Friendship!?

I like it when the cpu uses harmless attacks as their last move, it's reminiscent of the friendship moves from Mortal Kombat. Examples - Rainbow dirting themselves, turn-and-burning right up next to me, bubble wrapping/earth moving/tunneling me etc. Another good one is if they are winning and use pedestal as their last one just to gloat.

You mean like when they do something that helps you?

i think he just means a weapon they gloat you with.

like, "look at me, i can do whatever i want because you can't do squat about it!"

CPUs will not use weapons such as Pedestal or Turn and Burn until they see a good opportunity to do so.
This is why they tend to use them last.

I like it when they use Elevator and I have a Scorcher.

I got around 300 points from that about 2 min. ago.

Killer Instinct > Mortal Kombat

Anyways...

Yeah, the CPU has a mind of it's own sometimes...It doesn't like me, it keeps shooting at me for some reason.

Yeah, the CPU doesn't like anyone.

I don't think so. The CPU is pretty brainless with regard to strategy. Say you have 3 dirtballs in your inventory. The CPU will waste a dirt remover or something. The CPU has perfect aim and is able to somewhat aim at the right spot even if you're above or below mud. However, it's AI between shots and saving weapons for the right opportunity are terrible. Not to mention its weapon selection. I'm probably 90% against the CPU at level 10.
