AI leaders to host Street Fighter III bot tournament with $15K in prizes 6079 \/ CAPCOMFighting game fans are sure to raise their eyebrows at this latest esports project, which pits AIs against each other for a first-of-its-kind \u2018bot vs bot\u2019 Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike tournament series. Step aside, Daigo \u2014 it\u2019s time for AI to take the main stage. Although the fighting game community is deeply rooted in competition between human players, a group of AI \u201cfree-thinkers\u201d is here to change this in a move that they claim will be a massive shift in the world of competitive gaming. Enter \u2018AI Prize Fight,\u2019 a new online-only tournament series that \u201cmerges artificial intelligence with competitive gaming.\u201d In this tournament, both fighting game players and AI enthusiasts can train a bot in Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike to battle on their behalf by submitting prompts to a language-learning model, LLM Colosseum. Players can sign up for the competition as team dojos and submit their prompts. Other players can then join the dojos they believe have the best prompts. These dojos will include members of the independent AI movement, as well as prominent web3 communities. AI Prize Fight will kick off in June 2024 in \u2018Friday Night Fight\u2019 weekly matches. These battles will culminate in what\u2019s promised to be an \u201cepic grand finale,\u201d with over $15,000 in prizes including a Tier 3 Node from Wire Network, 6079 experience points, and more. AI Prize Fight is orchestrated by a number of \u201cthought leaders\u201d in the independent AI space; specifically, 6079, Wire Network, Morpheus, Hyberbolic, and Exabits. \u201cAt its core, AI Prize Fight is not just an event; we\u2019re hoping to introduce a pivotal new chapter for AI esports,\u201d said Mike Anderson, CEO of AI Layer Labs and core contributor to the 6079 protocol. \u201cWe believe this is a novel concept that can change the landscape of esports by introducing AI-driven gameplay through prompt engineering. The process combines human ingenuity and machine learning to create an entirely new form of entertainment.\u201d AI is nothing new in the world of fighting games. In fact, an Eddy Gordo bot has been wreaking havoc in Tekken 8 as of late, spamming the capoeira fighter\u2019s left kick and working its way up the ranked ladder thanks to \u201cexactly 21 lines of Python.\u201d Tekken 8\u2019s Super Ghost AI system has also sparked some conversation from players, as it creates a near-perfect \u2018copy\u2019 of a player that can be used for training purposes. One player was able to save the \u2018Ghost\u2019 of their deceased brother, who died shortly after the game was released, allowing him to play with his sibling even after he was gone \u2014 a story that managed to catch the attention of series director and producer Katsuhiro Harada. Even AI tournaments themselves aren\u2019t a novel concept in the FGC. Players have been pitting bots against each other for quite some time now, but watching two Level 8 CPUs play against each other has become a notable pastime among Street Fighter 6 players. We\u2019ll just have to see if AI Prize Fight truly \u201cchanges the landscape\u201d of esports as it hopes to do, or whether or not the FGC chooses to embrace this latest form of competition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
