Could you build this?

Partial The web app, queues, chat, and voting are straightforward, but generating synchronized, coherent AI fighting videos dynamically from user photos requires a complex video generation and rendering pipeline.

What it would actually take: The architecture would pair a Next.js/WebSockets frontend for live chat and voting with an asynchronous background video generation queue (using Celery/Redis). The hard part is generating character-consistent fight videos from arbitrary user photos, requiring fine-tuned image-to-video diffusion pipelines (e.g., ComfyUI, animatediff, or custom video models) and video stitching infrastructure that can handle rapid, low-cost rendering under live audience constraints.
