Artificial intelligence levels range from 1 to 9, with 1 being the weakest and 9 being the strongest. The default CPU level in Versus matches is 1 for ''Melee'' and 3 in all other games, although rule settings in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' allow players to select which level CPUs default to. In general, the level of an AI opponent determines how likely they are to follow through with a decision, as well as how fast they react, which results in the illusion of more skill - both a level 1 and a level 9 AI will decide to do something such as input an attack, but the level 1 will almost never do so, waiting for a long time before eventually doing it, while the level 9 almost always will instantly. Likewise, lower level CPUs are unlikely to [[shield]] or [[dodge]] an attack, using [[roll]]s simply to reposition themselves in some instances, and almost never using their [[shield]] at all, or at random times in ''Brawl''. On the other hand, higher-level ones almost always defend from attacks, generally having good reflexes or dodging any attack when not in lag - in all games, level 9 CPUs are able to perfectly land attacks against opponents when at the appropriate range from them, and in ''Brawl'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', and ''Ultimate'', they can defend against almost any attack with one-frame reactions, resulting in disproportionate [[perfect shield]]ing and [[dodging]] capabilities | Artificial intelligence levels range from 1 to 9, with 1 being the weakest and 9 being the strongest.

Also due to this change in reflexes, low-level CPUs are prone to simply standing next to their opponent and using a weak attack such as a [[neutral attack]] or [[tilt]], while high-level CPUs use [[aerial attack]]s, [[smash attack]]s, and [[grab]]s more prominently. | ||
The AI's [[recovery]] also improves as their level is increased: CPUs at low levels tend to recover in a simple and predictable pattern with their [[up special]]s, or may not use them at all in ''SSB'', while high-level ones in ''Brawl'', ''Smash 4'', and ''Ultimate'' are capable of properly combining or alternating between different recovery techniques. For example, CPU {{SSB4|Luigi}} in ''Smash 4'' only uses his [[Super Jump Punch]] to recover at low levels (specifically Level 1 to 5), while at high levels (6-9) he also makes use of his [[Green Missile]] and [[Luigi Cyclone]]. | The AI's [[recovery]] also improves as their level is increased: CPUs at low levels tend to recover in a simple and predictable pattern with their [[up special]]s, or may not use them at all in ''SSB'', while high-level ones in ''Brawl'', ''Smash 4'', and ''Ultimate'' are capable of properly combining or alternating between different recovery techniques.
