Agree, fighting CPU often makes you develop bad habits.I'm an OVER9000 on that list.
No I'd be a 5 or so I think, but fighting lvl p's is stupid and screws with your skill
lol.And yes of course Lv9 CPU are easy, use a Gimp/spike characters and you might 3-stock them.
Its not that they are great (though he may be), its that some people just understand cpus really well. For me cpus are ridiculously easy, but I'm just an average skill smasher. You pretty much just know all of their limitations and how they react to different situations. Once you know that, its like you don't have to think to fight a cpu. You know exactly what you can and can't do and exactly what you need to do. Kind of like a math problem, 2 + 2 always equals 4. When you fight actual people, its not like that. Different play styles, different reactions, mind games, ends up in different results.That's an interesting view. I didn't expect many people to say they were a 7. You must be great. You say that because you've been playing cpu's in smash for about 9 years, so they're very predictable, but I find the opposite true. I could absolutely destroy a computer in ssb64. Their AI was horrid. If you edgeguarded at ALL they would die easily. Computers in ssb64 didn't even try to use their b-up a second time after they were hit. Switching from fighting mindless cpu's to the ones in Brawl was sure a shock. Computers were drastically upgraded in Brawl. They edge-hog, they edge-guard, and they perfect shield attacks. So it's not necessarily true that if you've played well against lvl 9's for ages, you will continue to.
Exactly, they become more difficult as you play more. Since I have two other players here using other characters and then when you play against CPU against the same character they have many similairities, they fail at it though. As example, people would usually go off the edge to kill while CPU always stays on the stage. They do edgehog you sometimes. It probably depends. Thing is that they can't 'predict' like a human player would. You will get used to it eventually.lvl 9 cpu's learn... if u were captain falcon and constantly did falcon punch for 30 minutes. Then go against a lvl 9 captain falcon. the cpu captain falcon would use tons and tons of falcon punches... lol
