Because you're not very good.

Level 9s don't play the meta like players do and don't really prepare you for competitive play. Try using level 5s to practice comboing and such; that's much more useful.

.. Why are you guys easing this so much?
The only reason you're loosing is because you're not very good
try to train with other people.

good players adapt to anything

Why are your posts so useless?
Try reading shaxstax posts about playing other people.
And telling people they're not good isn't encouraging at all, why would someone want to play with people when they're being constantly told that they suck. You suck.

To be fair, the OP is asking "Why do I lose to level 9s" and not "How do I beat level 9s".

The real, non-sugarcoated answer to the OP question is "because you're bad".

Alright, I see you. But the OP's post is asking for advice on the matter. Telling someone that they're bad isn't advice.

First things first, don't listen to this asshole.

My advice is not to worry about the ability to play against CPU's at all. Playing against a CPU is not at all like playing against a person, and as such shouldn't be used to evaluate skill.

Furthermore, playing against the level 9's will give you bad habits that you wouldn't get by playing people. Simply put, they have inhuman reaction speeds; if you input an action, they'll be doing a counter action on the quickest possible frame.

I advise playing against level 3's. You can work on basic execution against them. Anything beyond that involves the mental side of the game, which you absolutely need to be playing another person to improve at.

Level 3 cpus..

My god you guys are all garbage..
Practicing against lvl 3's for their DI. 9's get you in really bad habits (like only Dair approaching with Falco). Also, 3's don't have frame-perfect unrealistic stuff that you would find with a 9.

Obvious lack of intellect, says the person to fight level 3 CPU's...

For one, you should have made the topic more clearly.
*GIVE ME ADVICE ON HOW TO BEAT THEM*

The simple answer on why you cant beat them is because you're bad.

All I did was non-sugarcoat, and you guys are bashing me in the same way.

I wasn't bashing, I was just explaining to you why someone would practice against level 3's opposed to level 9's.

I once tried fighting a level 9 after playing competitively for a year. It was difficult

Fighting CPUs is weirdly different from fighting humans
Level 9 CPUs are artificially good. They always get perfect powershields, etc. They also can't react to your actions meaning mindgames won't do anything.

Level 3 cpus..

My god you guys are all garbage..
Mango practices against level 1 through 3 CPUs. He has never beaten All Star mode either.

But since you DESTROY level 9s you must be at least, mathematically speaking, THREE TIMES BETTER than Mango.

Man, I have a TON of respect for you. Everyone else should try and be as good at Melee as you. Carry on.

WHY DO I KEEP LOSING TO LEVEL NINES?!?!?!?!
If you respond to a thread's title more than you do the actual OP, then you clearly don't know how to forum. Go back to Youtube comments or Xbox Live, whichever one you came from.

If Mango is playing level 1's, he must be nine times better. I think Mango would only dare to play level 3's on his best days. This deserves mad props. Kahnu confirmed for 6th god.

Not only are you a cancer, you obviously have some form of mental ***********. You have 400 posts. Looking at the content that you've posted on this thread, it's a wonder how you haven't already been banned for spam. Do all of us a favor and stop acting like you're mentally impaired. This is probably the first time you've posted on the Melee forums looking at your profile. Where do you get off on telling others how good or bad they are. Not only are you contributing nothing to the conversation, you're ruining it. Hell, even if he was posting top quality content, we could assume this guy was a ****** form posts like this.

Or the gif right above me.

The only one is terrible here is probably you, both at the game and at life. Otherwise, why would you be posting the type of **** that spews out regularly from you. It's like your smashing your face against the keyboard and pressing enter. Next time you post something, read it and ask whether you would turn it in to your English teacher. I can guarantee that your posting quality will improve.

Of course, this logic is probably wasted on someone such as your self, but don't let anyone say that I didn't try.

I 4 stocked a lvl 9 Falco with my Fox in 26 seconds today, so I guess I'm better than Mango now ?

sir please
No hes completely correct.

''If Mango is playing level 1's, he must be nine times better. I think Mango would only dare to play level 3's on his best days. This deserves mad props. Kahnu confirmed for 6th god.''
Mango can beat level 9 cpus.
You're acting as if Mango can only play level 3 CPU's.

Yes, you're exactly right. I firmly believe that there's no way Mango could ever take on anything level 4 or greater. Naw, man. No way.

No wonder this guy is so good against CPUs, he probably doesn't have any friends to play against because of how big of a douche he is

its natural the cpu players in melee at level 9 are relentless and can actually grab a sprinting fox the reflexes of level 9 cpus are literally perfect i have had a donkey kong cpu clobber me whle using fox tricks like dash dancing and cirle jimping but the cpu grabbed me and threw me dont feel bad about ir just know that melee has extremely powerful cpu characters
