Programmable AI for cpu's?

I tried searching, so sorry if this already somewhere.

So like the title says, has anyone altered or been able to program the cpu's?

Smash has always had very crappy computers, especially compared to other fighting games. And i always thought it would be interesting if we could make truly difficult computers, or even better would be cpu's with more human like actions.

I remember in Melee with AR they were able to see the different types of behavior modes, so i was just curious.

turn around....
Brawl's AI mimics your and your opponent's actions, they eventually learn to play similar, so you can customize the AI already without hacks.

true, but it would work a lot better if we could alter them directly.
that said, nobody has attempted it yet.

I'd see it as far off if it's even possible; AI isn't something you can just reverse engineer over tea and crumpets. There's nothing indicating any type of separate storage for AI files on the disc, so you'd have to find wherever the AI is stored inside the bigger data files before you could even attempt to alter it, and doing that isn't exactly a walk in the park.

The CPU should DI effectively, that alone would make them pretty good and more fun to play against.

Programming AI is a hard job, this is why SBB hasn't had any decent CPU in any of it's releases. How would be do better exactly? O.o We can't really just tell the game "oh just DI and combo like crazy lol," it doesn't work that way.

I'd like to see it, but it would be pretty hard.
