Rocket League Bots are getting good....really good. Just a couple months ago I showed off Necto, the champion-level machine learning bot that had taught itself to play Rocket League. Well custom AI in Rocket League seems to be a fast paced business because we are already back with Necto Version 2 or Nexto. Nexto has put in over 200 thousand hours of it's own training and already has surpassed the skills of it's predecessor, Necto. Nexto can dribble and flick, aerial, and even pull off some back board defence. It's creators claim Nexto is now a Grand Champion Bot and today in this video we will put those claims to test.
First Nexto will need to show that it can overcome Necto's weaknesses. When Necto easily defeated Diamond players in 2v2 it set a new high bar for Rocket League bots. But unfortunately Necto was not strong enough to take down Champion Rocket League players. Nexto aims to pick up where Necto left off.
But does Nexto even look like a higher ranked player? I decided to put that to the test as well by bringing in two professional Rocket League Coaches for a special version of Rocket League Guess the Rank. Will the coaches be able to tell they are watching bots play? What rank does Nexto look like? And finally, can this new Machine Learning RLBot keep up with GCs in Rocket League?
Let's find out.
