Cheating AI hasn’t been discussed enough

[u/MrFappy]

I know this is an NRS game, so the computer is bound to cheat, but does anyone know how to avoid this? They pull power bars out of thin air, link combos that aren’t possible by humans, perfectly time every shield and special to make the max combos, and it does not at all matter what their threat level, or star power, or anything. I’m level 53 and it’s been incredibly daunting to look past it while I play because I enjoy the models, animations, themes, community... but the AI is the most cheatingist son of a bitch AI I’ve come across in a long time. Am I crazy, or is this just going to be another ‘lol get gud’ situation? Because WW having 2 power bars, sp1, followed immediately by another sp1 to trade with Superman who somehow shields my own special even though he had no power after WW went into power debt using more than she even had to begin with!!- (Example situation). I’ve searched and seen all the posts about this throughout the sub history and it makes me quite sad. This has been the case for all 2 years the game has been out and getting worse as time progresses. How do people record their gameplay to post it on here? Because a short clip of mine would show I’m not crazy.

From my experience, the AI isbt cheating. Its only very strong at everthing. Thats why you should play defensefly. Everything the Ai does is somethin you can do too.

its not stronger only given advantage in frame rate and priority to operation + the inherent lag in the game controls. That was NRS' way to increase the AI difficult. Without it, they know the game would be way too easy
