Then perhaps "actual people" could learn a few tricks from them. Imo the ability to powershield and have unpredictable crazy di are two things that could turn an average player into an incredible one, maybe even metagame changing. The whole mindset that "oh computers arent real people we dont need to worry about them" is biased and unhealthy, especially when you understand that level 9s *are* incredible. Ill bet that if people just attempted to learn why a level 9 utilizes their jabs in the way they do you could learn a few things. Just dont be so quick to write off level 9 tech as something unnecessary or useless just because its not tournament legal, everything you learn always translates to your other skills. Also im not asking for a revamp in playing style either, "adapt what is useful, reject what is useless, and add what is specifically your own."-bruce lee
Lolololol
It's not that it's illegal to play like a level 9 in tournament
It's just that it's ****ty and you'll get beat
you seem to have a misunderstanding on level 9s and what it is they actually do
as you have outlined them,
"ability to powershield" "crazy DI" "special utilization of jabs"
powershielding is great it's just hard, it's not like we're racist against CPUs and we don't want to use their techniques LOL
their DI isn't crazy it's just ****ty, iirc they DI in like all the time and survival DI above a threshold or something. Whatever it is, DI doesn't work that way, there's no best DI. you di certain moves in certain ways. people don't like playing against level 9 CPU DI because their DI choices are the most illogical and if you get used to punishing that kind of DI on reaction with your character you'll make "CPU mistakes" in real matches where everybody can tell you just tried to predict an option that they used to predict when they played against level 9s
spamming jab is gay as **** when a CPU does it because we treat them as combo fodder. If someone started doing that to me in a real match it would trip me up for sure but I'd only take like 3% damage and then I'd shieldgrab you or just dashdance a little bit.
Jabbing forfeits movement options. That's why just jab spamming is bad. You utilize jab when your opponent also has limited movement options, like if they're in shield and you want to poke them a little bit or if they're on the ground and you're forcing a tech. Jabs by nature come out fast, which is great, but limit your movement and have poor range. they're just situational. trust me dog CPUs play like garbage and you have very little to learn from dealing with their bull****. you would be better served practicing on a ragdoll
u have to push like b then a on name entry and b or something, look it up
