Bandai Namco Entertainment deployed an AI system in Tekken 8 called Super Ghost Battle, which learns from each player's in-game behavior and generates a digital copy that other players can fight against. The Ghost replicates the individual player's moves, habits, and even mistakes based on accumulated play data.
Details
The Super Ghost system uses machine learning to analyze a player's combat inputs, movement patterns, and strategic tendencies, producing an AI-controlled replica that mirrors that specific player's playstyle. The more a player plays, the more accurate their Ghost becomes. As of the March 2025 patch (v1.13), Bandai Namco further expanded the feature to allow AI Ghosts to compete against each other in 'Ghost vs. Ghost' battles and to refine their behavior based on player evaluations.
