I've been mostly sticking to ai matches due to online issues, but I've just about had enough of the ai. On the normal difficulty, the game is way too easy, the AI falls for the same combos over and over again, and they never seem to block on wakeup.
Once you jump up to the hard difficulty though, the AI doesn't get any smarter, it just outright reads all your controller inputs. This is especially bad if you get caught in a corner, since unless the character you're up against has fairly slow moves, and you have very fast ones, it will just keep you trapped there until you armour your way out. They know exactly when you get up off the ground, and what state you are in when you do. It really makes me wish wakeup attacks had some invincibility like they used to.
I haven't tried the Very Hard Difficulty yet, but I'm finding this more annoyingly difficult than MK9 ever was. There it didn't feel like the AI could see into the future. Sure, have your ai do huge superhuman combos, but outright reading controller inputs is just annoying when the AI is too easy otherwise.
