[@joshuaxiong8377]

imo i think it's just lazy AI design. i would rather pay a credit to play against well designed AI for a few matches than have cheating AI for potentially unlimited matches. it even shows in their console games as of today. the AI is jank and cheating, rather than being an acceptable simulation of how fighting another player could be. funny how it hasn't evolved since the 80s. this is why player vs player arcade matches and paying a fee at an LGS or event is so much better. you get proper and rewarding gameplay that makes you want more, even if there is a (sometimes) bigger price tag.

[@RonIsElite]

I totally agree with y’all about the AI in street fighter

[@patrykdabrowski1788]

That's pretty much every early arcade fighter ever. Apparently the ai system in one of the early MK games can literally counter anything you do whenever it chooses, and the difficulty level only changes how much it chooses to not do that. So you pretty much have to depend on luck. Pretty much no 90s arcade fighter has easy ai, and this is the reason

Another thing I discovered back then, is an easier method to fight Akuma. Have player 2 join in and use all 11 characters and beat them. Minus Bison, since it never works.
