The Lack of Difficulty Against the AI
So I admit, at the beginning when you start the game, it's really hard, but once you've completed the entire story mode at 100% and mastered the gameplay, you can't help but notice the progress you've made. And then the following problem arises:

In solo play, you can only fight AIs in VS battlers, but even at the maximum difficulty level (Super), I can wipe out a team of 5 characters using just one. It's a bit annoying. You don't really have fun anymore because there’s no challenge.

The worst part is that I feel like the AI in VS battles is weaker than the AI in story mode. I find the Super difficulty very easy compared to some of the fights I had in story mode where the AIs would blatantly input read and abusively counter everything.

It's sad because once the story is finished, there's no more difficulty in solo play, and I quickly got tired of multiplayer since it’s basically just fighting Goku UI, Vegito, Gogeta in 90% of the matches, which gets boring fast.

I hope we’ll see an update to increase the difficulty in VS battles.

I was going to post the same thing pretty much. The story is so much harder then th AI we get from VS battles. It's so annoying and doesn't give good practice at all.

I'd award you btw but my points are low atm.

The modders will figure it out if the devs don't update the difficulty mode. BT4 mod from BT3 had Z difficulty and it was so difficult to play against the AI.

Anyway people playing on other platforms probably won't get mods.

I've heard it can get better if we add IA behaviors with capsules (the ones you can purchase) but that should not be necessary..

The one thing you're not saying, is how you're fighting the AI. Going into sparking and doing combos is easy no matter how you slice it, but going fisti cuffs with them is going to end up being a back and forth fight. The AI rarely uses their supers and prefers to melee you down and counter you when you try. Further, if you want to fight the AI at its best, go to custom, set it to level 20 and enjoy.

Pareil. Mais les combats en ranked avec les team dp sont bien plus intéressant que les solo, car si ils prennent que des goku en dp 10, contre une team complète ils peuvent rien faire du tout. Testé et approuvé.

How are we supposed to know what custom story you're talking about ?

yeah i posted about this yesterday but the lack of difficulty from battles and the DRASTIC difference between episode battle AI and regular battle AI is huge. regular battle AI is just so boring to fight against especially when you move away from sparking mode in the episode battles and rely on combos.

I do agree with OP though regarding fighting the AI using melee in Super difficulty. The goal is basically to get on each other's back and rock some combos and, if they counter, to figure out the timing to counter their counter

You can blame the devs for this and it is also a problem online against players. Once someone is on your back, there is one move to get them off and it isn't reliable in the slightest. Revenge counter should work at any time, as it costs meter, but it doesn't. Once someone is on your back, you lose 5 defense moves and have 1 left. The AI generally doesn't get out of this, but on difficulty 20, they do it a lot.

La difficulté du mode histoire est en tout cas totalement absurde, je comprends mieux les critiques...
