for fun.

That and, I'm like the only person who plays Brawl competitively in my neighborhood.

 

[Negi-Kun]

If you think they suck and you're good enough for them I don't think there is any need to practice on them.

 

[BEES]

It does. It remembers move sequences from replays. That's old news.

 

[DivineBeast]

I usually when im bored do two level 9 cpu's.

 

[stratele]

They have inhuman skills. For example, they can read your attack, the instant you press the buttons. Unhuman like. So I really only go for level 8's when training, trying out new things.

But if its just a fun, regular brawl. Level 9's or 7/8's depending on who i'm playing as.

 

[rathy Aro]

They don't camp. Real people do. Which is more fun?

 

[Stroupes]

I play with 9's if I feel like playing a non-Wi-fi match. CPUs may be useless, but sometimes the lag frustrates me more than CPUs are boring.

 

[Smartidiot]

I only play level 9's if there are 3 of them and all one a team
If it's 1 on 1 i play a level 8. :D

 

[RixMaadi]

The level 9s in Brawl seem to be very defensive. Usually when I fight them, they tend to stay back and wait until I attack, then they counter attack or shield-grab. (and boy are they fast at knowing when to shield).

 

[Veggi]

I used to play against them a lot, but I havn't recently. It always feels wierd fighting them because some things they do much better than humans and things I would do on humans doesn't work on them, some things I do to them doesn't work on humans.

I could've sworn I've seen the computer RAR with DK and G&W.

 

[Wavekirby]

Trying to shield and dodge lv9 attacks and grabs is fun but otherwise they are just to easy when you switch to offensive.

 

[Blackimar]

i fought level nines for ten hours strait it was crazy

 

[Bullet Bill]

I think that the level 9 comps have a pretty decent AI and are pretty alright to play against. Esp when compared to melee which I can not play single player for more than ten minutes due to boredom

 

[Collective of Bears]

I beat up lv9s when I'm experimenting with a new tactic/character/AT/pizza.

 

[okiyama]

I did fora while but now that I'm playing humans again I'm noticing that my mind games are WRECKED so I gave up on CPUs.

 

[Morrigan]

I don't. Lvls 7 and below.

You make them sound......horrifying D:

 

[SirKibble]

I usually just leave them at the default Level 3. Level 9s have inhumanly ridiculous dodging/shielding skills (perfect shielding EVERY TIME, anyone?), as well as the ability to read and "plan" responses to your moves before any human could. When I want to practice something new, or when I'm just looking for a battle, the Level 3s suffice. If I want something of a challenge, I bump them up to 7 or 8.

 

[Smash_Gigas]

I don't play against Lvl 9s for training or practice, I do it for the fun of it. I want something that can fight back, and lvl 5s don't usually cut it.

 

[nakedsnake]

Ya level 9's are to inhuman to practice with you need something that attacks back put doesn't contentiously **** you with its attacks.

 

[M.K]

I practice on Level 7. Level 8 and Level 9 are just....psychic! O_O They read your mind

Probably in the coding they have access to the coding they can tell what your going to do as soon as you press the button.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Level 1s are rough enough in Brawl. The easiest skill level shouldn't know how to perfect shield nor be fighting in a manner that's similar to Melee's level 5s.

Seriously it's always a pain to get grabbed by a level 1 that blocked ALL of your weak combo moves. Although, grab attempts are less common in Brawl compared to Melee.

In Melee, certain level 9s may end up doing close to 60 grab attempts in a 5 minute match on Final Destination. In Brawl, they rarely ever get close to 20 grab attempts, but they do tend to spam those smash attacks. Interestingly enough, dash grabs aren't seen much in Brawl either.

 

[C.Olimar788]

I generally play level 6s, personally. *preps flame shield*

1-on-1s with 9s are fun, though.

 

[Lutukor]

Level 9s are fun, but they have ungodly shield dodging abilities. I like level 7s and 8s like most people.

 

[frdagaa]

I use them occasionally to test something if someone else isn't around. They're also half-decent for warm ups, but still so different from playing a real human that they don't count as actual practice.
