Fighter AI Realism vs Difficulty

Also, a suggestion - why not add a 32 and 64 fighter bracket, not just 16. Surely that can't be hard to do? Oh my, Stipe dropped my Lamas with ease now. Is it realistic?

Its like that now. I was able to rock DJ with Struve within seconds just by landing a clean strike.

Yeah, I noticed. With continued damage I struggled to hurt Rothwell with Iaquinta. Another question, does continued damage mean lower stamina as well? I'm asking because I played with the HUD off.

Are you talking about the continued damaged feature of tournaments?

Where you'll keep the damage sustained in fight A into fight B?

If so, yes, stamina drain carries too.

If I'm not mistaken, you get a slight stam boost between fights, but if you finish your 2nd fight gassed there's a very good chance you'll start the 3rd gassed.

I'm sure this has been discussed but the ai is poor at stamina management. They throw so many power strikes from far away they are completely gassed by the third round if not sooner.

Yeah this has been brought up a fair few times and may be partially fixed in the new patch.

It got worse after the tuner before last with the 50% whiff tax, as the AI has doesn't compensate for that at all.

Hopefully it gets tweaked as I REALLY don't want to have to increase AI stamina sliders (as this inadvertently increases output, which I don't want at all)

Grapplers are once again hit the worst, as they have 0 stamina management already and gas extremely quickly due to the fact they won't stop shooting TDs even if you've sprawled the last 20 and have a HUGE stam advantage.

Fingers crossed

I have a suggestion for AI and low kicks.

The AI NEEDS to STOP throwing low kicks once its leg has been in a health event twice or more.

I'm legitimately sick of.beating all low kick heavy AIs with checks.
It's all you need to do, Barboza, Overeem and Aldo all spam low kicks that frequently and with ill abandon its actually hard to not win via Check.

They'll damage their leg on a check, then immediately throw another low kick off the same leg, instigating the immediate health event.

What I would like to see. Is the AI abandon low kicks completely once its leg is at 35% health or lower.

By this stage. It's basically mangled, and kicking with it is 50x more risk than reward. It's pointless, especially given how predictable the AI can be with low kicks at times.

I don't know if its possible in the current system, but I hope so.

I'd love to see something like 35% leg damage = No low kicks of that leg, increased check rate, slower, stance switch (if the fighter has 87 switch or higher)

Currently AIs will come out of low kick health events and IMMEDIATELY blast low kicks again.

I think they should be mindful of protecting the damaged leg, they can still throw low kicks off the other leg.

But if I've destroyed Barbozas lead leg, and instead of switching, or throwing off the rear, he low kicks me with it and collapses due to a check, it just drags me out of my immersive cocoon as it seems jarringly foolish.

What do people think?
This would have the side effect of making low kick check finishes vs the AI extremely rare if not impossible, but I'm of the belief they are far too easy to get against low-kicking AIs currently, you can just sit back and not throw anything and check.

They'll always keep kicking til their legs give out and they TKO themselves in my experience.
