How to reproduce 1. Go to CSS for a local match, with tourney mode on. 2. Ensure neither player is playtesting. 3. Player 2 should press start. 4. After Player 2 presses start, Player 1 should enter the playtest. In order for this to work, Player 1 must enter playtest AFTER Player 2 has pressed start, but before reaching the RPS screen. 5. You know the bug works if Player 1's inputs will trigger the selected character's attacks and sounds will play. 6. Go back to CSS by Player 2 pressing B twice. 7. Player 2 should begin playtesting. 8. If playtesting is not interrupted, it will eventually trigger a win for that player.
