Very Hard the game pretty much cheats.

[The Gr8>]

I can't do any moves my moves get canceled out the AI is much faster at doing melees then me. Plus they block some moves that's impossible to block. When I press a melee button my commands get canceled out and PC performs move instead of me. I don't understand if I try to grab I can't never grab and any mix ups just get blocked. Game is impossible to beat.

You need to learn the character you're playing and learn the game from that standpoint, they might be "cancelling" your moves because when you get blocked there is a little recovery delay where they can take advantage. And some moves that you may think are impossible to block just aren't, and you can always break out of a grab if you mash out of it

Ok put it this way I pretty much will not let the AI get up on any other difficulty.

At the end when I very Erron Black he pretty much punches me even when I press punch before him. Also PC does way more damage at Very Hard also once I get up very high on Endless battle they also do way more damage than I do.

If there's anything I've learned about MK A.I. from any MK game, it's that they adapt to your patterns. Constantly mixing up your attack really screws the A.I. up. Combos start low and high for a reason. There's even combos that mix it up so that someone can't just sit there a block in one postition.

Of course, this is just combos I'm talking about. Same holds true for all your abilities and basic moves.

Yea I tried that they pretty much mimic your moves in the newest one because like I said my punches was being canceled out I couldn't even punch him even when I knocked him down.

Dude on Very Hard they pretty much cancel your moves I didn't have no issue until I did this just to test my skills.

http://www.twitch.tv/wapeddell/b/652489473 01:55:00 same thing with Sonya she pretty much just cancels out my moves. Ermac full screen move pretty much gets canceled out every time when I play on Very Hard the Soul Push move w/e it's called. You can see Sonya jump over it. What I don't understand is why I can't grab when I'm right on the character it's like it doesn't even register.

Watch from 02:02:00 to 02:02:12 as Erron is getting up I'm punching and it cancels if you watch eariler in the video I did this several times and AI couldn't block but some how he cancels my moves as he gets up and blocks. Second time it just stops me from punching.

Don't button mash either, AI patterns get worse when you mash, try to be as precise as possible with your strategy.

Explain that then when I'm punching him at 02:02:10 then all of a sudden he's punching me. How does that work? I understand the blocking but that was pretty much canceled out.

If you watch from the beginning which I know you will not because most people are impatient you will see I don't button mash. Ermac is once of the easiest with combos. I pretty much have all of them remembered besides the one on the screen. AI cancels out my move at a specific time as stated above.

The AI doesn't cheat, it just doesn't let you get away with predictability. All of the AI's moves and attacks follow the same rules as your own moves and attacks - there is no hidden numbers tweak that make their abilities come out faster or do more damage. If you are getting punished it's because you are doing something that is punishable :)

You can see I'm in the animation of punching and he's punching me through my punch

MKX CPU in a nutshell:

≤ Medium difficulty -- let's the player win, throws in the odd attack now and then, but can be easily perfect'd.

≥ Hard difficulty -- the CPU attacks with each button press of the player using whatever attack of its own will most likely beat the players' (that is, it's not fighting the player as much as the the player fighting themselves!)

Not all punches are created equal. As an example, if you do an attack that has 10 frames of startup at the same time as I do an attack that has 9 frames of startup, I'll beat your attack every single time without fail.

Just look up above and watch I even have a image of my arm going through Black but it's not registering.

If it makes you feel any better I used to feel the same way back when I first started getting half-decent at fighting games. I understand the frustration, believe me!
