According to a new patent published recently, Bandai Namco Entertainment wants its upcoming fighting games such as Tekken 8 to observe how (and when) players are inputting their attacks before recommending them an appropriate timing to make the same attacks efficient and lethal.

The proposed in-game recommendation system of Bandai Namco Entertainment will help players learn whether to slow down or speed up their different attacks.

For example, a player might be countering a specific attack too slow. An in-game notification will inform the player to input the same counter move a little quicker. Hence, boosting muscle memory which normally takes professional players years of training. That and how such a gameplay system for Tekken 8 will allow players to quickly hone their skills to make the Tekken esports scene fairly formidable.

I always found it a bit odd how fighting games do such a poor job at teaching you the rhythm of the inputs you need to do for specific combos or punishes to work correctly. This could be a great and fun teaching system.

But ya know, maybe make the netcode a priority first how about that.

4$ but if you pay an extra 4 you get tekken bowl with no online :)
For real with how harada talked so much about ai during the fgc roundtable Im not suprised if something like this is in tekken 8. It does seems pretty cool tbh

My biggest wish for tekken 8 beside rollback is new animation for the whole. Those tekken 6 animation are really starting to look old and with the new character they've showed they can do some really cool stuff. Also delete leroy lol

So this pretty damn obvious idea locks other fighting game devs out of ever implementing something similar?
Cool, cool...

No it would force them to implement it in a different way. A different machine learning algorithm that accomplishs a similar thing would be fine. If this program was robust enough they might license it out as middleware. Namco and Capcom, and I think a few other jp devs have an agreement to share technology so I wouldn't worry to much about this patent being restrictive to other devs.

Damn thats smart. I wish I had that as a kid. It took so many years before I naturally got that I was doing inputs wayyyyyy too slow lol.

I'm just glad to hear a fighting game make the effort in teaching players. You see so much of the fighting game community focus on players ('Just stick with it!') when fighting games have done next to nothing in evolving their approach to onboarding players.

I wish I had your optimism. That not how they've ever done it in the past.

Cool. I hope it gets implemented well so that new players can play online more. We need excellent roll back net code though

*Reads thread*

Is this the fighting game community toxicity I read about in a previous thread?

Sounds like its aiming to build on the Punishment trainer they implemented in T7. Bet they're trying to get ahead on it since they didnt with the punshment trainer and that is very(completely?) unique in the genre.
