You can go even further beyond with this Max. You can set the CPU level 8 to also have 5 stars of Handicap, giving it health regen, three times damage, less damage taken, and infinite meter. You can turn this into an SNK Boss and farm out a Boss Rage. *Edit:* Bonus Boss, fighting Luke like stated above too.

That actually sounds like the best description. The AI knows exactly what it can do with it's resources, exactly how far it's attacks extend, has perfect frame data memory. No human is quite that precise, but veteran players, especially with time, approach that level of muscle memory knowledge and decision making speed.

[@Nickolai117]

It's so cool to see a fighting game cpu actually doing cool and optimal combos and crazy conversions. So many games have just made their hard cpu's by making them just have more health and more damage, which just doesn't feel very fun. This makes it feel closer to the experience of an actual match, (despite some input reading), and makes it more fun to try new things against a dummy opponent who will actually punish you and show you the best combos

[@Urd-Vidan]

It also shimmies out of hits and grabs

[@stoiccrane4259]

@@Urd-Vidan Wouldn't be fun if it weren't a little cheap. That little element of cheapness is enough to spur players to keep at it and keep growing. Can actually come to appreciate the cheapness after optimizing your own playstyle to a certain degree because you can more readily see what's physically possible and what's just absurd.

[@realchezboi]

@@Urd-Vidan Dude the way the AI alternates between shimmy, throw loops and MEATIES oh my god i cannot guess, the best case scenario is throw tech 😭

[@dylanh8163]

@@Urd-Vidan stuff like that is kind of fun to play against. Playing high level CPU’s is gonna be different than players so some of the cheap stuff is different but it certainly teaches you what options you have that are actually good punishes, safe, or what have you. The shimmy is annoying but until we get really customizable difficulty in AI options we have to live with it (personally I’d love sliders for like, combo optimization and conversion rates, input reading/reaction times (it would be so cool if you could make your training AI consistently have a reaction speed so you can practice untrue but unreactable options), etc)

[@snuffysam]

I’m curious - what game has the most difficult CPU, of the ones that don’t give stat boosts (I.e. equal playing field besides input reading). This definitely seems up there. Smash bros Kazuya is up there too…

You’re just casually sparing and learning from him and then you drop your guard, ready to take a break, (AN OPENING!!) and Ryu just unintentionally wreaks your life practically on auto pilot. He now has that Kiryu effect. He’s one of the more serious characters in the franchise but because of his voice and mannerisms, he comes off like a complete goofball and I love it.

[@Jkidd752]

There are no dumb reasons, my friend. You may love a fighting game character for whatever reason the same way we all look for strength for our own reasons. Nothing is ridiculous and everything is about your enjoyment whatever gets people into fighting games wins you’re looking at a guy who purchased tekken 7 just because of Miguel’s personality and finishing move

[@CompressionPolice]

From a programming perspective, it seems like the AI is finally utilizing frame data in real time instead of just using pre-determined decision trees. It is nice to see the CPU walking around instead of just standing and countering. Throw some AI training and flaws into the gameplay and it could be revolutionary.

[@Flashback_Jack]

Part of me wonders if some AI model based on an analysis of millions of matches was created for this Level 8 CPU. It's just way too intelligent in a way that seemingly has never been done before.

[@LB_SPONGEBOB]

This CPU could probably win a Tournament by its self 😂

[@4everSolidSnake]

Dude, with how AI is creating art, book reports and such, I wouldn't be surprised now haha

[@TwoTwig]

@@4everSolidSnake With how AI is "stealing" art, there I fixed it for you. It can't create anything without taking pieces of other peoples art (without their consent)

[@Mwright4444]

​@@TwoTwig No, Some models don't use rando art from the internet, though, most major ones do. It still isn't stealing, using rando art to train an AI model, (art you made publicly available mind you, art that someone could use to learn to make art in your style themselves, but I suppose that's not stealing to you.) would not be theft of any kind. Art is used to show the AI how people create art, so then it can also create art, art is art, and I wouldn't discredit someone who used my art to make something in a similar style by saying they stole my work, that's just childish. I DO think human art will always be superior, no doubt about it. I honestly think if a human being didn't create it, it lacks impact, and I cannot think of the things they may have felt while creating the piece. That doesn't mean it isn't a piece of art, it's simply an inferior one.

