Who do you usually put as the CPU in training mode?

[piscaso]

I usually use either DK or just a mirror. What do you do and why? Any suggestions?


EDIT: Also what stage is also an interesting thing I'd like to hear

 

[Deleted member]

I don't do training mode much but when I do I just put the CPU on random - no reason really.

 

[Kenith]

I use because I like to beat up nerds.
Although it's awkward when I'm always playing as .

 

[Kaladin]

I generally go in training mode to try stupid crap or to practice jab locking. That means it's always Ganon or Jiggs.

 

[TeddyBearYoshi]

Random, lol. I always use a custom stage.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

I used Mario when I was doing tests with Rosalina. He is the all-around fighter after all.

 

[FalKoopa]

I always go Random. It's helpful to be at least passively familiar with the moves of all the characters so you know how to deal with them in case you run into a rarely used character online.

 

[ElectricBlade]

Mario like 99% of the time, he's so average at everything so I can make quick assumptions off of him! That 1% time is when I forget to put Mario -.-

 

[Pym]

Either random or DK, I like training against the larger characters

 

[Poppy JR.]

If I'm goofing off, I'll set it to DK or Ganon, because comboing heavier characters is always fun. Otherwise, I'll use Mario, because he's the all-round kinda guy.

 

[16bit]

I use Diddy, Sheik, and Sonic on My custom training stage. I mean, they are the most common in tournaments, so preparing against them is a necessity.

 

[BSXDrayden]

Usually random on Battlefield or FD. I usually only use Training to practice fundamentals more than practicing match-ups.

 

[Blazerator]

I use mid-sized characters like Samus or Cap. Falcon

 

[Tino]

Usually, it's just Peach (mainly her), Bowser Jr., Jigglypuff and Sanic just so I could beat the **** out of them.

 

[Purin a.k.a. José]

I leave it in Random and do it Training in Battlefield. How do I change the CPU in Training? I've never knew this was possible.

 

[AlexKO]

Mario because he's average weight and size.

If I want to practice combos I'll go with the smallest character, which I believe is kirby or G&W. If I can learn to combo them consistently larger characters should be cake.

 

[ImBroken]

I would normally use bigger characters to practice combos and come up with new ones, but when I just want to warm up and stuff I just mirror.

 

[Saikyoshi]

I tend to go with one of four;

• ; not out of dislike, he just looks like a training mode opponent.
• ; Same deal with him.
• ; Specifically, Dragon King – one that's made to look like it has no face at all.
• Random; For convenience's sake.

 

[Sir Gengar de Èctoplasma]

Random, although I rarely play training mode.

 

[Quote420]

I always put in either random or Ganon. Ganon's pretty heavy, so he's good to try combos on, and I usually put in random if I'm not trying something specific.

 

[Ferblantier]

I put in a Mii with average height/weight named Dummii.

 

[Siledh]

Random. I only use Training for AT and really I'd much rather there was no CPU character there getting in my way.

 

[Deleted member]

Yoshi when practicing foot stool combos with Greninja, Captain Falcon/Peach when practicing Up-air strings with Meta Knight.

 

[srn347]

Depends on what I'm testing, though it's usually dk or mario.

 

[Heroine of Winds]

Mostly on random. I don't use training mode all that much, though.

 

[TimSin]

Random. It's good to know about all the characters.

 

[nubilepoopile]

Gold Captain Falcon because he always beats me up in For Glory.

 

[Peeta]

Captain Falcon, always and forever.

 

[AreJay25]

Usually random, although I'll pick certain characters like Bowser or Jiggs if I want to test weight specific things.

 

[Kamui Nohr]

Palutena. Her inflated ego and her so-called status still infuriate me up to this day I guess.

 

[MrMariosta1]

I always pick Bowser because I can hit things easier if they are heavier and bigger.

 

[Kurri ★]

Generally random, unless I'm training with customs on. Then I choose; Mario, because he's mid-weight; Ness, because he's closest to Random; and anyone else is for when I want to test things on that specific character.

As for stages. I always choose omega Pilotwings for:

and omega Wuhu Island for:

 

[WalrusBiscuit]

Just random really.

 

[Saikyoshi]

I made a max-defense Mii Brawler of Sandbag not too long ago. When I want to just wail on something slowly, I use that nowadays.

 

[Zodiacx10]

i put mario or captain falcon. falcon falls fast and is easy to combo and i see a lot of them on fg so its nice to see what combos against him. mario because he is in the middle as far as weight.

 

[Foster J.]

Mario, Diddy, Falcon and Kirby seem to be the ones I sandbag the most :^)

 

[Dastardly Ridleylash]

I always tend to sandbag Dark Pit, myself; partly because I hate him and partly because it's cathartic for me to beat him up.

 

[Deleted member]

I leave it at random just to give myself variety and force myself out of my comfort zone by virtue of not knowing who I am up against and making (kind of) on-the-spot decisions. I like Random for that reason. I only enter training mode if I want to practice techs with Doc or Puff.

 

[clydeaker]

I use Mario at level 1 if I'm doing some small tests because Mario is supposedly the most average and well rounded characters is smash. I try and use Mario for every test I do too (unless it requires a specific CPU character) because that way all of my data is accurate when I compare. also when you test a custom stage the default character for you and the computer is always Mario.

EDIT: Sometimes I will use characters with specific characteristics like weight, recovery height, body (hitbox) size, etc. That way I know something like what characters I can use a specific combo on.

 

[sixkami]

If I pick any character to beat down in practice it's usually Little Mac because I want to practice aerial stuff and well...

As for stages, on 3DS I go to Tomadachi Life and Onette on Wii U. Both of those stages are bright so I can see what I'm doing and I enjoy the music.
