what kind of AI is usually best implemented in fighting games ?

Smelly logic!

ANN

ANNs aren''t the key solution to any problem...

If you''d like to have quick results, go with a simple state machine. I have never worked on any fighting game but I doubt the good old street fighter and mortal kombat used anything more evolved than a state machine.

What do you mean, exactly? "Any" problem?

i second the state machine advice... you can also add in a bit of randomness so the enemies don''t always do the exact same thing.

predictor : I think he meant "to all problems"

have a state, and a series of moves, with probibilities of use based on state.

ie fighter is in state 1 therefore
kickper = 10
punchper = 90
...

You can even ''tweak'' the percentages according to the player (verry interesting )

Oops

Yeah I meant *every* problems hehe

Almost every posts I''ve read from Neo88 is like "Use an ANN"...

Anyway Sorry for the confusion

Cheers!
