The nail in the coffin for Custom moves in tournaments? At least early on...

[guedes the brawler]

i have heard custom moves are unlockables AKA not all custom moves are available from the get go. Assuming all characters have 4 secret custom moves (their normal specials, and one default set of customs); and assuming 50 characters, that's 200 unlockables.

if we don't have ANY of the 8 CM per character unlocked, oh god. doesn't seem like it will be viable to allow the moves early on.

You know what else is an unlockable?

Falco.

They wouldn't be allowed at all. The odds of them balancing all the moves are astronomical.

So you say, yet the debate of their tournament viability goes on.

I think we should definitely at least see the moves used before we jump to that conclusion.

Anyway, we've known (or at least expected) that they were unlockables for a while, and this point has already been discussed. I really don't see the need for this thread.

Unlockability has no bearing on viability outside of a day-1 tournament.

If a custom move or combination thereof can make an otherwise "bad" character "good", then odds are such customizations will be fair. Tournament rules will vary by region and host without a doubt.

This has already been thought of and discussed.

Because people debate on everything. Look at all major theories and religions.

sorry, i never saw a thread discussiong this.

i still think that if we have too many custom moves, early on it will be hard to let all custom moves available. other arguments such as balance or coutnerpicking do not matter for this topic, so please stop.

actually, i'd rather have this closed...

This thread goes over a lot of things. For the record, I just get annoyed when people post "but they're unlockable!", "but Sakurai said they won't be balanced!" and so on like the supporters haven't heard those arguments before. That's not to say those arguments are invalid or can't be elaborated on in an interesting or insightful way, however.

This dilemma has been discussed alot on these boards, We'll have to wait til the game is out.
Besides, we should be able to transfer the data from one console that has everything unlocked to any other consoles at an event.