[@TwoTwig]

@@Mwright4444The point is that ALL of these programs need someone else's art, AI can't create anything in a vacuum by itself without first scanning thousands of other artworks. If they were only using sample pieces specifically meant for AI it wouldn't be as much of an issue but the problem is that so many people use artwork from artists against their consent (i.e. THEFT) for the purpose of replicating their styles. And your analogy is disingenuous, looking at another piece of publicly available art and drawing from it is called inspiration, as the creative process still has to come from you (even if you draw it exactly the same again, which in and of itself requires skill, it will never be a direct copy, ) There's no thought process, emotion, or inspiration when it comes to AI: You just type in words and wait for it to spit out a machine generated image that you didn't create, and that will never be art.

[@mateusineo8755]

Of course it could, it is literally cheating and reading inputs 🤡

[@protodevilin]

"You can't fight humans afraid." This was big for me back in the SFIV days. I mostly played against CPUs until that point, so my usual approach to fighting against human players was to sit back and try to whiff-punish everything. Watching players like Max just dash in and take the initiative is what taught me a much better balance of offensive/defensive play. Playing against really good humans in local tourneys for SFIV and MVC3 helped me even more.

These type of AI are the best for anyone to understand a character and what they can/can't do, and the best part is when you want to learn a match-up, have 2 AIs duke it out and you get the chance to analyze the fight and what they respect and what they punish!

If you’ve ever watched the movie Upgrade, it has an AI that takes control of a human body and does alotta action stuff, so you watch a person do this optimized efficient crazy fast fighting that’s technically possible if a human could process the information fast enough.

That's such a great movie that somehow went unnoticed (probably lack of marketing). It also released almost at the same time as Venom, which basically does the same thing (except that it's an alien).

The editing in this video is great! Brunty did a great job, hope to see more stuff edited like this in the future! Also, when Ryu dies, I know he says Well Fought... but it 100% sounds like WELL FUUUUUUUUUUCK

If we could pit Level 8 CPUs against each other, I'm sure many people would die to watch it so that they can see and learn the optimized stuff they're doing and apply it for themselves!

[@kuahee4334]

I think that's actually something we can do!

[@sauceinmyface9302]

Brian_F already has a video of that of luke vs ryu.

[@Urd-Vidan]

There's some Luke vs Ryu CPU. Luke wins most of the time and has a pretty good lead too

[@dark_nightwing_xl2797]

Damn 😂

[@slimballs9650]

@@kuahee4334 It’d be really funny if they just run a tournament of Level 8 CPUs.

[@songoku9348]

Ryu is sooooo much better in 6 than his V incarnation. Had fun playing as him in the demo.

[@jblue88hoodgamer54]

I 💯 agree with you.

Max's expression in the thumbnail is gold! Nice fun video man!

You can learn some TRICKS FROM THIS GUY, DAMN!

[@joedouglas6968]

This feels like a mini boss rage 😄

[@DetoxArcade]

Brunty you are goated for this edit by the way. This is amazing work

[@omarcontreras-cruz7501]

That post-credits bit with Steeb got me. Funnily enough, he also beat the CPU with some good ol' cheese strats

[@Ethonra]

Said it once, I'll say it again... The Lv8 CPU Ryu demonstrates just how powerful Ryu can be when he puts on footwear. He's been limiting himself for decades! Also, nice meme edits this video. Forst time I have seen that from Max. Also also, I like how in Ryu's victory animation, he initially looks like he's calming down by tensing up then exhaling, but not even a second later, he just looks pissed off again for the rest of it. I dunno. It amuses me.

[@lewdjiggle2011]

You mean "CpRyu".

[@strangestclouds]

Shoutouts to the editor, I know what song you were using for the focus edits, that shits sick fr. ❤❤❤

[@Wrekkshoppe]

When the CPU utterly demolishes even DAIGO, you know there's some input reading going on. Good luck, Max😂

[@Deivil007]

i hope they create cpu level 9 cheese proof someday xD
