Dan Salvato here, 20XXTE developer and Melee modder of 5 years. Releasing the final version of 20XXTE soon. AMA about Smash or life

Twitter: dansalvato


Hi everyone, I'm back for one last AMA to wrap things up. I recently announced 20XXTE v.2c (video) and that it would be the final version of 20XXTE. With lots of features and no more major bugs, I believe TE has finally reached a point where I'm comfortable calling it complete. I've wanted for a while now to move on from Smash to focus on more original content. So after I finish v.2c and PAL, I'll be done.

I'll still be around to partner with tournaments and share my Melee knowledge with the modding community. But at this point, there are already many other amazing people who have made things happen that I never thought were possible. I believe that eventually, modding will become a cornerstone of competitive Melee, allowing tournaments to collect match statistics and bring us ever closer to the level of professionalism we see in top esports.

Please ask me anything about modding, software/game development, the Smash scene, or life in general. If you're interested in keeping up with my upcoming projects, please follow me on Twitter. Thanks, and I hope to continue my friendship with Smash for a long time to come.

2GGC: Midwest Mayhem Saga - Feedback Thread

Posted: 12 Feb 2017 05:41 PM PST

Similar to our last 2GGC of this year, I'm back in hopes of gaining what went right and what didn't in the eyes of the twitch audience.

Some things were very obvious such as the awkwardness of the interviews and introductions. Or the crowd mic not being apparent. But I'd like to hear from the viewers in hopes of fixing these issues moving forward.

Let's talk Melee analytics.

Posted: 12 Feb 2017 12:42 PM PST

Hi. I am currently developing a pipeline/methodology by which to extract a whole lot of game data from Melee VODs. It's moving rather slowly, but there is progress being made. I swear.

Specifically, here are the subtasks I am trying to programmatize. I'm going to keep this short so this post doesn't drown under a wall of technical data, but any and all questions pertaining to any of this are welcome.

  1. Segment a VOD containing some Melee (tournament) gameplay into sets/matches and everything else. The framework for this is fairly far along but not yet self-contained or documented. However, I consider it to be more or less solved.
  2. Identify an (approximate) bounding box for those segments that contain gameplay. This comes for free with #1.
  3. Extract stock and percent time-series from segments. Again, this does not require much work once #1 (and thus #2) are functional.
  4. Extract and tabulate every frame of every action state of every character. This sounds like a lot but I'm working on a way to make it go a lot faster which is pretty much down on paper but hasn't quite been cobbled together yet.
  5. Extract action state data from segments. This is why we need #4. Again, this is a lot but I have some ideas on how to lighten the load a bit.
  6. Extract character X/Y position data from segments. This is the hard part. Lots of math here, mostly to engineer around the camera.

Now for the less boring part.

Let's say you have access to the following data for any frame of any (recent) match: remaining time; each character's percent and stock; each character's action state (name and frame); each character's X and Y position with respect to the stage.

What do you do with it? What metrics can you think of that turn a bunch of numbers into a story about two people and the options they select?

Here are a few examples.

  • By plotting damage versus time, you can see how long stocks last, and thus get a rough idea of the match's pace and momentum. On a more granular level, it gives some idea of the nature of each conversion. Long combos will show up as arrhythmic spikes, while chaingrabs or tech-chases will have a more gentle, fixed slope.
  • A while ago, noted Pichu guy xChaos made a heatmap of the positions at which Hbox won neutral versus top Sheiks on Battlefield, which wound up being wildly asymmetric. Also, /u/FetchFrosh made similar heatmaps of Hbox's and Armada's position during BH5 GFs. With full X/Y data, such a map could be generated automatically.
  • Also, given a lot of positional data for some character/stage combination, we can automatically cluster those observations into particular areas of the stage with an eye toward won/lost neutral interactions, followups, or similar criteria, similarly to what /u/xChaos did for Hbox on Battlefield. Let's say (for a less floaty character) that some of these areas end up being on the three platforms, left and right offstage, left and right ledge, and center stage. When does this character move between those areas? What patterns can we discern from the paths they take around the stage? How long do they prefer to stay in a single area?
  • Perhaps the most relevant, and most widely applicable: what does a given player or character like to do in a given situation? So, for example, what are n0ne's most common actions after he gets a knockdown on a Fox? What are the 3 things Mango's Falco does the most from ledge, and how safe are they? How does Armada's Fox differ from Leffen's when recovering on Dreamland against Hbox?

You get the idea. Any and all ideas are welcome! (Should this project actually come to fruition, you will be appropriately credited.)

LAN ETS 2017 Grand Finals and Results - SuperGirlKels vs. Blacktwins

Posted: 12 Feb 2017 01:07 PM PST

EDIT

Bracket is up here!


I seriously can't describe how hype and how close these two sets were. Blacktwins reset the bracket with a close as hell 3-2 and then a suspenseful 3-1 in Blacktwins's favor to take the event.

SGK hoped to take the event again as she did last year but in Game 4 of Set 2, Blacktwins got a quick DAir spike on the first stock. Wound up being last hit.

First - LGS EMG | Blacktwins - Cloud

Second - SuperGirlKels - Sonic

Third - LX | Venom - Ryu

Fourth - LX | Holy - R.O.B.

Fifth - MrGommi (Rosa) and LX | Nuke (Villager)

Seventh - FSharp (Ryu) and Fwed (Fox)

Ninth - Sharu, DarkAura, MTL HoH | Darkwolf, and wTT | Z
