Super Smash Borg Melee: AI takes on top players of the classic Nintendo fighting game

You can add the cult classic Super Smash Bros Melee to the list of games soon to be dominated by AIs. Research at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory has produced a computer player superior to the drones you can already fight in the game. It's good enough that it held its own against globally-ranked players. Its cutesy appearance belies its strategic depth: "The SSBM environment has complex dynamics and partial observability, making it challenging for human and machine alike. The multiplayer aspect poses an additional challenge," reads the paper's abstract.
