How's the AI?

I'm not exactly the best when it comes to fighting games, but I like having mash-ups between characters. How does this compare to, say, Ultimate Ninja Storm in the fighting department? Also how does the AI stack up against medium-ish players?

The AI is great actually, Pretty smart and much better then the 1st installment.
I personally enjoy this a lot more then Naruto but I am also a bigger fan of My Hero so that might be my biased speaking.

In terms of gameplay it does as much as any Storm game does.
Not more not less.
I think as a medium player you can get plenty of fun out of the single player modes.

Uh.. IDK what the other guy is on about, It's pretty bad from my experience even on highest difficulty.

It depends on how you play, after beating the AI I'm assuming they are level 3 (out of 5) and have become easy. I still struggle or rather find a few AI that pull some slick moves but until I try higher difficulty I will say that the AI is good but can at times be cheesed.

The AI has been improved compared to the first one but it's still pretty bad compared to, say, the Naruto Storm games. A huge part of the problem is due to MHOJ's mechanics and not the AI themselves. The game is just too floaty and gives players more freedom to turtle and run away. And the AI will of course abuse that. Contrast it with the Storm games, where the players are much faster and the gameplay is more conducive to an aggressive playstyle.

...The exception is the Inasa AI. Try it for yourself, regardless of difficulty, it's going to do nothing except run away, sometimes in circles. You'll have to get in its face and chase it around before it even tries to attack you.

I own both games now and can say you that the AI in this one is better ! For me the close combat characters act pretty good(at least for me a challenge) while the range chars have some real trouble if you fight them in close combat. I would it´s worth the price.

Edit. Compared to the storm series i would say the close combat guys (muscular fml ) are well coded and the max difficult on storm(without handicap etc) . The range chars are on medium difficult compared to storms.
