OK, it sounds like they're not 100% sure yet, but they're leaning in the direction of every move being available for competitive play. I'm sure even if they don't manage to live up to that, the vast majority of moves will be.

Sounds awesome. Thank you!

I really want to know about tournament standards and if half of these moves we are seeing are not even useable.

Same here. Also the point values and what moves can and can't be woven together.

Erm, I don't see any confirmation here that every single special ability will be accounted for in a competitive-friendly variation. That's the part I haven't seen confirmed and was looking for direct confirmation of.

At this point, I would ask what evidence do you have (in what they've said) that moves won't be available? Because it seems to me you're looking for a disconfirmation of something "obvious" more than anything else.

Do you think that between those three variations, those will be a character’s entire moveset, or will there be custom-only moves?

No, I don’t think from the base three variations we’ll be adding to that. We want those things to be fixed, so players can know, "That’s the variation, I know how it plays, I’m learning how to fight against it.”

Across those three – that will be the character’s entire moveset?

Yeah. We don’t want to leave stuff out, so I imagine that’ll be the base three, and they’ll encompass all of what that character can possibly do.

This seems like evidence to me that he is not certain YET. Here's hoping they're all included, but he was not able to say for certain
/shrug

Foist, I didn't post that article, so don't at me bro.
Second, emphasising "I imagine" and "I don't think" doesn't erase "we don't want to leave things out" and "they'll encompass all what that character can possibly do".
Third, for all the emphasizing and theorizing I've seen in this thread and others, I am yet to see any actual proof that they said anything close to they won't be. Like literally, none.

Because that's how it was in the most recent NRS game with customizable movesets. The vast majority of moves were only available for casual play. So my expectation upon hearing "customizable movesets" was that unless explicitly stated otherwise, it would function similarly to Injustice 2.

But Rearawt already provided a quote that strongly suggests intent to function differently from INJ2.

lol. literally just answering your question. Naturally I'll at you, bro.

"I imagine" and "I dont think" are not the same as "yes" and "certainly". 3 months before release date and he could not give it a hard confirm.

What? Only 3 months left? But there's like 15 empty boxes on the select screen. How will they make it in time!?

I'd summarize it as an embarrassing and very amateur stream, and I turned it off quite early on. No one looked like they wanted to be there, the equipment wasn't working, and the sound was fucked. Do they not rehearse these things? They had an extra week for this one anyway.

Shame.

Bingo and it's sad how no one noticed this actual fact or brought it up except for you o_o.
