Question in regards to "functional replays"

[Zenox]

So I was just wondering if it would be possible to implement a SC2 like replay function for matches. I'm not too versed in programming/computer science but I think it would be interesting to be able to turn things like hitbox mode on and frame-by-frame replay of higher level macthes. I'm not sure how this could be done, perhaps recording controller inputs then having them replayed (similar to TAS) at one's convenience. Could also allow for player take-overs in certain situations where one port continues replaying the recorded input and the other port switches to manual input. Thoughts?

This has recently been done by @Dan Salvato
