Revision as of 03:57, January 5, 2016
CPU modes are different sets of AI behaviors used by computer players in different games throughout the series. Several are intended for use in Training Mode, while other actions can only be seen performed in various Melee event matches. A few modes are only accessible through the use of Melee's debug menu.
| Name | Description | Availability | Melee Debug menu name |
|---|---|---|---|
Stand   /Stop  
|
The CPU will not move and will not make any inputs to defend itself or upon getting hit, barring some exceptions:
|
Training Mode, Melee debug menu | CPTP_STAY |
| Walk | The CPU will walk back and forth across the stage. Upon encountering obstacles that it cannot traverse, the CPU will reverse directions. Other than this, it retains the same properties as "Stand". | Training Mode, Event 19: Peach's Peril (Melee), Melee debug menu | CPTP_WALK |
| Jump | The CPU will constantly single jump in place. In Smash 4, the CPU will also fast fall after every jump. Other than this, it retains the same properties as "Stand". | Training Mode, Event 21: Ice Breaker (Melee), Melee debug menu | CPTP_JUMP |
| Evade / Run
|
The CPU will actively run away from and avoid interaction with the player. Other than this, it retains the same properties as "Stand". | Training Mode, Melee debug menu | CPTP_ESCAPE |
| Attack | The CPU will behave normally, throwing out attacks and maneuvers. The level of the CPU is chosen at the character select screen, and can only be adjusted afterwards in Brawl. If the player has placed multiple Training CPUs on the stage, they will be considered on the same team and will not attack each other. In Smash 4, CPUs set to this mode in Training spam projectiles and many approach attacks (such as Falcon Kick) more often than in other game modes, also being more aggressive at low levels. |
Versus Mode, the majority of single-player modes, Training Mode, Melee debug menu | CPTP_NORMAL |
| Human/ Control 
|
The CPU will be controlled by human players using extra controllers. If multiple Training CPUs are placed on the stage, they will all need separate controllers. As with Attack mode, CPUs cannot hit each other. | Training Mode (Melee onward only, excluding Smash3DS), Melee debug menu | CPTP_MANUAL |
| Special Low Link, Special Low Samus | Causes the CPU to only use their down special move when set to Link and Samus respectively. "SPLW" is an abbreviation of "Special Low", which reflects that the character only uses their down (or "low") special. When this behavior is set to any other characters via the Debug Menu, they will constantly spam their down special in place, using even Counter, PSI Magnet and Rest, which they never use in any other situations. | Event 3: Bomb-fest (Melee), Melee debug menu | CPTP_SPLWLINK, CPTP_SPLWSAMUS |
| Freak | Causes the CPU to stay where they are, but attack when an opponent comes near. | Event 6: Kirbys on Parade (Melee), Melee debug menu | CPTP_FREAK |
| Item | Causes the CPU to attempt to grab all items that appear. Otherwise, the CPU is normal. | Event 7: Pokémon Battle (Melee), Melee debug menu | CPTP_ITEM |
| Event Zelda | Causes Zelda to transform into Sheik more often. It is presumed to stand for "Event Zelda". | Event 9: Hide 'n' Sheik (Melee), Melee debug menu | CPTP_EVZELDA |
| Only Item | Causes the CPU to only use items, as opposed to using any other attacks. | Event 37: Legendary Pokémon (Melee), Melee debug menu | CPTP_ONLYITEM |
| Nana | The default mode for the partner Ice Climber, so that he/she follows the leader, attacks with the leader, etc. | Ice Climbers partner, Melee debug menu | CPTP_NANA |
| Defensive | The CPU will only use defensive tactics, such as shields and rolls. | Melee debug menu only | CPTP_DEFENSIVE |
| Struggle | Causes the CPU to attack the nearest opponent, regardless of whether they are a human or a CPU. This is different from normal CPU behavior because a normal CPU will dedicate its attention to human opponents, unless a CPU stands between it and a human, or if there are no human opponents in the match. | Melee debug menu only | CPTP_STRUGGLE |
| Cooperate | Causes the CPU to follow the player and attack them. | Melee debug menu only | CPTP_COOPERATE |
| No Action | Causes the CPU to do absolutely nothing. This is not to be confused with "Stand", in which the CPU will still attempt to recover if knocked off. | Melee debug menu only | CPTP_NOACT |
| Air | Causes the CPU to use only short hops instead of full jumps, though it will also use them more often when approaching the player. | Melee debug menu only | CPTP_AIR |
