The replays are just instructions for AI to essentially act out a match, right? If so, that doesn't prove whether CPUs learn or not.
Which is what I said in my post, and everybody said I was wrong.
I think it works differently, just like Pacman, it runs on algorithmic patterns, it's not easy to say that it just scripts itself like that
But if a replay is simply a "rematch" inputing registered commands, then that would be the case, otherwise, a replay wouldn't be the "same" each time.
I dont know how replays exactly work, but i thought they just save the input information of a match. So it saves the input of the player and the simulated input of the cpu, which was driven by the KI. In a replay they dont need to use the KI, because it does not need it, it just follow the input information of the replay file. So in the end its makes no different on which console it will be played and what KI Information is saved.
If that's true, that's a really lazy way to do it :/
The game uses a random number generator for various tasks, like luigi's side B, peaches fsmash, g&w hammer, and the AI, etc. The game seeds the random number generator with a random value, and saves this value in the replay. That way, when the replay is played back, the random number generator spits out the same string of numbers, and all random events take place they way they would in an actual match.
Its the best way to do it, it requires absolutely no space or effort, replay editing would be so harddddd to implement in Brawl.
cause my falcon NEVER does 5 falcon punches in a row... would it just be a coincidence that this person's falcon CPU was programmed differently? is it just a coincidence that my CPU ROB in my disk uses side B way more frequently than in my friend's? does that mean that each brawl disk was programmed differently? it just doesn't make sense...
My CPU's crouch taunt when I'm alive. And I'm not talking about "crouch, stand up, crouch, stand up," I'm talking about the exaggerated machine gun crouching that only a human would do. I've also had experiences like this:
The point is that if somebody repeatedly does the same technique, the next day, the CPU performs that technique several times, and continues to use it on more occasions. However, the CPU had never been seen doing this prior to the human performing that same action.
That would require somebody to actually spam his down taunt in many different Brawls, but it seems perfectly possible.
Really? I've not seen that.
Probably because their programmed to use an aerial attack when they get near someone in the air, even if they are in the middle of another animation they will try. (If you make it so there's little to no cooldown on a character's moveset you'll see the character use it like 2-4 times even though normally it would only be a single move).
Can you explain to me why replay data is a relevant counterpoint to the fact that CPUs adapt to specific playstyles? I would think it pretty obvious that replays wouldn't contain any learning information as they should simply be replaying what is was the CPUs did before instead of playing an AI in real time.
You don't understand. The AI is running the normal script, there's no recorded moves, etc. that the CPU does, it simply runs the script as if it was a live game; Only your character and item spawns, etc. stay the same so it looks exactly the same.
