Poll: how often do you utilize the player-AI?
After spending countless hours watching the AI fights in Versus Mode (for development purposes, of course) I felt that a minimalist-input mode could be pretty fun. You watch passively most of the time but with the option of hot-seating in at any time for directly control. This hot-seating feature is achieved in the latest Versus Mode version where player input will halt the player-AI for 1.0 seconds, allowing you to select a grab when the player-AI lands a grab, for example.
Anyways, I want to know how much effort to put into facilitating those player-AI features going forward. (Just to be clear, player-AI means AI for player unit/ teammates, and not the enemy AI). For those that played HR, HRT, etc, how often did you utilize the player-AI? For HR/Versus Mode, that means how often did you turn on the AI for player character rather than playing manually? For HRT, I suppose the question can be translated as, how much did you rely on your teammates doing the work versus how much heavy lifting you did yourself?
This is a pretty important poll, especially for "HRT2" going forward. So I appreciate all your responses.

I wish the male characters could be h-moved by two girls together

I wish the male characters could be h-moved by multiple people as well
i play SR mainly, my favorite thing is long grabs... and im hopeful for the addition of the H-Move. hopefully you can designate one grab slot for a H-Move. i know its been discussed a few times. if you have LOW stamina then you should struggle more to escape. too often people just create equal fighters and let them battle to the close finish. which is fine, but also need be able to seperate fighter skills for good storytelling. fighters with lots of skills and fighters with little to no skills. but appreciate your dedication to the SR world Enlit!
I like to watch AI fights. But sometimes I would like to interfer just to see other moves. Therefore I like you idea of "option of hot-seating"
I tried to use AI to watch matches multiple times. But it never got anywhere. For instance the one character that starts with the tie up move would constantly do that, and nothing else. The same would go for other characters. Just keep using the same move with no alternation.
Personally, it's not 'fun' when it's not me.
HRT2? Yooo I joined this month and I could not be more excited learning you're working on a new one. Anyway I used the companions a lot in HRT but I always play SR Versus myself, I never watch AIs do the stuff.
Appreciate the enthusiasm, but "HRT2" is probably still months away. You might get a couple of glimpses with the upcoming prototypes though. Afterall, that is their purpose ;)
I was kinda waiting for you to add more AI difficulty similar to the amount of your previous game
Sure, but that is a different problem.
I usually just turn the AI off and use holds on them for fun.
