I want to take on the JP Lv8 CPU!<\/font><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Fighting games up to this point, including Street Fighter V, have generally had irrational and one-dimensional CPU opponents when it comes to providing strong foes for players to face. Their strength often came from their inhuman reflexes and input speeds which gave them their own quirks you wouldn\u2019t experience against human opponents. They had an image of moving clumsily while having quick reactions, extremely accurate blocking, and a counter for whatever you threw at it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, this kind of opponent is difficult, but the super fast response times often felt unnatural. Learning the quirks of the CPU to beat it would make for a fight that\u2019s totally different from playing human opponents.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u3010\u30b9\u30c82\u30bf\u30fc\u30dc\u3011\u6700\u9ad8\u96e3\u6613\u5ea6\u306e\u7406\u4e0d\u5c3d\u3059\u304e\u308bCPU\u9054VS\u30d7\u30ed\u30b2\u30fc\u30de\u30fc\uff08\u8ca0\u3051\u8a66\u5408\u96c6\uff09\u3010\u30cf\u30a4\u30bf\u30cb\u3011\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/a45MBmyJbV0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>On the other hand, Street Fighter 6\u2019s CPUs give the impression of human-like play. While you can still see some of the previously mentioned \u201cCPU-ness,\u201d it doesn\u2019t feel absurd or unnatural and is more like playing against a skilled player.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Firstly, the Lv8 CPU maintains spacing and attacks in a variety of ways. Above all else, it felt like it excelled at understanding the character, picking actions based on spacing, combo selection and input accuracy, and understanding the game\u2019s mechanics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These elements aren\u2019t necessarily particular to a CPUs reaction or input speed, but skills a human player could learn with enough practice. The Lv8 CPU in Street Fighter 6 isn\u2019t simply hard, but gives the impression you\u2019re playing someone who is good at that character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, the more absurd side of a CPU always seeming to have a perfectly timed block or counter has been put in check. Of course, if you just jump in, you\u2019re going to eat an anti-air attack, but its accuracy isn\u2019t always 100%. In summary, the Lv8 CPU is extremely tough but in a human-like way. You could say it\u2019s a great way to experience what it\u2019s like to play against a strong player.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"636\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/20230422-244973-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18558\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/20230422-244973-001.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/20230422-244973-001-600x298.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/20230422-244973-001-380x189.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/20230422-244973-001-768x382.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/20230422-244973-001-150x75.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/20230422-244973-001-300x149.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/20230422-244973-001-696x346.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/20230422-244973-001-1068x531.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/20230422-244973-001-845x420.jpg 845w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/20230422-244973-001-324x160.jpg 324w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>With all of the new mechanics and characters coming to Street Fighter 6, using the CPU as an opponent, or a teacher, could be a good way to try learning the game.
