Yea the cpu in this game (level 9 at least) are ridiculous. They are clearly reading your inputs but its good practice.
Some more impressions since we had this game for over a week now playing it every day
K Rool is by far the best heavyweight. He's really damn good
Inceniroar is kinda insane in dubs. His command grab side b just goes through everything plus his uair juggles are pretty insane.
Bayonetta has been nerfed to the ground
Mii Gunner is surprisingly really damn good.
You can now charge your b move and cancel it and keep the charge(Samus)
You no longer have to time your tech. Just hold the shoulder button when launched and it will auto tech(dont like this)
The (kill flash) doesn't 100% mean your dead. About 85 percent i would say but basically always try to come back regardless of the flash.
Ridley is a threat on the ground. A proper spaced side b does 60 percent. However his recovery is absolutely terrible (which doesn't make sense seeing as he has wings lol) You can easily gimp him once off stage.
Ken just seems like a better Ryu in every way in the same vein as Young Link just seems better then Toon link in every way.
You can no longer zair out of air dodge
