1CCBBH - 568. Power Instinct 2 (Angela, 1 Credit Clear)

One of the most absolutely ruthless fighting game CPU's I've ever seen. I was amazed at how ridiculous the CPU cheats in this - you're almost never allowed to do special moves because the CPU will read your input and just counter it instantly. This led to a lot of just double jumping around with Angela and hoping to land jumping and standing Heavy Kicks, because they at least do a lot of damage when they hit. Even when you get in on the opponent, a lot of times they just abuse the invincible backdash to create space. I also find it hilarious that unlike the first game, they don't make the first stage any easier to let players get their bearings straight. There is no difficulty curve, this game is out to murder you from stage 1. And to top it all off, there's 14 stages! Not the longest single-player fighting game but with how rough a lot of these stages are, it feels like a goddamn marathon.
