Flaws in artificial intelligence: Difference between revisions

The AI in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' is also notorious for how flawed it is. CPUs now have an even poorer [[approach]], always [[walk]]ing towards the player while periodically using projectiles, then [[spam]]ming their [[dash grab]] and jabs at close range, rarely using tilts or smashes outside specific situations. Unlike in ''SSB'', CPUs never [[dash]] at all other than for using dash grabs and [[dash attack]]s, and perform them instantly during the first frames of the initial dash, thus barely moving forward at all. They additionally never charge smash attacks (the {{SSBM|Ice Climbers}}' forward smash being the sole exception), and still won't attempt to attack grounded foes with aerials. CPUs also have a tendency to overuse other moves of specific characters, such as {{SSBM|Ganondorf}}'s [[Dark Dive]], {{SSBM|Zelda}}'s [[down tilt]], {{SSBM|Yoshi}}'s [[Egg Lay]] and {{SSBM|Mr. Game & Watch}}'s dash attack. Some characters are programmed to have bad follow-ups: {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}} for example will always use a down-throw followed by a [[Raptor Boost]] which rarely hits (depending on the character, percentage, and DI) and result in a self-destruct when done near the ledge. The overuse of jabs and grabs causes CPUs in ''Melee'' to generally have poor KOing abilities, as these moves are significantly weak in comparison to the smash attacks CPUs often used in ''SSB''.
