This probably isn't a huge revelation but I just found this out and I figured it might be interesting for people to make note of.

Even though damage up gives 9% for the first main and defense up give 5% for the first main, if a player with 1 damage up attacks a player with 1 defense up the bullet will do standard damage. I tested this if different guns and different amounts of strength and defense up and it always holds true, if they are equal the attack does standard damage.

I also tested out whether 3 damage subs are equal to 1 defense main, and they are not equal (1 main is slightly stronger (though the difference is only ~0.50%)). These results is a bit odd since 3 damage subs should be ~8.25% increase while 1 defense up should be ~5.05% increase.

The only hypothesis I have right now is that one their own Damage Up is better than Defense Up, but when they clash they are treated as though they have equal percents.
