Name a better western programmer than Ed Boon. Mortal Kombat 2 AI is a work of art.
Carmack, too easy. Though Boon is a bigger name for such a shitty genre (fighting games)
>>12626762all he ever programmed were mortal kombat games since the start of the 1990s (and no, we're not including pinball machines that he programmed in the 80s). basically any programmer that's done more than one series of game is better than this dude
>>12626762Is that Tom from myspace?
>>12626762You mean the cheating ai that makes the single player shit?
>>12626787I thought so too for a second
>>12626762The same Ed Boon that programmed the CPU to literally CHEAT? Ok.
>>12626762one of the biggest hacks in the industry
>>12626762Sawyer, Meier, Raynal
>>12626762Carmack.Doom code is still a work of art.
Didn't the guy who made Rollercoaster Tycoon program the whole thing himself in assembly? I've only ever made games in Pico-8 so could someone explain to me, a literal retard, how Doom is more impressive than RT in this way?
Demis Hassabis. At 17, he co-programmed Theme Park, then built the adaptive creature AI for Black & White. He later founded DeepMind, moving from game development to creating AlphaGo and AlphaFold.
John CarmackKen SilvermanChris SawyerI don't even think Boon rates in the top 10 and he has admitted he hasn't touched code in any recent MKs
>>12626762He's most likely a good programmer but the really talented folks like Carmack, Silverman, Sweeney, Mathisen, Hecker and many others are way beyond his level.Stil he was good enough to create a commercial product under time restraints - something most people will never be able to pull off.
>>12627023this game is so comfy
>all this false flaggingwe don't talk shit about Ed Boon here
David Crane
>>12626762>mortal kombat 2 cpu is a work of art.>cpu cheats all the time with reaction times higher then normal.I kek.
>>12627023This game has fucking nothing going on.
>>12626787>>12626813Same, thought this was a shitpost from the thumbnail lol.
>>12626762Any kid who got a gold star on a gradeschool homework assignment.
>>12627895Not only the reaction times, it also literally does shit that is impossible for a human player, like Liu Kang jumping, throwing an air fireball and then transitioning directly into a bicycle kick without his feet ever touching the ground or clipping through your throw to hit you with an uppercut, etc
>>12628413Only gamers with big meaty cocks can play that game
>>12629048Street Fighter II is just as bad, if not worse, with the walking charged moves and stopping a player's attack mid-animation to replace it when an enemy attack. There should seriously have been a class action lawsuit at some point. Their entire business model was based on fleecing children.
>>12629048>i'm mad about tings youtube told me to be mad aboutWhat a winner
>>12629649The kids who played these games all knew and openly talked about how the games cheated. The youtube videos on it are just the confirmation.
My deepest desire is to make Ed Boon sit down on a chair and he's not allowed to get up until he beats the MK2 arcade ladder without using exploits.
>>12629704I thought I was the only one.
>>12629660None of these kids played these games
>>12629649What a bizarre thing to say. I've literally witnessed it countless times, just play the fucking game against the CPU. These aren't rare occurrences.
>>12629704>>12629726This but he's also stripped naked and forced to sit in a bath full of ice water.
>>12626816It's the Dominican way, gringo
>>12626762Dave Perry
>>12626762Easy. Not only the best programmer but the best at all things games.
>>12630702Cringe meme post and you'll never make me dislike Tommy.
>>12630719>you'll never make me dislike TommyIt wasn't intended to. Anyone who goes against gaming racists is OK in my book.
>>12629048I remember hearing the ai in MK2 always counters throws. Even if they're in the dying "finish him" pose they'll counter your throw.
>>12626809The input reading AI that pulls off moves that would be impossible for a human player to do, not because of reaction time, but because the game lets it cheat and do moves in less frames than required? Yeah, thats the one.
>>12629704In my version I give them a full week to practice and git gud. Then the real game begins and each time they die or lose, they get smacked across the face. The smack isn't particularly hard but it's enough to make them play better to avoid further punishment. I cheer them on and even give them a high five when they do well but the very second they lose they get another smack. "That was pretty close, though!" I say as I rub my hand on my shirt.
>>12629704>>12629726>>12630606>>12631005MK2's difficulty must've been mind bending at the time to hold this kind of grudge (probably doesn't help that it feels like you're being robbed)
>>12627416OG goat
