I was playing Tekken 6 the other day, trying to beat nancy with my friend so that i could get the trophy for beating it. To get to nancy, you have to beat 6 stages of arcade to get to fight it as a bonus round, which does not affect your progression through the mode whether you win or lose. Nancy is part of the code name for a haxpwn massive robot boss btw.
so i was playing with my friend and dying to nance everytime. since nancy is a bonus stage, when we lose, we go back to the arcade mode, meaning we can't press continue and fight it again. so each time we failed, we had to start over from stage 1 in order to get the bonus round.
here's where it got weird. after playing for hours, there was this particular run where we got to stage 3, and then we got ourselves destroyed by the cpu. no matter what we did, we couldnt beat it. it was also obviously harder to kill than the bosses at the end of the arcade mode, including nancy. it became so imba that it wasnt even funny. so we gave up and started over, thinking it was just the cpu using that particular chacter causes it to be rigged.
we started at stage 1 again, this time, the usually dopey stage 1 warm up guy has now become haxpwn like the guy from stage 3. it was too hard to beat, so we restarted again. this time we beat the guy after a few tries, and then proceeded to get creamed at stage 2 >_>
we tried to restart a couple more times, but the cpu was just as rigged. we came to the conclusion that the devs have hacked my ps3 and are playing as the cpu just to troll us, so we gave up for the day.
next day i tried, it was still rigged, but i seemed to have gained skills overnight, and was able to beat the first two stages after a few tries, but the cpu on stage 3 was just too ridiculous. i restarted a few more times and the results were the same, i could only get to stage 3.
i gave up and went back to do the same. the results were once again just as sad. then i went to check the options and looked at the difficulty setting. i was like "O_o WTF how did this happen?" what i saw was that the difficulty was on ultra hard. so i put it on easy, and then went back to try again. after that, the difficulty felt like it was back to the way it was.
to give you an idea of how big the difficulty gap was, here's the list of them: easy, medium, hard, very hard, ultra hard. at stage 1 on easy, the cpu would stand around for a few seconds before attacking a couple times. usually they would miss if you were crouching because they couldnt tell you were low. on ultra hard, no matter what you make your character do, that same button input would instantly make the cpu do the corresponding countermeasure. so if you pushed down kick, the cpu would use down block against it so fast that you'd think you were controlling the cpu while your character would now have even moved. the cpu's attacks consist of mostly 10+ hit combos that end in an unblockable move... it was truly rigged beyond being beatable. it must have been a miracle that i was able to beat the first two stages at all.
the final conclusion that i came to was that the devs hacked their way into my ps3 and cranked up the difficulty in the middle of my playthrough and set it to max just to toll me.
now im too sleepy to know what i am typing after ranting on for so long about nothing
