If the game is completely symmetrical, it would be funny if someone comes up with an "AI" which just mirrors the opponent's moves. If it acts faster than the frames, we would always get a draw.

Edit: Nevermind, just read about the power ups.

That is definitely a strategy :) Have seen people try imitation learning in other AI programming challenges too -- although usually they perform worse than the original agent they imitate.
