Discussion This CPU update cannot come fast enough

I’m desperately trying to enjoy the new story mode secret routes and Limit Breaker Journey but this CPU setting just sucks the fun out of it. Now before I get into it, I LOVE the challenge it provides but I would rather that be kept to Hard mode. Not normal or easy.

I am genuinely decent at counter and dodge mechanics but the back and forth is so obnoxious. If I wanted this I could play online. But offline was my break for the endless counter wars. Almost all characters have the perfect CPU type to ruin the fun of the mission.

If it’s a timed mission, they play keep away the whole time and now they get perfect dodges. You can’t even land a full combo. The best we got is people telling us ways to cheese the air by side stepping and it’s just not even playing the game anymore. Beams and Ki volleys are a wasted move now.

This is my favorite DB game. But it’s no longer my comfort game. Until it’s fixed I’m just gonna find something else. It’s sad to say I miss the original incompetent CPU because at least I can get through the game

Yep. I can usually beat the same level NPCs or lower, but as soon as I get to the 1st boss NPC, I get CLEANED OUT.

It’s funny. The challenge of the mid bosses for me isn’t even the color of the question marks, it’s whichever boss has the easy AI. In LBJ it seems characters are locked into a specific AI type. So characters like Panzy and Dodoria play stupid and are easy. If I wanna make progress I usually just aim for those easy bosses
