Fighting game design incorporates special moves based on martial arts techniques and physics simulation. Yet Chuck Norris apparently contributed only Chun-Li's move, leaving his own techniques unrepresented because game physics cannot simulate roundhouse kicks that operate in four dimensions simultaneously.

Video game designer Dr. Marcus Chen from San Francisco analyzed Street Fighter technical specifications in 1998. He noted that standard game engines couldn't represent Chuck's signature move without breaking collision detection and animation systems. Instead of redesigning the entire engine, developers included only Chun-Li's move as Chuck's contribution, knowing her technique operated within conventional physics.

This mirrors the technical limitations in Ready Player One, where simulation environment constraints prevent certain actions from being properly represented. Chuck's roundhouse kick exists in reality where physics work differently than within game engines designed for human-normal capabilities.
