You can still believe you're good if you can pin everything on the computer being a cheating motherfucker. And when you get your gold whatever, you feel good because you beat the computer. You triumphed over its faggy quick claw instant kill bullshit, and that's an accomplishment
Fighting online is a poor substitute because it's fair. It's totally fair and that means it's your own stupid ass fault if you lose. People can actually think, and they tend to not play sub-optimally, which means the game doesn't throw you a bunch of easy wins, you just get crushed.
