Characters Held Hostage By One Variation

In my opinion, your post is the best in this thread, but but keep in mind that adding more moves to a character's base only benefits the best variation. For example, giving more universal options to Kitana only benefits Highborn and giving more options to Scorpion only benefits Reborn so you are indirectly buffing each character's best variation. The variation system is fundamentally flawed and difficult to balance for this and many other reasons.
That's why I included that balance changes would need to come alongside having the additional move added to the base kit. Highborn Kitana is a prime example: neither of those moves feel like "baseline" abilities that should be universal so it'd be 100% upside for Highborn in getting an additional move. There'd need to be balance adjustments to bring the other two variations up to Highborn's level.
