WHY ARE THE SF6 CPUS SO DIFFICULT!?

Justin Wong tests the highest difficulty CPUs across Street Fighter 6's roster following EVO 2022 hands-on time with the game. The AI reads inputs aggressively—Wong notices the CPU predicting button presses rather than reacting to them, a sharp departure from prior fighting game difficulty designs. Multiple character matchups reveal the same pattern: the CPU behaves less like a skilled opponent and more like a system with perfect information. Comments highlight the absurdity—the AI "just reads," always knows what's coming, and punishes with inhuman precision. Wong's lab notes here are less about finding tech and more about documenting how Capcom built the AI challenge curve.
