Objective

Design and prototype a VR UI system that displays pre-rendered previews of how the player's selected action would resolve against each potential opponent action, showing the complete 6-tick Round resolution with all attribute changes.

---

Core Concept

When the player selects an action (e.g., DIRECT_STRIKE), the UI displays a prediction matrix showing:

• What happens if opponent plays each of their 9 possible actions
• The full 6-tick resolution sequence for each matchup
• Final state after resolution (health, essence, position, etc.)

This gives the player strategic visibility into the consequences of their choice before committing.
