[minor spoilers] Vanitas has a bad AI

[UnrelentingLight]

By now most of you have probably seen the videos of Vanitas Sentiment's stupid AI. I experienced something similar with Ven's first Vanitas battle. Vanitas just sat behind a rock for an extended period of time doing nothing. I made a short of video of it for those of you who are interested. I was playing on LV1 CM btw.

LMAO. He sure shut you up towards the end of the video

AI?

I was just waiting for vanitas to pop out of the rock and kill Ventus but that ending was just fine

lol, I couldn't dodge roll since I was holding the camera with one hand so he got me

There's actually a better rock to have him stuck behind. From the position you start at, at roughly 10 on a clock face from that position, there's a large rock with a slight indent on both sides. Trapping him behind that is pretty good for the Strike Raid glitch, aside from the fact he occasionally runs around it, which you can counter by running the opposite direction, anyway.

Lol..i thought its only happen in Vanitas Sentiment battle ..xD

It is too happened to me during VS's battle with Aqua. He couldn't see Aqua as she is behind the rock and just keep running around without attacking.

That is pretty dodgy but I don't think it affects much. You can't hurt him from that spot either and the moment you move to get him he can strike back. Just makes for an amusing standstill for me.

Fascinating to find out though. I mean, does Vanitas Sentiment not have a <if block is in way move to side> sort of code? The way the enemy moves around the battlefield seems like a basic thing to me. Eh, just a minor overlook and as I said above it has no major exploitable repercussions.

You can hurt him, though. As I stated above, Strike Raid can hit provided you're locked onto Vanitas/Vanitas Lingering Spirit. Aside from that, though, there are no other ways (that I know of) to hit either of them. And they do actually try to move around the rock if you break their sequence, i.e. through hitting them with Strike Raid, otherwise I would think they'd contantly be running in a straight line for the player.

 

[UnrelentingLight]

I know there is a better rock to get him stuck by but I was not trying to do so. I was just playing and it happened. Also this was regular Vanitas, not Vanitas Sentiment.

 

[Unabomber]

Well. lulz aside, i'm sure you'll have a better time with Vanitas's Lingering Spirit's "A.I."

And good luck with the Mysterious Figure too. lolololol

Ya know sometimes I think the programers know about this little glitches but don't fix them cause honestly they find it just as amusing as we do XD

 

[Zephyr]

Oh lol. Apparently it happens on both Vanitas and Vanitas Remnant.

 

[Sephiroth0812]

Well...for some reasons Vanitas seems to hate big rocks and can't bring himself to go around them...lol

 

[destiny seeker]

He does do that. However for Vanitas LS he seems to learn to go around the rock. However he never goes around the rock in the JP.

 

[Ruran]

Well the problem is obviouse. It's not the A.I. that's just how pwntastic Terra is.

If I knew I could've done this to Vanitas I would've tried when I played Ven, I then I would be all like:s1seafoodsoup.

I'll have too try it with VS.

I have taken down the Mysterious Figure. Did he have AI problems as well? I've seen videos of Vanitas Sentiment's AI problems, too lazy to go play with them.

 

[Crystal]

^ If MF having AI problems , it will be good xDD
Lol..same happen on VS but i didn't face this problem during Vanitas' battle xDD

 

[JULIO VP]

RELENTLESS BASTARD!!!
