AI Opponent | Goon

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.

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.
