AI behavior - an appreciation post
For long, the community wanted a real time PvP experience and the current state of AI happens to come closer in providing the same experience.
Before all the bashers could click on the disagree button and all the personal attacks that are going to pour in, hear me out.
Let us keep the ultra quick recovery of AI post a special or heavy attack aside. If we happen to fight on a real-time pvp mode, what are the things we would likely do?
Quoting a few behavioral traits:
1. If there is a power sting on us, we would hold throwing the specials
2. Deploy the most basic counter attaks like parry, Dex, intercept to the best of our capabilities
3. Hold on to the specials, when we know our sp3 can knock off the opponent
4. Would we throw specials, just because the opponent is gonna hit the block and draft back a couple of times?
5. Utilize unstoppable and unblockable like there is no tomorrow
AI simply does the same.
Why does this needs to be fixed? Adding nodes to the mix, increases the difficulty. But yeah, how long should the game stick to tap, tap, tap, step back, tap to win sequence?
