public sealed class ComputerFighter : Component, IPlaytestReport

Has the computer play a FightingCharacter, for one player against the computer and for a training dummy: it walks in, attacks with the fighter’s own moves when it’s close enough, guards (low against a low) as its opponent attacks, jumps in with an air move now and then, and cancels a hit into a special. Or it just stands, crouches or jumps, for training (Behavior). It works the fighter as a player would, holding directions and doing moves by name, so the fighter’s frame data, blocking and combos are the same either way.

What it decides comes from its own Seed, kept with the scene, so the same fight goes the same way every time and after a rewind. The fighter’s own controls are ignored while it has one.

This is a component: its saved properties are on its component page.
