Street Fighter 6\u2019s AI is so good it destroyed the fighting game GOAT CapcomPlayers trying out the Street Fighter 6 demo found out that its Level 8 CPU was incredibly difficult and nigh impossible to beat. This was the case even for fighting game legend Daigo \u201cThe Beast\u201d Umehara, who got repeatedly destroyed by the AI and was barely able to get a hit in. Although the Street Fighter 6 demo only has two characters to choose from in its versus mode, players around the world are already putting hours in to learn the game\u2019s new set of complex mechanics and need-to-know tech that sets it apart from previous entries in the series. Fighting game legend Daigo \u201cThe Beast\u201d Umehara dived into the demo head-first, immediately setting the CPU to max difficulty and assuming it\u2019d be the best way he could practice. He wasn\u2019t expecting much, which is fair, considering that he\u2019s almost inarguably the greatest Street Fighter player of all time with a career spanning literal decades of competition. However, much to his surprise, the CPU handily beat him. And then beat him again. And again. And again. It took a great deal of effort for Daigo to best Street Fighter 6\u2019s hardest difficulty level, and he praised how good the AI was at reading his moves. Street Fighter 6 AI praised by Daigo after beating him repeatedly Daigo\u2019s been making his mark on the esports scene since before it even existed, making for some of the best moments in competitive gaming history even as far back as the early 2000s. Clips like EVO moment #37 are still talked about almost 20 years later, and he\u2019s been able to stay near the top level of competition longer than pretty much any other pro gamer competing in any current esport. And, with Street Fighter 6 shaping up to be one of the best games in the series, it\u2019s no surprise that Daigo\u2019s hopping in early to hone his skills. However, he finally met his match in the Street Fighter 6 demo: The AI. Daigo got bested by Street Fighter 6\u2019s highest difficulty CPU several times as he jumped into the latest title in the series, proving that it can dominate even the best players. At first, Daigo felt like the bot was cheating with how it reacted to moves. But, as he was able to sneak in the rare hit with some mix-ups of his own, the fighting game legend realized that Street Fighter 6\u2019s AI was really just that good. He then moved into praising the AI and getting visibly frustrated as he lost round after round. It didn\u2019t, at any time, seem like an unbeatable adversary, but one that would take a great deal of time and practice to best. Daigo himself called it \u201charder than Elden Ring\u201d and ultimately couldn\u2019t take more than a round off of his AI opponent. It\u2019s no surprise that CPU level 8 has been an incredible challenge for average players as well, with very few people managing to take a full match off of the AI.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
