The AI is massively improved from Melee. I find that if I stop focusing on the game for even a second, the Comp starts doing ridiculous combos on me.
The main problem is disrupting an AI's recovery isn't very hard, they don't really know how to handle it. They're smart enough to vary their recovery and try to survive, but I imagine that if I were a more experienced player I'd kill them every time.
Here is a simpler test. Try and beat the computer on stamina mode, on a Stage like Hyrule, and you only get credit if you get their hp to 0, no going for KOs.
