AI is Unbelievable.

AI is terrible.
Key to breaking the secrets of a game to every gamer is consistency. Games are puzzles. You feel rewarded when you solve them. They might cause the occasional head scratching or burst of frustration but a game is simply not meant to weigh you down to the point of depression and thats where I am due to the AI. Im a pretty decent player, not too stellar but not too shabby which is why it does my head in when simple things that shouldnt be a problem cost me matches. The AI intercepts like a stealth jet over international waters, intercepts my intercepts, intercepts backdraft, launching an SP should leave you on plus frames but if you try to attack you get intercepted, SP3 leaves your opponent on the floor but somehow the AI manages to recover and intercept before you complete your dash. This level of AI that seems to learn from your playstyle just to counter it is counterintuitive to what makes a game good. Its reminiscent of elitist games that take out the game difficulty selector, electing to force everyone into a hellish experience in the name of “gaming”

It's a joke. AI is a joke...I'm constantly saying "throw your special" while I'm playing. Then AI has the ability to intercept everything on us now...with just a light attack too.

My favorite is when I particularly know I have the proper spatial awareness to avoid an attack, but SOME HOW SOME WAY???,AI has the ability to still hit me. Usually AI will just take an extra long step and still be able to hit you no matter where you stand.

It's an absolute joke.

You gotta love how AI move twice the speed of light forward, while you're dashing back in molasses in half the speed. You anticipate AI moving forward, but end up clipped no matter how fast you dash back.

Absolutely could not agree more!! And anytime I have brought it up here it gets deleted. I swear it’s done just to suck units.

So damn true. It has to be an error right? I would be able tell that it is intended by Kabam if the AI was always fast as lightning, but the AI is NOT always fast. Only in 5 out of 10 matches I face an opponent who medium dashes that fast. So frustrating, specially when I'm trying to heavy intercept using Scorpion.

They did something with the AI a while ago and they can try and say they didn’t but I have been playing for a super long time and the AI can do stuff only players did now.

Bruhh the light intercepts are ridiculous. 😭😭😭 then Ive also experienced the extra reach of AI. It seems like they game breaks its own mechanics sometimes.

I am trying to finish some paths on Act 7 now. The path I'm on now, AI purposefully won't use its SP, but I have to use my SP every 20 seconds and I can't use the same SP in a row. I have to use my SP right when the tiner goes out. So, AI waits while they have 2 bars until my 20 seconds is up for me to get stunned...knowing I'm trying to taunt them because I am avoiding their SP3.

I can't take the irresponsibility of Kabam to not fix AI.

AI is passive and speeds up when it needs to and also is able to extend its reach on several SP attacks.

This is disrespectful to all of us who play this game daily and keep their company alive.

Honestly if it wasn't for the Marvel name I wouldn't bother playing this.

My biggest annoyance is when they have a heavy attack that reaches double the distance it normally does.

Bruh they dont even bother anymore. I recently noticed another bug with the AI in AQ. On three differnt occasions I got countered with a light IMMEDIATELY after completing a 5 hit combo, the normal knockback that sets you up to parry isnt there so the AI straight counters with a light into a combo. Get Rekt.

AI = artificial intelligence? More like Annoying Idiosyncrasy to all players. AI is weird behaving, cannot coordinate their attacks properly and what the heck is that Taunt for when AI does not even want to throw special till SP3, all or nothing? Dear Kabam, don't start new updates until your team is ready to tackle the bugs and current issues, deal with the AI first. Better create an AI that suits well in all game modes to satisfy your customers, or else prepare to lose them!

Agreed on your points. I hope Kabam reads this.

This is exactly what is happening and to the OP’s point, what results in the irritating AF inconsistency in the game.
To everyone blaming the AI, this is NOT the AI’s doing, it is only doing what’s it’s designed to do and exploiting what the game devs have coded and doing it with the precision of a computer! It’s unfair because we can’t hope to be able to exploit the fight mechanics with the precision it can and so in truth, this all comes back to coding practices and what the game devs have been pushing the game engine to do in order to make the game progressively harder. As one summoner so eloquently put it, if they don’t stop this madness we’ll soon be dealing with a Kobayashi Maru scenario, an unbeatable game.

Kabam says they haven't touched the AI for years. If that's true it may explain why it's behaving a lot differently now. Everything needs maintenance. Maybe bugs have crept in over time or the code has degraded somewhat so to speak.

When AI decides not to throw a sp, and starting dancing back and forth with ya.
It's mcod: marvel contest of dancing

Agreed on your points. I hope Kabam reads this.

They will read it and delete it
