VF #10 (PS2 60fps) VF4: Vs too slow for AI training, let's try Kumite
2I didn't want my AI Lei-Fei to learn side-stepping from other AIs in Virtua Fighter 4 on PS2, so I'd kept him training against me exclusively--I fight without using side-step evades--but that turned out to be really, really slow going. Also, apparently the AIs can't learn certain attacks until they reach certain ranks, and ranking matches only happen against other AIs. So, I would have to bite the bullet and throw my Lei-Fei AI to the AI wolves...
0:46 - VS - my player character Jeffry vs my AI Lei-Fei
25:08 - VS - my player character Sarah vs my AI Lei-Fei -- finally realized this VS training of my AI was going waaaaay to slow, he's still about as dumb as a post : P
32:50 - Kumite - wanted to put my AI Lei-Fei into Kumite, but he's on the port 2 card and Kumite only loads (why??) from the port 1 card : P (Update 1/23/20: If you have a controller plugged in port 2 and use that to select the character, it will load from the port 2 memory card, so, if you've got a second controller, that's probably the easiest way to manage it)
33:44 - quit and went to the PS2 boot menu to copy my AI Lei-Fei file from one mem card to the other; I guess I could just have swapped cards but I was used to them being in certain spots so eh well I didn't; anyway this way I would have the pre-Kumite version still on card 2 in case he learned to use evade moves from AIs in Kumite : PP
34:44 - Kumite - my noob AI Lei-Fei vs mean ol' side-stepping AIs. : o I was giving him positive or negative feedback with the Circle and X buttons at first, but that stuff often seems to get interpreted in ways that backfire--like you do it too late and its considered for the next move instead of for the one you meant, or, with positive feedback, you give a little and then they start doing the move you liked waaaay too much.
52:55 - my AI wins a ranking match and gets his first promotion--9th Kyu!
53:22 - Time jump! I left my AI fighting in Kumite overnight; when I came back, in the morning, he had gone from 9th kyu to 4th dan! (The ranks go eh 10th to 1st kyu, then from 1st dan to oh 10th dan or something like that, plus I think special ones after that, I dunno. : P) And he was just immensely faster, hardly hesitating at all, and generally acting like he knew what he was doing. And he didn't *seem* to be side-stepping... So maybe this was gonna work?
1:10:26 - wins his last match against an AI who tries an evade at the last moment and still gets bopped ; D
