They are at once brilliant demonstrations of programming ingenuity and cautionary tales about the potential for creative tools to be used destructively. For every player frustrated by an unbeatable null character, there is a creator marveling at the cleverness of a newly discovered exploit. Their primary goal is not just to win,

When a Null Edit fights a standard character, the match ends in less than a millisecond. However, the community truly thrives on matches.
