I’m not so easily inclined to believe that the AI has an advantage myself, but without a doubt I experience this far too often. Though I would say it happens most often in the (faux) PvP mode and the Arena Minigame

Please do something about the atrocious cascades that occur in favor of the ai on Playstation and Xbox. I have been playing on console and pc/mobile for well over a year now. I am around level 1100 on pc/mobile, and close to level 200 on both PlayStation 4 and Xbox one. The game is absolutely infuriating on console.

Ranked PvP is flat (no advantage given to either side). Other modes have “Combo Breaker ON” benefiting the player, this gives an advantage to the player making the game easier by limiting the natural combos for the AI.

In theory, practice and theory are the same. In practice, they are not.
