It's not even a recent thing. Street Fighter 2 had complete bullshit AI later on, with characters like Guile pulling off charge moves without charging. For instance, he'd walk up to you and pull off an instant Sonic Kick as if it was a Dragon Punch, whereas you need to hold down for a moment before pressing up and kick to activate the move.

Zangief's hyper fast machinegun light punching and low kicking were other particular "Oh come ON" moments I remember.

They had that in SC II. Back when conquest mode was popular, I uh, abused the AI of Ivy a lot. If you go against the stupid set of AIs(Mostly those who you knew thier moveset/or they sucked) and as well played one of the nub comps/low win people as your last battle.). You could easily get the 8 way turn + approach enemy and hit A + B for that god like grab. Or even use foward + a + B to grab them and as the move is finishing you could do that 8 way rotate and do teh A + B grab like that as they come out of it.

Basically my Ivy was so cheap, she could guard impact then do that special grab. It was rather funny to me to see how cheap you could exploit the AI cause the Ivy with AI, they don't have to put the inputs for that grab, all they have to do is just grab.

They could be busy in a vehicle trying to take out my retarded teammates, but as soon as I show up, they drop everything they're doing and focus fire me. Which..only takes a second, if that, with some of the vehicles in that game.

Frickin' hate Warfare.

I really never had a problem with UT3 but I do know what you mean about the bots stopping only to take you out. Then again, the reason UT3 was easy to me is cause I hated 2k3 and 2k4. The orignal UT was the best and I am glad they made UT3 a bit more like UT. Though some of the gamemodes I was unhappy with + the veicles. I rather miss the good ole days of assault of UT. Mostly of taking over a battleship, taking over a castle and etc. Assault in the first UT was the best just because the objectives were a bit easy unless the defenders REALLY knew what they were doing.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

That's cause first place does not deserve good items. In ANY Mario Kart game, regardless of how good you are at turning or whatever. Comps will drive faster then you(Aka seeing Bowser get hit by a item and drive off like it was nothing.) and so much more. I didn't even bother beating DD all the way due to it being stupid. MK64 was cheap cause if you didn't see someoen 'fall' off or 'get hit' by an item. They automatically recovered.

Yeah SC games were bullshit in that, espeically gotta love the prediction moves in weapon master mode. I basically had to spam/keep away from the comp using Klik/Ivy just so I wouldn't get hit.

Oh and note on UT series. You ever notice that around the 3rd hardest bots or higher, they tend to hack? I mean instantly know where your game is pointing/will shoot. Know where you are and get instant HS and all that jazz. Only in the first UT was Godlike actually balance were they were hard but not too hard. Though then again in the first UT, it was easy to play insta gib 1v7 matches on godlike and easily win.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
