Stop the attack!
Sometimes it's easy to win a fight. Even when the odds are stacked against you. Just exploit an AI glitch! Voila - job done.

Here, Link knows he's so safe, he can just hang around...



And how about Robot Arena 2 where sometimes you don't actually have to fight at all?



When Oblivion was being prepared for release the press releases said: "This groundbreaking AI system gives Oblivion's characters full 24/7 schedules and the ability to make their own choices based on the world around them" That's why this lady is raking... the carpet.

theres this one level in the video game for the movie "the incredibles" and you're playing as violet, the girl that can go invisible, so there are these two guards talking. heres what you do: you go invisible, sneak up behind one unnoticed, then let go of the invisibility button for a split second then go invisible again and run away. the guard will see you behind the other guard and shoot his buddy! you might want to have the unlimited invisibility cheat on, though.

hahaha, most of the metal gear solid ones were actually done using the stealth camouflage, with that camouflage on, they will never see you unless you are on the alert or an enemy bumps into you causing it to turn off. this makes me remember the time i wiped out an entire unit using only fly anargic mushroom in groznyj grad, after you get your stuff back. they are in the same area, they see that guy die from a poisoned mushroom and yet when i throw another one, they still eat it.

The Oblivion "Oblivious AI" one was especially funny as every attack was a "sneak attack"
