Could you build this?

No A browser-based fighting game featuring Melee-style frame-exact mechanics and deterministic rollback netcode is one of the hardest technical challenges in game programming.

What it would actually take: Implementation requires a completely deterministic game physics/state engine compiled to WebAssembly (typically written in Rust or C++) decoupled from the rendering loop (Canvas/WebGL). Networking requires WebRTC DataChannels coupled with a GGPO-style rollback netcode implementation that predicts remote frames, rolls back simulation state upon desync, and resimulates frames within 16.6ms. A specialized real-time matchmaker and state synchronization architecture is also required.
