AI Opponent | Goon

Description
An easy-to-beat AI opponent.
You can select its moves to look at its predictions, but ultimately, it locks in its own move and DI.
This is a "pilot" of sorts to test out an exceedingly simple AI-controlled character before working up to a general solution.
The character hasn't got a very diverse moveset to limit "thinking time" - it takes a 1-3 seconds to think as of now, but increased complexity may cause the number to have to rise.
On Easy and Medium, it looks one step ahead - it'll look at the moves you can make (to a limited extent) and respond accordingly.
It's not good at comboing, but it'll try its best!

Get the Mod Options mod to be able to change difficulties - the more difficult, the more time it will spend thinking.

Note on MultiHustle:
While Goon is now compatible, it is slow and resource-taxing, as simulating MultiHustle takes more memory and takes longer. It should work fine with a few bots on Easy or Medium, but don't expect a playable game with lots of Hard Mode. I do have plans to speed it up in the future, but that'll likely be specific to the general AI. This is just the pilot, after all.
If you find any bugs with MultiHustle specific to Goon, please let me know.

Note on Sticky DI Fixer:
Currently, using Goon with Sticky DI Fixer installed crashes the game. When I get the time to work on the General AI again, I'll look into it. As for now, they are simply incompatible.

Short FAQ:
- How do I use the mod?
This is a character named "Goon" that is controlled by an AI. The general AI is under development and coming soon, which you'll be able to use on any character!

- Do I need to turn P2 input off?
No, and I would advise against it. You want to be able to check what options your opponent can use, after all!

- My game isn't responding after I press lock in. Has the game crashed?
No, it just needs a second. Especially on Hard Mode, it can be taxing on your computer's resources.

- What if an AI could be a boss character or do other things?
I'm also planning to make a library to aid creation of specific AIs for bosses or special characters that wouldn't fit a general purpose AI playstyle. Stay tuned!

- The mod's showing up as Null. What do I do?
This is a common issue with mods. Go into settings and Delete Character Cache.

Ok, I've pretty much figured this guy out.
I've been fighting him non-stop on Hard.
He only does 2 counter frequently. It is Grab and Burst. That's pretty much it.

Guaranteed to always happen:
-Will always grab at close range
-if you are in close range during a combo and Burst gauge is full, it will always instantly burst

The Hard option is barely hard at all, it just takes a lot of time for it to decide what to do and I could basically scroll through twitter while he decides what to do. And it still loses.

Improvement to its decision making is my suggestion. And hopefully we could also make it choose a modded character. Randomly or Manually. I'm kinda bored fighting the same guy already.

the stupid grab thing where he grabs, dashes, grabs again, is annoying. other than that, he's cool

Easy to beat my ass, all it does is block and spam grab. No fun, in my opinion at least.

Regarding the problem with the character becoming "null", try checking the integrity of the files in the properties menu, then uninstall and install again, in MY case it worked and it returned to normal.

But I need to say that sometimes I need to uninstall it several times for it to work.

And, as the author said, you can try deleting character cache.

Please, for the love of god, do ANYTHING other than run up and throw. If you're not mid combo you better be inputting throw so you can tech. Otherwise its death by 1000 cuts.

Not a good time honestly.

please add a goddamn cooldown to the throw, it doesnt do anything cool aside from grabbing and throwing you across the stage over and over and over and over again
