I like playing them from time to time, even if they are hard. They feel easier after I play online for a while. I made some content based on how I feel about them

I'm not a fan. The one thing I've always hated about the AI in Smash is their ability to read button inputs and shield/dodge/parry everything on reaction. It's especially frustrating when you main a slow character that can't throw out moves constantly, so apart from counterattacking after a whiff or forcing them into a frame trap, they're way too difficult to hit. You can't rely on reads hardly at all because they rarely do any defensive move preemptively (like teching/tech rolling/shielding/rolling/spot dodging/air dodging) and much more often do them on pure reaction. Their timing is essentially frame-perfect, which means trying to land with an attack that launches you downward and has an active hitbox the whole way down (Ganon/Falcon's down-B, ZSS/Sonic's d-air, etc.) will always end with you being juggled repeatedly; far too frequently compared to good human players.
It's not that they're hard or anything (I can 3-stock them fairly consistently), they're just unfair. Like most fighting game AI, anyway.
That is SUCH a lie.Personally I'm a pretty heavy fan of the AI in Smash Ultimate, they don't parry or shield everything like in Smash 4 or just spam the same moves over and over again, and they actually play quite human like. The battles are also quite tough, so I find them quite fun to fight against.
