[Kakashi Hatake]

What happens when two attack moves hit each other? Is that situation that comes up often?

It comes up often in the case of offensive moves vs. defensive moves like shields and occasionally with offensive vs. offensive. For regular moves, the results can be how ever you'd want to write them as long as you follow the whole 'no God-moding' thing (if you have 1 ATK, you can't punch through a shield of someone with 3 DEF typically, etc.) Fights/sagas don't typically hinge on whether or not a move hits as it's usually down to writing quality. Most things are fine as long as your opponent and any judges don't object (destroying a shield with a powerful move might be fine, blowing a limb off with a pistol probably not). If it's a personal story, run it by the people you're writing with as a courtesy if it seems questionable.

For sake of argument though, it depends on which moves and who uses them. Specifically it would come down to stats, powers, proficiencies, fatigue and how the techniques work. Assuming both participants are freshly rested and uninjured, if it were something like Kakashi's shuriken (fast use, no fatigue) hitting Proto Man's Atomic Fire (small/medium charge, some fatigue), it's safe to assume the shuriken would be either destroyed or deflected. It's really a best judgment call. Super Moves on the other hand abide by their own rules. Gotta block a Tier-1 with at least a Tier-1, etc.

Sorry for the wall of text =P. Hopefully that answers your question.
