Maybe the game saves replays by recording all actions and their durations. Then when replayed those previously recorded button presses are replicated with the exception of jump being reproduced only by the "up" button and not the alternative "x" or "y" options. That would explain why his character climbed the ladder when during the original match, he had jumped. That one offset could throw of all of the subsequent actions and result in the outcome of the entire match being changed.



It was stated that this error only occurs on custom maps, but perhaps with more extensive testing it could be narrowed down to only the maps that have ladders, and only when one attempts to jump while in front of said ladder.



Or maybe I think too much.

No there wasn't a program... but the goes from different replay numbers have got me interested
