All the fights in the video are taking place in story modes, so basically there is no one really suffering here. When you try to hack your health or change how the cards work in multiplayer, you will end up getting booted up from the match because of your card data file not matching with the one of your opponent. Like, what happens if you hack in multiplayer when you mean boot out? Does it instantly disconnect you or does it crashes the app? If then, then how can there be Smash hackers that gets Zombot 1000 from Transmogrify or using Cheating Zombie? It gives you the "There is a problem with your game" message.

I don't know that, my friend tried to test it by changing Paparazzi's strength and health to 2 but it ended up registering for him as a 2/2 and for his opponent as 1/1 (he made it so he could control both sides by technically playing "himself") and when the combat would start, the game wouldn't understand what is going on and would boot out the player with the modified file. I don't know what makes these cards still work differently, maybe not everything in the coding is hacker-proof. Maybe you can change cards in your hand or get many cards into your hand. I'd suggest not testing it out, but That seems like the most probable hack to be unnoticed by the system you describe.

You cannot modify cards during the gameplay and even if you could, that still wouldn't slip past the combat phase as the modification of said card would not be active on your opponent's side.
