Are you playing video games? Maybe AI could be the key to your ultimate goodness, or it could put you out of a job. As a fighting game player, you’re probably used to the last dread – so you’re probably excited to hear about a concept AI program that can analyze your Street Fighter matches.
This is via a small video from Twitter user JP, a UX product designer from Greater Vancouver, recently posted some concepts online, all about fighting games. Their concept is an AI-assisted program that goes through your YouTube matches, picks out your moments of excellence, and points out problems with your poor flowchart Ken.
There has long been a debate surrounding the training systems that exist in games like Street Fighter, and the path to improvement may be murky, mostly an online trial-and-error effort. In the long run, this grind is largely a big draw of the game, an accepted norm. However, by using AI, maybe you can determine how to improve your game in the near future.
The concept apparently came at a time when the integration of artificial intelligence into games was a hot trend. Some see it as a fad, like NFTs, blockchains, and Web3. Others, including some of GDC’s industry heavyweights, believe it will revolutionize the industry and the world moving forward.
In theory, such software could be a major hit to the small industry of pro gamers offering training sessions; a long-term way to earn extra cash. Especially unless you’re one of the best gamers in the world, the pay is often low, and it ranks alongside content creation on Twitch and YouTube as a core source of funding. who knows? Maybe it might not be as popular in the near future?
But, for now, it’s too early. As of right now, JP is still looking for people to try and make the concept work. Be aware that you may see the AI crawl more often. Bring on the end of the world!
