Cheap Boss Type

""Hah! You're easy!"" The Cheap Boss Type is a perfect example of what happens when you take an overpowered, severely unbalanced, plain cheap fighting style, and combine it all into a single character.

Titled by his creator Pneophen as a "random experiment", he is an AI-controlled fighter using sprites from Tuff E Nuff's Jado who defines what a Cheap Boss is.

Gameplay
CBT cannot be manually controlled due to its AI taking full control of the character. As one would expect with a title such as his, a fight against CBT is anything but fair.

The moment the round starts, he'll immediately assault his opponent with a barrage of attacks, almost always cornering them into one of his combos to deal ludicrous damage. That part wouldn't be so bad if all of his attacks didn't come at you faster than the speed of light AND have extremely fast recoveries. CBT also starts the battle with a full powerbar, already leaving you at a disadvantage right from the get-go and to make matters even worse, almost all of his attacks won't cause your power stocks to rise via damage taken.

Any grappler character that fights him is basically dead on arrival since he is completely immune to throws. "Well, I should be able to kill the bastard if I zone him, right?" Nope. Try that and he'll just tele-drop onto your position from above and lay waste to you, so that strategy is out the window. He's also able to teleport right behind you out of his hitstun to get the drop on you at any time. Speaking of time, CBT has the power to SLOW DOWN TIME ITSELF to beat your ass with ease. His mastery over time is so cheap, he's even managed to freeze the game's timer. At this rate, it would appear that your only option to ending his massacre is to use the debug buttons (F1/F2) to kill him... But no, the debug buttons don't affect him, so if you really want this guy to drop dead, you're going to have to do it the old-fashioned way.

If you actually KO him, don't get too cocky because the first thing he'll do before the next round starts is DECUPLE his Cheapness! In this phase, he now rapidly regenerates his health and power stocks, and gains access to a few brand-spankin' new attacks, only extending your torture...

Well, only if you're actually insane enough to fight him that is.
