Mother. Effing. Soul Calibur 3. The first few fights or so in story mode are pathetically easy, then the game executes fuckshitassrape.exe and the enemies begin to guard impact every single fucking blow you throw at them from any angle, every single time. I played the crap out of SC2 and unlocked every bonus weapon and what-not. I've never even beaten single player in SC3 because the ridiculous AI disgusted me so much.

Quoted for absolute truth. They nerfed many fan favorites, mine included (Talim), and everyone was, when controlled by the AI, a bunch of spam-blocking faggots. Now, I did manage to beat single-player, but only with the characters I was really good with. Spam-blocking begets spam-throwing. And even then that didn't always work.

So fighting games seem to be a popular genre in this thread, but both Virtua Fighter 4 and 5 are kinda the antithesis here. They've got great balance, and I've never felt like the computer just blatantly cheated. Maybe the endboss (that weird almagation of fighters all wrapped up in a single, shiny robot-thing) was overly difficult, but it wasn't a cheater.

How ya doing, buddy?
