Bad user experience: Sometimes it feels like the AI is cheating

HERU

With some recent tune-ups of the AI, the defending champ behaves in weird ways that don't feel human. It's like the AI can perform some action faster than the fastest MCOC player, for example:

- dashing at you then parrying mid-dash while the human player dashes forward to intercept
- light intercepting during their dash forward or backward
- parry/evade while the human player is chaining a special after a combo
- parry/evade after the first hit of a medium and even a special 1 or 2

I know you try and make the behavior of the AI more and more challenging, but this does not feel natural. The AI should behave like a human, not like Terminator. Read Asimov's books.

When these weird actions happen, the player's experience turns into a bad/frustrating one, the same as when fighting in BGs against an opponent that's using mods/cheats.

Unfortunatly, the AI has always been able to outperform us, and this latest tuneup is just tightening the screws.

True. It's even worst now, because the inputs are so broken, a human player can't do a simple parry-heavy and the AI is Neo in the Matrix movie
