ShermieBot v1.0

Difficulty Easy

Focus Jumping Attacks and Evasion

ShermieBot is part of a large group of bots that use the same inputs, under the Codename "Snow Angel". Any other bot with their own version of the preceding sentence, can be used/switched to, after entering this one set of Action Inputs. Those bots have unique point systems, purposes, and settings, so be sure to check other pages for that information. This bot works for Angel, Kula, Yashiro, Shermie, and Chris.

ShermieBot uses Shermie's strong anti-air options to challenge the player to learn their various jumping attack options while still keeping enough focus to use a whiff punish.

ShermieBot works better if your inputs are closer to perfect and does not work well if your bot isn't precise enough with inputs. So make sure your inputs are closer to perfect before using this version of the bot.

Bots in KoF are able to be saved by activating the game's "Autosave" function. However, you can only save 1 bot at a time. Therefore, we have checked all characters using the inputs used to determine which of them can be useful, resulting in the codename "Snow Angel" due to the two most explicitly effective characters. These have been given separate, specific pages, when we consider the result to be good enough to act as a functional bot for that character, but there are a few more where we didn't think that the bot reached that level, but a player could still get some use out of going a few rounds with that character with just these 'Snow Angel' inputs. A full list of characters and related things can be found in the 'In Depth' section at the bottom of this page.

Gauge Settings

As with all bots, 1P Health should be set to "Normal", set 1P Power Gauge to "1"

These settings may change based on your goals, explained in the Difficulty section below.

Settings for 2P are Health - "Auto-Recover" and Power Gauge - "5".

Goals

Completing each action gives 1 point. Try to get to 10 points without dying. Note that if you don't see the word Punish show up on your side of the screen when you perform a punish for points A, B and D you did not perform the punish correctly.

Points System

• A - Land a jumping attack on Shermie with a full combo.
• B - Dash up or roll and then use a crouching low to start a combo that causes a knockdown on the opponent. (If your character does not have a crouching low but has a 'standing low', use that instead.)
• C - Whiff punish her special attacks, particularly by jumping to evade her dashing grab
• D - Whiff punish her standing Heavy Punch

Variants

• To train Meter Awareness, change 1P Power Gauge to '2', points are gained for using the correct punish based on available meter (no points gained for punishes that use no power gauge).

Difficulty Levels

• Easy - Points given for ABCD.
• Medium - Points given for ACD only
• Hard - Points given for BCD only
• Extreme - Points given for B and D only (if you normally play defensively) or C and D only (if you normally play offensively.)

Recording Notes
• Players should note that if you hold buttons or directions before starting input they will instantly occur once you start recording. This makes it easier to get frame 1 (FirstFrame) inputs compared to most other games. Additionally you can use the Options button to end recording just like other games, as well as the 'record' button. Use whichever is easiest for you, but note that we are still investigating if there is some input loss when using the Options button, and if you encounter problems, try using just the 'Record' button to end the recordings.

In-Depth

In addition to acting as the inputs for KulaBot 1.0, AngelBot 1.0, ChrisBot 1.0, YashiroBot 1.0, and ShermieBot 1.0, the 'Snow Angel' bot inputs also function somewhat reasonably with Dinosaur (some slight experience can be gained), Ramon (experience with a limited subset of his abilities can be gained), and Joe Higashi (Most useful for practicing punishes similar to 'Big Fire' (KyoBot) without going to the effort of changing the bot back to that one.
