Inspiration: We’ve always been interested in fighting games and esports, so we wanted to build something that connects AI with competitive gaming. The idea for AI Fighter Matchup came from wanting a tool that could actually help players understand their matchups and improve strategically not just rely on random tier lists.
What We Learned: Since this was our first real project, we learned how to connect a frontend (React) with a backend (FastAPI), how to work with APIs like Google Gemini, and how to structure a full-stack project from scratch. We also learned a lot about teamwork, version control, and managing features during a hackathon.
Challenges: Our biggest challenge was definitely getting the backend connected to the frontend. Setting up routes, handling fetch requests, and making sure data flowed correctly took a lot of trial and error. But once we got it working, it really made the project feel complete.
