Obviously there are things such as character specific techs and knowing match ups that you need to know, but without human players, are CPU's decent training partners?
I've tried to look into this online before, and I've heard that CPU's can teach you some really bad habits, and I get that. There is only so much a CPU can do, and it's not like it can just learn to adapt.
Usually after practicing some tech skill and attack strings and whatever, I'll put the cursor on random, and I'll vary the CPU's level every now and again so I don't get used to fighting one level.
At the moment, I only have one friend who is willing to play with me, and I only see him about once a week. Problem is he doesn't even own the game, however I think he definitely has a good grasp on the game, and it's nice playing against an actual thinking human. But I don't think that's enough, I can't really gauge whether or not I am actually improving. After fighting CPU's for a few hours or however long I may play, I'll usually feel more confident. But once my friend comes over and say he picks Marth and spams counter or something, I have no clue how to deal with it.
I'm really trying to get better, I've always loved the smash series since the N64 days, but I just sort of recently got into the competitive aspect of the game. I watch a ton of matches to try and learn how top players use them, and sometimes even just for fun or to pass time. I read guides to have a better understanding of my character. I'm really trying to get better, it's just hard without people.
My apologies if this isn't the place to put this, or if threads like this have been done to death. I like to play mostly P:M and Brawl, I've been playing a bit more Brawl as of late because I feel smash 4 will probably be closer to Brawl than P:M, so I'm just wanting some skill to carry over.
