Flaws in artificial intelligence: Difference between revisions

In spite of all the improvements made to the AI, CPU-controlled players are still flawed in many ways. Some of these problems return from ''Smash 4'' despite their frequency: several CPUs still retain their inability to recover, such as Little Mac (CPUs will never use his now-buffed [[Jolt Haymaker]] to extend his recovery alongside [[Rising Uppercut]]) and {{SSBU|Bayonetta}} (CPUs still fail to use [[After Burner Kick]] after a [[Witch Twist]], therefore dying extremely early). CPUs controlling fighters with projectiles will still only use them at a certain distance most of the time, most notoriously with {{SSBU|Cloud}}, who will still launch a [[Blade Beam]] at far enough distances even if it means expending a charged [[Limit Break|Limit Gauge]]). Those with specific KO throws will still depend on their [[back throw]] to KO at high percentages, regardless of positioning or effectiveness of the throw compared to others, and CPUs will still [[pummel]] extremely slowly despite the increase to [[pummel]] speeds. As with previous games, higher-leveled CPUs can also be baited to use laggy moves or dodges to put them in an instant disadvantage, such as shielding to force a CPU {{SSBU|Incineroar}} to attempt an [[Alolan Whip]], or using a quick aerial to make them waste their [[air dodge]], which can no longer be spammed in ''Ultimate''.
