Smash the Record saw a Melee-playing AI taking on the pros

Be warned, Skynet now has its sights set on competitive gaming. Artificial intelligence has had strong results playing people in chess, Go, and even StarCraft 2. There have also been instances of learning bots in Street Fighter IV and Street Fighter V. Now we’re seeing its effects in Super Smash Bros. Melee.

At Smash the Record, Smashbot took on many top players, including Team Liquid’s Chudat and Chillindude. The results were staggering, as the AI pulled off frame perfect infinites, high level spikes, and three and four stocked its way through the competition, leaving some visually frustrated. While it only works on Final Destination at the moment, be scared if you see Smashbot in your tournament bracket.
