Dont buy this

♥♥♥♥♥♥ game. Bots will just read ur inputs on higher levels it is impossible

[Maxhael]

I doubt the bots read inputs on higher levels they probably just have faster reaction times anything the bots dodge is something you could usually dodge if you react fast enough

[Christian Biker for God + Jesus]

yeah trying to get the euro yabai achievement and am noticing this. Still an addicting game but wish the AI had real difficulty instead of this.

Punish missed strikes by dodging or spacing and attack first only if enemy is weak or exposed.

Dunno, i'm pretty good at these types of games. Out of 100 matches against master, I was only able to win once. I usually spend 5 minutes dodging, countering, and mixing up defense and offense. No matter what I do, always blocks. I've dodged behind, I've ducked down and countered. I have ZERO idea how I beat him, seemed like a fluke.

Either way, better to just play on medium difficulty.

speak for yourself shut up and dont buy it go away...

Maybe learn to wait and control space instead of spamming attacks on opponents this is not the game where you can just spam attack and expect to get wins. No you gotta actually learn how to play and master the game if you wanna consistently beat the master rank. So how about instead of blaming the game learn what spacing is and a whiff punish because your not killing a master rank if you don't know what those are. TLDR: git gud

Oh my god the game is teaching me that I'm making mistakes and there is another strategy? Who could have thought?

On Master I get 12 kills to 100 deaths
Just keep getting better, the bot can't punish your mistakes if you make none

Dude i literally bought the game 9 days after i came out and spent most of a entire weekend and a whole week playing, and ive still been playing to this day. Wtf are you on

It is indeed very challenging on high difficulty, but it is still possible to clear the game. This guy recorded a walkthrough for completing it on the European Yabai difficulty and also achieved 31 kills in the survival mode on the same difficulty.

Of course, this level of achievement is not typical for ordinary players; I myself can only manage to clear Hell difficulty with great effort.

I'm gonna be honest...I kinda have to agree with OP. The AI is just SUPER inconsistent with its behavior. I just beat the ninja bosses, and I have no clue what the hell I did different than last time other than, I got lucky.

In fact, that was most of the bosses. I didn't figure out a pattern they had. Nor did I uncover the secrets to their timing or gimmick. I just got lucky. And that is deeply unsatifying. The only boss that felt genuinely great to fight was the Town boss. All others are just straight up gimmick fights that you get have to hope you somehow win.

Me secretly giggling at the back slaying the Survival leaderboards on Hell difficulty after going through 100+ hours of torture.

I should definitely make some guides to this, although the guide from ChesherChestire (if i got the name right, it's the most popular guide) can really help y'all. It's practice and practice y'all

[cShakes]

Imagine telling people not to by the game due to a crippling skill issue

They absolutely do. The only way to kill the bots on the highest difficulty is to get a lucky hit or abuse that walk backwards strat, that almost always leaves your opponent open for a killing blow.

This point here is why I don't really enjoy most of the boss fights in the game. While I think the normal enemies feel satisfying to fight, due to the nature of the game mechanics the bosses feel like "keep attacking until the AI decides to stop blocking." I agree though, the town boss fight is by far the best because you can't just get one lucky swing and automatically win.
