| Apr 10, 2012 at 15:47 | comment | added | Toomai | According to smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=300461 CPU players react to the state of the opponents, not the buttons pressed by the players. This would still allow frame-by-frame reaction time but technically has nothing to do with input. | |

What do they expect, that the AI will do image processing on character animations to figure out what they're doing? You'd have trouble doing that on a modern high-end computer in real time, much less on the Wii. | |
| Apr 10, 2012 at 15:05 | comment | added | BlueRaja - Danny Pflughoeft | @Ben: As a software developer, I would say it was most likely not even intentional - it is very easy/clean/obvious to have the AI react to internal state (which would get updated immediately), but having it react to things a human would react to (such as the current animation-frame) is probably something they never even considered. There is probably some built-in reaction-delay, and at the highest difficulty the delay is set to 0. This is the same way I would have done it. | |
