Could you build this?

Partial A browser fighting game with characters, combat, and training modes is codeable with a 2D engine, but rollback netcode for ranked online play and polished hand-crafted content need specialised game-networking and art work.

What it would actually take: Use a web game engine (Phaser or a custom canvas/WebGL build) with a deterministic fixed-step simulation. Online play needs a rollback netcode library (GGPO-style) with a relay or matchmaking server and a ranking backend. The hard parts are deterministic simulation, rollback correctness and latency handling, and the art, animation, and balancing that make it feel finished.
