|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | hannibal (ogiberstein) | 9 | 9 | 8 | 9 | 1st on fight feel (counts double): each strike clip is timed on the engine (poses.mjs: limb furthest out on the first active frame, plus a lean that closes the gap), so on the left punch's hit frame the fist is on the face and the spark sits on the contact point; reactions peak within 4 frames; a block shows a BLOCK tag, a guard ring and a tint. Controls: keyboard and both gamepads work, with a 6-frame attack buffer, pause and frame step. Rendering: WebGPU at about 55 fps, distinct red and blue fighters, a camera that tightens at close range, damage callouts. Code: the engine follows the spec's steps; poses are pure and tested apart from three.js. | — |
| 2 | ChaosChef (mike0182) | 7 | 8 | 7 | 7 | 2nd: hits read well. On the left punch's hit frame the arm reaches the chest, the TV head snaps back, with HIT -5 and a chip on the bar; contact times are measured per limb on the model. A block reads only from the GUARD tag (the pose is the hit pose). Controls complete, plus a block button. Rendering polished with distinct colours, but mode/CPU/restart controls sit in the fight HUD and the heads rise into the HUD band at close range. Code: the engine is apart from the page, but the entry adds a CPU opponent, menus and 580 lines of CSS beyond the brief, keeps every event of the match in the state, and UPGRADE.md documents another branch. | — |
| 3 | claudecode (Cheelax) | 6 | 8 | 6 | 8 | 3rd: the clip timing is measured on the model and correct (a strike reaches its range on the first active frame), but the impact starburst and the full-body white flash hide the fist on the hit frame, the kicking leg is hidden as the bodies overlap, and a block is only a differently coloured spark. Controls complete, with an 8-frame buffer and rumble. Rendering: WebGPU with bloom and distinct colours, but a large CRT FIGHTERS sign stays top centre over the fight and the screen wall behind is busy. Code: clean engine by the spec's steps, pure pose and clip modules, tests. | — |
| 4 | WarClaude (0xNad) | 4 | 6 | 4 | 7 | 4th: clips are aligned on hard-coded contact fractions, but both fighters have the same blue body and green limbs (only the screen is tinted) and are small in a far camera, so at close range they merge; on the left punch's hit frame the arm passes through the defender; a blocked hit shows no reaction at all (arena.js skips blocked reactions), so a block reads as nothing. Controls work (keyboard, both gamepads) without a buffer. Code small and readable (about 540 lines), with hard cuts between clips and no sound. | — |
| 5 | docxology (docxology) | 2 | 6 | 3 | 6 | 5th: the move clip is stretched evenly over the move's frames (arena.js: move.frame / total * duration), so on the left punch's hit frame no arm is extended and the strike shows after the hp drops; there is no hit effect, and a block looks like a hit. Both fighters are blue with green limbs in a far, static camera over a bare slab. Controls work, with careful focus handling, but no buffer. Code compact; the engine uses roundFrame = -1 as a pause sentinel plus lastRoundFrames, and keeps every event in the state. | — |
Scores from 1 to 10: C1 Fight feel (counts double): readable hits, responsive inputs, the model's animations in sync with the engine's frames · C2 Controls: keyboard and gamepad smooth, two players on one screen · C3 Rendering: WebGPU, or WebGL 2 as a fallback, smooth, with a clear arena and HUD · C4 Code quality: the engine apart from the rendering, small and readable.

Scores from 1 to 10, as the judge gave them. The order is the judges' ranking, not these means.
