Use custom moves to balance tiers

[Mechageo]

I was thinking about how to use custom movesets in competitive play and I got thinking about Metaknight in Brawl. If we had had the ability to customize moves for him, perhaps he could have been toned down in such a way that he wouldn't have been banned so much.

This also applies to beefing up low tier characters.

Perhaps this will be a way for us to balance the tiers as the game reaches maturity.

What do you think?

I don't agree with banning individual custom moves, because then it opens up the potential to ban the second-best special, or the best special for the second-best character, and so forth. A blanket ban on customs except for specific better ones for low tiers has the same issues but in reverse. It's simply difficult to draw a clean boundary without any bias.

Eh...not sure about this. Maybe later down the line...?

Custom moves should naturally balance out the tier list without requiring specific bans.
