Project M's learning AI?

[CoeusFreeze]

I have been playing Project M for a long time now, and I have started to notice that the CPUs tend to develop new tactics as I play the game more. It seems to adapt to my strategies and change accordingly. Is this just my imagination, or does PM possess an AI who learns as you fight it, becoming more and more potent over time?

Hello, brother in the faith. Yes, the CPUs in PM do learn as you play them more. False prophets will seek to tell you otherwise, but you must not listen to them. Shun them, for they are heretics.

Brawl's AI programming will reveal no such possible lines of code for adaptation, but it's plainly obvious to those that fought CPUs for a living that the AI does adapt to some extent in both vBrawl and P:M.

Only thing I know for sure is that replays only save inputs for human players, not CPU's. The replay still looks the same, no matter what, because CPU's will always react the same way to any given input pattern, even if you move to a different machine with different save data.
In all honesty it's probably you who's doing the changing, and the AI is just making adjustments in return.

Dantarion has already disproven this myth in a reddit post awhile back. Please educate yourselves friends

The CPUs in none of the games have ever learned, actually. Replays wouldn't work if they could, based on how CPU actions are saved for replays (not as button inputs but as reactions to the player based on preset information the AI has).

Does this mean there zero "random" elements for a CPU?
IE given an exact player position and condition, CPU's will always do one action? If so, I find it odd that I haven't noticed this. I would've assumed there was some random element to CPU action.

Their actions are influenced by a random seed that's stored in the replay file, instead of their actual actions.

CPUs do not learn in Brawl, nor do they learn in Project M.

That is all.
