Arena battles have never been real-time. Not even sure how they would do that — what do you do if some one else takes 45 minutes to finish? Hang around?

No, you are playing someone else’s replay. It’s a real run, according to Rovio, that they save on their servers. You are playing the most recent run for that level and that opponent. They might stink that run (I’ve destroyed some opponents) or might have a sequence where you lose 10 in a row (I’ve had that happen, too). But you are playing another person as closely as possible.

Two issues that remain (and that Rovio is supposedly working on):

— The match algorithm seems off at times, and some opponents look like cheaters. Not sure if they match by star level, average score, bird power, or a combination, but some matches seem too easy while others seem impossible to beat.
— The play of your opponents cards can be wacky at the end. It used to be your opponent burned cards up front too fast and got a huge lead, but now it is the other way around…it seems like opponents finish with 3-4 cards out of nowhere. We’re not sure whether that is an interface glitch, cheating, or what, but Rovio is supposedly working on that, too.

So that’s why your opponent always finishes up as you do — because the computer is showing you how your opponent’s run finished up. Their final score should accurately reflect how they last did (at least that is how it is supposed to work).

Hope this information helps…
