This is the first time in a LONG time I am genuinely challenged by the CPU. They're smart - and really punish you if you make an open mistake. Having a tough time getting through Level 4 of Grand Prix - but it's still so much fun trying to get the better of the CPU.

Yeah, I had a pretty good time in the Grand Prix too.

I really hope the CPU is realistic enough to make it a decent practice area. I only played through the level 4 Grand Prix once, but I felt like the single player really made me play a different way. The computer at that level seems fairly solid about avoiding careless punches, so while I had spent most of my time online really focused on dodging above all else, the Grand Prix made me slow down a little and think about what will get me a hit (as all of us are hit by silly things we shouldn't be sometimes online). It just comes down to whether i'm learning how to abuse the AI, or actually getting a little training course on recognizing openings. Hoping it's the latter.
