Omega Tyrant | Smash Ultimate - Level 9 CPUs can't beat Flare Blitz spam @OmegaTyrant | Uploaded 5 years ago | Updated 1 hour ago
How do Ultimate's level 9 CPUs fare against the common strategy of every Pokemon Trainer player's Charizard on Elite Smash? It turns out not very good, as CPUs still don't really know how to punish Flare Blitz and won't just shield and smash you for it, while they'll get hit by it far more than they should, so you can spam it against them with impunity. Back in Smash 4 I made a video showing how the game's level 9 CPUs didn't know how to deal with Flare Blitz and would just let you Flare Blitz over and over again while not punishing you for hitting their shield with it, if they shielded it at all, so I decided to try it out in Ultimate, where it works pretty much the same. Now the CPUs may actually punish you occasionally for it in Ultimate, and once in a while may even do a double parry to some smash, but usually they let you get away with it and you'll end up hitting them more often than they hit you with a move that will kill in 3-6 hits, enough so that three stock victories against them with just Flare Blitz are very possible. I did a Squad Strike match against three different CPUs to show off that this isn't a flaw with a specific character AI rather than it being a general AI flaw.
To see the aforementioned Smash 4 video this is based on go here youtube.com/watch?v=gvJ-KaACyz0
Now after the Ultimate Luigi video I'm going to be resting a bit before doing another big video, but for the next big project it's probably going to be an Ultimate version of a Smash 4 montage I did featuring our perfect penguin and his love of clobbahing.
