Ever wonder how a certain character can be absolutely beast in the hands of the AI, yet despite practicing like crazy they just utterly suck as player characters? I'm curious to see what everyone thinks. Prime examples for me:
Noob - A special move spamming, lightning quick machine in the hands of the AI. As a player character, IMO, he utterly sucks. I spent 40 minutes practicing with him and learning everything he can do, and yet got pwned on Medium AI. I've beaten the game with most characters, and haven't gotten thrashed with anyone as much as I do with Noob. Somehow when he's not AI controlled he loses all of that speed and power. Kinda sucks since he's one of my all-around favorites design and story-wise.
Reptile - A true monster powerhouse in the AI's control...I've actually seen people saying he's too powerful and should be nerfed. In player hands I personally think he sucks. Granted, I haven't given him a lot of time, I want to learn him a bit more, but so far he's one of my worst.
I would say i'm pretty damn decent at this game so far, can't say much when it comes to playing other people (PS3 :???
, but these two characters seem to be night and day when it comes to being controlled by AI and controlled by a player. What little online time I did get in saw that Reptile was a poorly used character by other people as well.
Note that this isn't a "waaaaa I suck with soandso" thread, but I'm curious to see if anyone else has experienced this in their gameplay.
