    Well there's one thing I'll give the devs about the AI. They don't hide anything about them cheating. Oddly enough without them being able to freeze lock, and getting rid of that knock around mechanic they'd be alright. Granted Spectre pulled some slick shit on Moscow turning around that quick, and IDK what Axel was on in Hong Kong. He's pulled something like that on me in that exact spot, but somehow he pulled some question mark turn at turbo speed to dodge a homing missile (which I don't they're aware of anyway).
    Something very unique about the AI system in this game that's so consistent, random and batshit insane at the same time. Sometimes I think they're sentient but play stupid and are forced to follow their pathing or they'd just bust through the TV screen.
    Paris run was fire. That long range setup with Warthog was perfect.
    Holland is weird with Grasshopper because they seem slightly more docile when you play as her, but that's really just lucky RNG because right before the map starts you know you might die within 30sec after starting. Holland is the precursor to some of the custom maps made for DOOM, and I'm very guilty of making maps that outright kill you if you don't start moving immediately.

      Yeah it seems every one of these runs I post they found new and interesting ways to give me the business. Spectre is garbage on Moscow. When you don’t see him on that select screen it’s a cause for applause. You see this is why I abhor Hong Kong. EVERYTIME I play this damn level some crazy shenanigans overrides my game and causes me mental anguish. That’s not the first time Axels pulled something like that on me on that map. These AI definitely have higher functions enabled they just need to be sedated at times in the coding, or this would literally be impossible to play.
      Paris is my favorite stage and it’s usually one of my better stages for these runs along with Holland. That was fun nuking him. The one and only draw this character has is doing that with remotes. Also happy they all bunched up in the middle allowing me to give them a napalm bath.
      I’ve noticed Holland along with some of these other maps like Antarctica are like that depending on the character you’re playing. It affects the AI differently and sometimes they’ll all just be off doing their own thing and waiting for you to approach before they react.
      I don’t blame you for implementing that stuff. Gotta continue the cycle of dev abuse. What has been done unto me will now be done unto you lol.

    That's why i love Outlaw at 4:11-- the ability to counter with her soecial is top teir. Its equally offensive as it is defensive.! Also you can use it as a grapple in some sorts hindering the AI from ( although infrequent ) from getting health or weapons ... 🤙🏾

      Yeah the ability of it to send your opponent flopping around like a fish is crazy. Makes her easily one of the most infuriating AI to deal with especially when you’re speedrunning since all she’ll do is run away till she’s the last alive. Definitely one of the most versatile specials in the game.

      @@lordlythis1407 That’s what I’m saying. Kinda chunky hurtbox for a small car too. The fact she can get rammed to death for using that special too is just nuts. Honestly the most painful car I’ve run with across my time on Twisted Metal.

      @@lordlythis1407 Oooohhh yeah. Old roller skates for wheels is an absolute joy to handle 🛼. And then his special is literally just Axel ramming but with a 60 second cooldown. Horrific downgrade from 1 he was.
      Yeah the only other game where ramming was respectable past 2 was 2012. Hell you could argue it was even more egregious in some aspects there since you could 1 shot smaller cars with the controller super turbo ram.

    I can tell you got fed the hell up. I'll see what I can do with her in the future.
    I would've made her more slower and weighty with a few more HP because there's simply too much holding her back from what she could be at least in Single Player. From what I've seen she's alright in multiplayer, but that was also a Russian 2v2 MOD so...

      Oh you have no idea how right you are lol. Honestly she’s the only lightweight character that legit has no gimmick that makes her worth using. Spectre has that crazy zoning, Grimm has small hurtbox and big special damage with pushback, and Twister is fast and furious with that special. Ms Hops a lot literally has a special that gets stuffed more often than it lands, along with a big hurtbox for a small car and crusty handling.
      A good buff for her would be a 50% damage reduction during her special and to make it so she can’t be knocked out of it by anything but freeze missiles.
