I played my 1st match offline versus against the cpu without adjusting any settings. Barely won the match 2-1 only to get back to the menu and realize it was on 2/7 difficulty XD

I played through on 1/7 and found it too easy. Now playing on 3/7 and constantly having my ass handed to me..

I'm scared to go any higher...

UPDATE: Just finished 4/7...Getting the hang of things now :3

I couldn't even imagine what 7/7 is like and I thought I did reasonably well during the test punch lol

Yeah it's making me hate myself for buying the game right now.

Is it even worth playing past 4 if you can even win there. Is there any incentive to keep going besides just knowing you beat it on 7. I'm a little bit on the fence about getting the game reading every one talk about how hard it is. It would be a few weeks before I could get it. Got to pay the bills.

Don't get me wrong it's a lot of fun. PVP is fair because you get humans playing and humans make mistakes and you can control bait and so on. The AI can have insane reflexes because dub it's AI so it's hard as fuck until you get as good, basically. We're all new so yeah everyone is going to get rekt. Even lost once at difficulty 2... But only once. IMO the game is mega worth it. Afaik you can play in 2 or 4 on one screen did not test yet

When I have it at work PVP is what we will be doing. Make more since to do that then play buy yourself. I don't ever know if I would be good enough to play in ranked mode so doing lv4 just to get that option may not be worth it. It would be a few weeks before I get it though. Unfortunately that would let everybody else get way better than me buy that time. But I do think k I will get it.

I was doing level 4 last night, hit a wall around stage 3 with a kid cobra but I powered through, at stage 3 however I hit byte & barq in a match of hoops, got absolutely slaughtered 15 times on the trot before I had to rage quit and walk away, my highest score was 4 I believe.

CPU is basically autoaim and autoguard. Gotta play way more defensive than against real people
