Contrary to what may be expected, a replay is not saved as a video recording of the match. Instead, each human player's input data, the match's {{s|wikipedia|random seed}}, and the general [[rules]] are saved, so when a replay is watched, the game actually regenerates the match from this data. This makes replays much smaller in file size than a video file, and it also allows for pausing and camera movement during the replay. A side effect of this method, however, is that replays in earlier versions of ''SSB4'' and ''Ultimate'' may become [[desync]]ed due to gameplay changes introduced in the latest update. As there is no way for the current model to combat this, all replays saved before the update will simply become unviewable. | Contrary to what may be expected, a replay is not saved as a video recording of the match.
