i've received bug reports of the Angel overlay not appearing, or the game crashing upon startup with Angel installed. these issues were due to MSI Afterburner conflicting with the overlay, and Windows 11 Smart App Control. unfortunately it seems like i can't fix the issues directly

new version of Angel is out, i fixed lots of the bugs that were reported in the first version. accessing online play should be quicker and more reliable for everyone, especially people with long-distance connections. there's a few new features too! github.com/super-contin...

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

A plot showing the average button press-correlated state changes per minute for each Xrd character, this is supposed to roughly indicate the average APM of each character in the dataset

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

Pangaea @toptwentynotes.bsky.social · 05/04/2026

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

274

Pangaea @toptwentynotes.bsky.social · 05/04/2026

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

174

Pangaea @toptwentynotes.bsky.social · 04/04/2026

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

Pangaea @toptwentynotes.bsky.social · 04/04/2026

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

Pangaea @toptwentynotes.bsky.social · 04/04/2026

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 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!

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.
