RyuBot 1.0
The intention of this bot is to help train your ability to contest the average character in neutral situations, otherwise commonly known as ‘footsies’.
RyuBot focuses on the style of Ryu player that generally fights from close-to-mid ranges and does not depend on their Hadoken or ‘zoning’ skills (the CPU may be a better opponent for this). We focused on building the bot to test the player’s understanding of their own ‘normal attacks’, their close/mid range options that don’t use any meters, but also don’t leave the player easily open to counterattacks. RyuBot will generally fight using similar options. The bot is easy to input, but if you find that you do have difficulty with a particular input, it may be necessary to keep trying, since small changes in rhythm affect performance a lot.
Explaining the concept of ‘footsies’, especially for a bot, is too in-depth to put here, so please check the relevant section at the bottom of the page for more information about how exactly to approach using this bot optimally.
