created a hitbox viewer mod for Arcana Heart

Xrd model now uses RL, this isn't a finished training run, and no online RL has been applied yet as i'm still working on the mod setup for that, but i'm very happy with the progress! here's the model playing against itself, i think it's a massive step up from the last footage i posted

working on figuring out the meter gain values for each character, i've created a table of each characters values, most of them are fairly obvious, just meter added and scaled by tension pulse somehow, but i can't figure out what "Guard Balance Tension" is supposed to be. any ideas?

switched to training on whole rounds instead of small context windows, i'm pretty shocked by how big the improvement is compared to what i had before. this also enables performance optimizations which make it way easier to run larger models in realtime. here's a Johnny vs Faust round as an example

trying to figure out how to measure the average APM of each character in the Xrd dataset. here i'm searching for changes in the player state that coincide with a button press. honestly not sure what's going on with zato

still only at ~30 replay folders. if anyone has time to send some over i would greatly appreciate it!

if anyone has more Xrd replay data folders they're able to send over, i would appreciate it, going to try and continue work on the data science stuff i'm doing, but i want to get the most representative sample of Xrd play that i can

the input prediction model takes the state that characters are in as input. these are placed in a vector space, starting out in random positions, but are slowly positioned so that states that are "related" end up closer together. here's a visualization of the random placement vs the sorted result

new BBScript version, this adds support for the latest Guilty Gear Strive update. it also stabilizes some changes kkots made, which fix formatting for scripts where ArcSys devs didn't close scopes correctly, as well as adding much more Xrd info github.com/super-contin...

something went very wrong this time

new model, this time it's trained to predict further ahead in the future, hoping that if i tweak this right it will learn to plan ahead better and maybe execute real combos, there's already some improvement to sols short strings but it doesn't seem to be enough yet

early version of a new model, seems to be a bit better at short combo strings but still cant do much more than that, also still has some pretty silly decision making in neutral. its starting to feel less like a bot and more like a very weird human player which is cool though

alright, now that the button issue is fixed, here's a newer model, both players are bots. it's currently quite random but i'm trying to improve that

after trying to debug the 5D spam assuming it was an issue with the model itself, i've realized it's because i forgot to change the Xrd controller binds back to the default after playing a bit, meaning the program automating the inputs was pressing the incorrect buttons the whole time

been working on player input prediction using the replay dataset. both players here are bots. still a rough result, but i've made a lot of progress since starting

if you would like to help build this dataset, i would greatly appreciate anyone sending me more replay folders, especially the ones for any character with <100 appearances! just compress the "REPLAY" folder inside the "SAVE" folder in your Xrd install and send it over

been working on more ways to visualize the xrd replay dataset. here is a density plot illustrating the distance between the character and the opponent when the character uses a grounded normal attack

trying to come up with more ways to plot the data i have, here's one match with x/y over time, creates a cool little structure, nothing too surprising here though, i think i should focus on resources and state-related stuff next

had a silly dataviz idea, here is a video displaying the positions of every character in every Xrd replay i've recorded data for so far.

been spending time chipping away at a fighting game framework. currently have motion inputs and states worked out, they are very flexible and take after the concepts i've learned modding arcsys games. no test footage worth sharing yet, but i find the example code satisfying

i'm now up to 10 replay folders total, assuming all are full (Xrd has a 100 replay limit) and use best 2 of 3, that gets me around 2300 rounds of data! i'm always open to more, but this seems like a good start for some testing. thank you to all who submitted their folders!

hi, here's what i've been working on as lead programmer/lead technical artist. the team and i are super proud of it, would appreciate you all checking it out

Here's A Look at the first trailer for Saturday AM: Battle Manga! We at Son Studios and the talented folks, @saturdayam.bsky.social are proud to give you guys a sneak peek at our 2v2 Tag Fighter! #indiefgc #fgc #gamedev #fightinggame #SABM

i'm looking to get as much Xrd replay data as i possibly can. would anyone be willing to send over their folders? i have a mod that can automatically play back the replays and save information about them , so all i need is an archive of the REPLAY folder in the path `Guilty Gear Xrd/SAVE/REPLAY`

Xrd Replay Takeover and Save States v0.2 (link in reply) - Fully integrated into in-game UI/menu/controls - Fast forward and rewind, no longer restricted to the most recent 500 frames like in previous versions. - Fixes for many common crashes

New Xrd mod addition by kkots, you can now dump hitboxes through my mod, modify them, and load them the same way you would script files.

A random thing I found interesting is that every pause menu in Xrd is the same menu. There's a big table that indicates which buttons/sub-menus should be enabled in each game mode. You can edit this table to see them all which reveals some unlocalised and empty menus presumably from development.

Still much to be done before it's ready to use but here's the repo if you're interested in taking a look github.com/ibrow19/GGXr...
