That’s very complex compared to a model I was thinking about while reading this article. Consider that many forms of sword fighting remove the complexity by creating zones. I’ve been told that a skilled swordsman can identify 16-32 zones considering where an attack can come from or where to strike. Isn’t this a much easier model if you factor in the weight/mass/velocity of each particular character? This would be a little like auto-aim but you could still compute each path and create effects against one when they happen or not. |

If you have 4-8 static blocks vs 16-32 attacks that would be fine, but if you need to calculate what happens when 16-32 attacks run into the same 16-32 attacks you have a combinatorial explosion problem which you then need to simplify.
One of the reasons I like going straight to the linear algebra approach is that you do a batch of basic arithmetic which the CPU does quite fast without branching, and then you do one branch to determine hit vs not-hit. Pairing zones with zones sounds like nested if/else statements, but I hadn't dived into considering that approach.
