HAVE YOU NEVER TRIED TO MAKE A REPLAY USING SYMMETRIC MOVES ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THE GAME ENGINE IS FLAWED AND WILL PRETTY QUICKLY STOP BEING SYMMETRIC EVEN THOUGH ALL YOUR MOVES SHOULD BE

there's a TON of rng involved in this game because this game is pretty much completely just a physics simulation and computer generated physics and especially collisions which happen in the game all the time are nowhere near perfect

for example imagine you're kicking someone super hard in a multiplayer game
the way this engine works it just checks if you're touching anything every frame
if you're moving fast enough, you can go completely through the other player between 2 frames so that in both frames you're not touching anything even though you went through the other player
in this case the game decides you didn't touch anything
so let's go back to you kicking your opponent, there are 2 possibilities: either you happen to hit your opponent when a frame is registered and you get the sickest kick ever OR you happen to touch your opponent between 2 frames and the hit is not registered and you just go through as if he never was there
obviously the game does not give you enough information for you to be able to tell frame perfectly if you're going to get that sweet hit or not, especially since your opponent is also moving unpredictably

there is obviously a lot of rng at play and no way of ABSOLUTELY MASTERING THE GAME LIKE AN OMNIPOTENT BEING especially since the game doesnt tell you enough information for you to be able to use THE ABSOLUTE COUNTER MOVE every time even if you happened to know something like that
