AI Aggression

[mmageek]

I don't know if anyone else has experienced, but every time I do fight now the AI is super aggressive and never stops stalking me down and throwing strikes. Even when I'm rocking them and knocking them down constantly they're just getting back up and coming for more. Pretty unrealistic.

I fought Frankie Edgar, Robert Whittaker, and and Stipe on Normal.

Well, Stipe is (usually) a pressure fighter and should come after you pretty aggressively, Frankie and Bobby Knuckles shouldn't though.

I've been hearing a lot of people say the AI is too aggressive/difficult, just wanted to double check that you weren't complaining about RDA or Khabib on legendary or something, saw some of that going on over on Reddit

It actually doesn't bother me that much that fighters would be aggressive, it was just odd how much so. As Holloway I was straight murdering Frankie, landing shot after shot and knockdown after knockdown, and he would still just pop back up, run after me and start slugging.

Re: AI Aggression

I wonder if they become more conservative at high levels, in some ways.

Perhaps they become more aware of the risks or something? I never saw this hyper aggression on aholberts stream and that was on hard, right?

Interesting.

Stipe and Edgar have custom AI. Stipe's is more aggressive but not overly when I played it. Edgar's isnt. He keeps his distance and moves alot. I fought it last night on Hard and I actually had difficulty landing.

Here is the thing: How you play matters and how successful the AI is matters when it comes to aggression. If you are constantly pushing forward and throwing strikes, the AI tends answer those strikes (if that particular AI is set to counter more).

Also, if its landing and a particular technique is working, it will continue to use that technique until you stop it.

One last thing is try custom fight now and turn the stamina up a couple of notches, this will limit the number of strikes the AI will throw as it tries to manage its stamina.

Its actually the opposite. They are more aggressive at pro and legendary. With that said, the fact that he said Edgar was aggressive is strange. I fought Edgar AND a Caf that uses Edgar'a AI and both were staying on the outside the whole fight.

Can you bait Edgar forward or does the AI have infinite patience? Like, Aldo beat Edgar by convincing him to come forward

Its not infinite. I've stood there for 30 seconds or more but eventually the aI will come forward. The crowd will start booing too.

Re: AI Aggression

I might be asking for a bit much, but could you guys upload videos where you thought the AI was off?

That way, we can look at the footage and see. Different people have different views on aggressive fighting so would be cool to have multiple input on a single fight.

Sometimes I'll have a fight that I thought was super dull or action packed, re-watch it and there wasn't actually much going on.

That's good, 30 seconds feels like the right amount of time
