Am i the only person finding AI Sly to be an utter beast? Right now i'm playing through all of the arcade modes, i've done about 10 of them for now all on All Star mode and whenever i come across a level 4 Sly, oh man, i know shiz is about to get real.
He can stay invisible forever because the computer always knows where he is and he constantly teleports around with smoke bombs and uses the decoy, he can literally rob you of a whole AP bar within 5 secs, then theres that level 1 super, it just comes out of nowhere. And thats not even the highest difficulty, in Vs. you can have lvl 5 Sly, i havent tried it but he must be crazy.
On the other end of the scale a level 4 Heihachi is a real joke, he can barely get any kills with his level 1 super, his level 2 super is awesome, but the AI tends to stick to level ones.
I havent played much online so i dont know how Sly handles from other players, but when i was against level 4 Drake on his arcade mode, all i did was spam decoy which put you behind your enemy and paralyses him, then go invisible and double square to steal his AP... It was pretty ridiculous.

I tried drakes story on allstar mode, n the rival battle was just atrocious, I got wrecked.
At first he just kept knocking be around like a rag doll stealing all of my AP, but then i learned that he doesnt quite get what to do against Drakes air down circle (the falling floor one, i'm pretty sure its air down circle) so i just keep spamming that and building AP. I honestly dont see how i could have done it without spamming that.

I've known this from day 1, considering the first thing I tried to do when I got the game was play through all the arcade's on all Star. I assumed from the released walkthroughs that All Star would be beyond easy. I was terribly wrong when I made it to the rival fights. Some just proved completely impossible. Nariko's rival fight with Dante became so hard for me that I resorted to just rolling and spamming grab on Dante whenever his AP got high. But Sly.... he is a monster. The AI Sly on level 4 is the reason why I can't beat Drake's Arcade on AS or progress any further in FP's Arcade. He is so overlooked when it comes to who the best characters are. I've played about 5 matches using Sly and I've gotten crazy scores in each one. All you need to do with Sly to do good is just spam that invisiblity teleport thing, the electric roll, and go invisible for nearly half the match. And that is pretty much all the level 4 AI Sly does. Its just stupid. I'm not saying Sly is OP, just that there are many many strategies with him that can be abused.. Nobody really notices because they are too focused on Kratos and Raiden.
