Machine Mind Meets Fighter Mirror

from Sparks and Recreation

After a month long hiatus from Hero Realms discussion, the crew of Dubz, Filtrophobe, and Tuff reunite to find out just what everyone has been up to both in and out of the realms! Discussions of Tuff's experience at Pax U includes brief coverage of both Legends tournaments that took place along with highlights of his most anticipated games from his convention haul.  Turning the spotlight over to Filtro, we get to hear a bit about how his recent wedding, reception, and honeymoon went before gearing up for the main segment -- what would happen if you could teach AI how to play Fighter mirrors in Hero Realms and then simulate millions of games under different builds and circumstances? Filtrophobe asked this very question and set his software engineering chops to vibe coding his way to the answers!  A beefy main segment supported by data from these simulations gets into what builds are favored and why, when it's worth it to actually buy a card off the market, and when one may even forgo skilling in order to purchase. (Time stamp included!) A usual stop through the community round-up and a WWYD are all also included of course.
