📋 About This Mod

This mod makes half sword a little harder. It features a new AI willie that will constantly learn your styles and techniques, Making You have to Constantly Adapt! Also Willie no longer flops on the ground like a fish. Enjoy!

                                  !Important!

This mod works best in free play mode single combat.

   You can use any weapon or armor and it will learn you.

 For now if you add a second willie and have a willie fight,

   that could really mess up the AI memory making it fight weird.

I'm working on adding progression mode and being able to fight multiple willies as well as                   willies fight each other so you can have your willie fights.. 

 This mod can tank performance if you use other mods like halfsword enhancer, sadly I cant fix that one but this is a dope mod on its own and who knows I might figure something out one of these days. It's an on going battle and every version should get better.
