    What the hell is up with level 3 bots?

    I just faced a level 3 shaman bot, who kept deflecting all my pk zones, lights, and parrying all heavies and softfeints, while doing completely unrradable mixups. Were they always like this?

    Since wulin came out they have been, lvl 3 bots are insane, I understand making them strong so if a teammate leaves, fair enough, but I don't think they should be super human, react to unreactable things and mix.

    I think I received level 2s only until this point, which are obviously very weak, but this is just atrocious. I managed to kill a shinobi bot with my bp since then, but god, the little **** just kept deflecting and parrying everythin with those broken punishes, shieldbashes were obviously dodged instantly without exception, and of course he did use only the viable tactics, no ranged guardbreak or anyting. That shaman bot, however, was something else my first thought was "okay, this is probably there to remind people that spamming does not work for long, even though I can't imagine people parrying a pk zone out of nowhere", but then really, he just deflected all lights, parried all heavies, used the correct punish almost all the time, and I have seen mixups so good that I am seriously concerning watching how a level 3 pk bot fights to pick up a few tricks, and I am rep 49 with her and know everything in and out.

    I remember that before they mainly countered chains-combos you overused as if they were a particularly sharp player, but this is just plain cheating. Nobody reads everything this well and manages to parry so many 400ms delayed attacks and completely neutral zone/left heavy mixups perfectly.

    Level 3 bot for me is a it weird, sometimes they deflect and parry everything and sometimes they eat all my attacks(i am not feinting them), Dev need to fix the bot

    Yeah, they are like "okay, now that I deflected 5 lights and zones in a row, I will eat this full heavy chain to be balanced." They act like this all the time. That shaman bot (her name was ThePope if someone had experiences with her) was, however, were like "oh, you try heavies now? That's cute. Did you know that my heavy parry's optimal punish is my zone? Lots of players don't know it. I do. I do."

    Lvl 1 bot = useless
    Lvl 2 bot = they block almost any lights or other fast mooves but are still useless as they got hit by any UB and their attack are non feinted obvious heavy
    Lvl 3 bot = dont fight them, they deflect/parry everything, they dont fall into most mix up, they cgb. The way to beat them is to ensure they target you while one of your mate just spam heavy on them because the dont know how to external block. Just block their attack and let your friend kill them.
    But if you are Alone then just run away doing something more usefull unless the bot is keeping a zone.. if he is just try to score some guaranteed dmg on parry etc till your friends arrive.

    I just managed to kill the pk bot. It seems she is not aware about the extreme limitations of her capabilities.
