The top AI players are pretty decent at what they do, but if you're a word puzzle aficionado you'll probably want to play
against human opponents if you want to be challenged.
Not exact matches
It would have been easy to overlook it
if the offline mode had any content, but it is restricted to either local co-op or fighting
against the AI in matches that don't offer the same excitement as a
human opponent.
Luckily, fighting games are best enjoyed
against a
human opponent, and solo play is secondary
if you're able to find a sparring partner.
Another area of complaint I have relates back to those joyous memories of playing the previous games — I'm not sure
if it's just me but the A.I seems to be, well, a bit of a dick; when playing online
against human opponents you'd expect to be constantly spammed by an overpowered move like Ryu's Hadouken, but when going up
against the CPU?
With the latter said,
if you purchase this game intending to play
against human opponents, I would advise you to only do so
if you know others who own the game, or
if you have other people available to play
against in the same room.
