what's the use of a huge amount of variables?

it seems that every decent mugen character's cns code is largely consisted of a huge amount of variables, no matter what the actual sctrl is, their values are always variables as opposed to actual numbers. I have no idea how this helps improve the character, and it also looks very cryptic and complicated, anyone care to explain? thank you

How do variables help improving the character ? They store numbers to be used later. If something has its value set according to a variable, it means this variable was given a value earlier and the author needed to remember this value, to use it on that something afterward. Just fucking look for what the variable represents.

If I struggled to the end of my determination, to the end of my way of life with my followers, if the result is ruin, then this ruin is inevitable. Grieve. Shed tears. But you cannot regret.

I meant something like this
[mcode]poweradd = 70*(1000+var(24))/1000*ifelse((var(15)||var(16)),0,1)*(10+(var(59)*6))/10[/mcode]
are lines like these exactly neccessary? Doesn't a simple number do the same job? I really don't know so.....

Okay, again, look for what these variables represents, and try to switch them for their value. See if you can.

If I struggled to the end of my determination, to the end of my way of life with my followers, if the result is ruin, then this ruin is inevitable. Grieve. Shed tears. But you cannot regret.

no,a simple number does not do the job.
