Playing back replays will only ever be done by the original lf2, since the replay only remembers the random seed assigned to each battle and what buttons are pressed. And creating a 100% exact replica of lf2 would be impossible (we have no idea how physics works, how the random seed is generated, how the random seed is then used by everything). Skipping parts of the replay would also be impossible (if my theory is correct), since lf2 won't know what happened during those parts. Only way to create a "skipping" effect is by speeding up lf2 so much that all those frames pass by almost instantly.
Of course I could be wrong, and the replay feature was implemented in a really smart way.
