AC: How Do You Train?

[adiyel]

you can do some training against the AI. in the same way that a wrestler uses different training machines/exercises to train certain areas while he's not competing.

use different AI's to train different aspects. for instance:

- use Sight Hawk to train against aerial opponents (matter of fact, i saw some PACT matches where the grand finals was between a mid i think and a light that did the same DFA tactic as Crow, but without the OB)

- someone like the PLOW reverse joint TR to practice maintaining good defensive mobility and AA lockbox control (which is not easy, trust me)

basically what i'm saying, is use AI's with exceptionally different styles to train different areas of your game. and use the exact same AC setup each time. also, i think the AI that fights most human-like (with the exception of not juking anything but missiles) is Bolt. this is the only person i see as a regular sparring partner.

remember: fighting against a wide variety of tough AI's is still better than fighting the same human that uses the same tactics over and over - you'll just get accustomed to fighting that style, and when someone else different comes along, you'll fail so hard it won't even be funny.
