Why Farah is better than Regal.

And using Mirage to avoid is just genius.

You realise that's what Mirage was intended for right?

Where's yousourakubakushuu?!? That sole reason alone made her better than Regal. Regal's Air->Ground were all pomegranate. Sankamoushuukyaku is pomegranate comparatively, I don't know why he uses it instead.

They must have changed some of the fighter mechanics, or this guy has terrible control, because he keeps using garyuu kuuha -> hienrentenkyaku

And yes, the opponent AI appears to be retarded. Not enough good solo battles in Tales. Hardest I've ever had was Veigue in Graces, and that was because of the massive amount of damage he does. He still doesn't do too many high combos, four hits at most (though six hits would instantly kill me at the level I tried, maybe even four depending on the attack he uses)
