Any way(s) to make the CPU more of a challenge?

"House rules" for the user, certain settings? Anything to handicap the human fighter, short of playing blindfolded? The CPU is really easy to beat, even on the highest difficulties.

Turning off the HUD makes a decent difference. Otherwise the only thing you can do is just not pressure fight which sucks but the AI can't handle it at all. If you have a few beers first it's pretty good.

That is the first thing I did when I picked up this game was turn off the HUD, I can't stand em. It adds a additional layer of challenge to the game. I usually play on hard and like fballturkey said, beer helps.

I feel old and terrible at this game reading this thread. I can't submit the computer and have a hell of a hard time escaping their submissions. The problem I have is that I can outstrike the cpu, but if I increase the difficulty to make striking more even then i can't win the submission game in that case, and i get so much more gratification winning with jiu jitsu than a kayo.

Pretty sure i just found a long-winded way of saying I wish their were sliders.

I'd agree with two point made above and I'll add one:
- drink some beer
- no hud
- find a lowly ranked fighter who is still fun for you. This has been a lot of fun for me, and I'm learning about guys is never heard of previously

You want this game hard.

1. Don't smoke herbal medicine

2. Try different difficulties, for some reason in the past the AI played better at intermediate and second to last difficulties imo

3. Wear oven mitts

4. Punch yourself every time CPU strikes you, since it's offline you can pause and do a good job of that

5. If all else fails, adopt a bunch of kittens and dumb a bag of catnip on yourself before you playing

Don't feel bad.. or old for that matter. Chances are I'm probably older than you. Anyhow, I can't submit the CPU either. I have a fine ground game and get out of submissions quite easily but I don't think I have the reaction to pull off submissions. I never get much further than 2 or 3rd gate.
