Does this game have a high difficulty with AI?

Hi. I prefer not to play against actual humans and I'm wondering if the AI (versus computer) is good?

I have played some fighting games versus AI and most of them were awesome!
If the AI is good and there's a story mode, that's a plus too!

The AI isn't going to do long combos, setups, or mixups on you, but it is random enough to feel like you are playing against a wild button masher and will tech most of your grabs. It will feel good enough if you usually avoid other people in fighting games I would guess.

The story mode is a drag in my opinion, even if you enjoy fighting AI. It drags on forever, has a boring story, and the AI never gets challenging in it even on hard mode once you slog your way to that mode. The arcade mode is pretty fun and you can do local battles against AI where you can set the AI to its max challenge level.

Thank you for the reply.
I like PvE and I'm thinking on getting this game on sale (edit: i did not, as of edited date).

I have Xenoverse2 and I loved the PvE but I also like this 2D style which reminds me of a MUGEN approach

ai doesnt do combos they just hit very hard u would want the raid where the AI reads everything u do

The AI is braindead and simply presses buttons at random. No neutral, no combos, no pressure, no oki, no blockstrings, no nothing.
At the higher difficulty settings, their playstyle doesn't improve. They simply start doing ridiculous amounts of damage and build an ungodly amount of meter.

If you're any good you'll figure out how they function and start absolutely steamrolling them. A casual player can get their butt kicked, but it won't feel fair and it won't in any shape or form be an enjoyable experience.

The storymode is a slog to get through. Not just because the AI is hot trash, but also because the pool of characters you'll be fighting is very low (base roster, and not even the entirety of it).

DBFZ is an awesome game, but singleplayer was a complete afterthought. You're better off spending your money on something else.

I have almost 1000 hours, and probably a solid 750 of those were just playing in either training mode or against the AI. The AI isn't the most skilled, but enough to keep you on your toes. This has sort of become my "chill" game where I just beat on the AI for a bit and learn combos and stuff while listening to podcasts. If you like Dragon Ball and fighting games I think it's an easy purchase, even just for single player

even worse, you're fighting an AI that knows what you're doing the moment you press a button.
theres a point where if you don't lose a single round in arcade mode its almost better to play people.

i think i should stay clear of this game, as tempting as it is.
I was researching for a PvE oriented game, which this one lacks of.

Thank you for the informative replies.

edit: wow ty for the steam points! i guess a fanboi got angry because i dont like PvP
