I see. Can't say I care. Custom moves are banned in For Glory, so they are worthless for me.

Try that at the two retail stores I worked at, and we'd tell you to have a nice day. The computer wouldn't let you ring up a game before it's launch date-- it doesn't matter how pathetic the customer would act, because the register wouldn't unlock unless it was after midnight on the release date.
Funny enough, I tried the same thing at a Toys R Us for a game I saw behind the case a few
days early. The granny working stock in electronics opened the case and tried to ring it up, but got this weird look on her face and pages a manager. He looked at the screen and shook his head, saying "we can't sell this till Tuesday" and looking at me like I should have known better.
I've tried, and heard, the "well, so-and-so are already selling it!" line a dozen times, too. I would pick up the phone and start dialing their number to confirm, which is usually enough to end it there.
...Thank God I don't work in retail anymore.

We will be using them here on gaf?
Custom moves are needed to make certain characters not-shit as well as add some actual variety to the damn game.
I mean if you get a character that only has a few good moves to use, atleast we can let people use custom moves and actually have potential for their own signature playstyle for that character rather than "Do the same thing as everyone else, because that's the only thing that works with this character".
Yes, they're going to be legal in the tournament where I give away a capture card, they're going to be legal in the online event mode stuff I'm going to do and they're going to be legal in quite a few things other gaffers end up doing.
They're going to be used a lot, there's no logical reason not to use them.

This isn't even my final form.
Nope, the game doesn't even show you if they're using custom equipment either, so people could technically get away with it if the increase was less noticeable.
That's not going to happen in local tournaments though.

Thats the only tournament we having? Well I just want to participate in the ones without custom moves as thats where ill be putting my time into and learning my characters. Dont care for customs unless somebody want them on for fun and stuff with items then its whatever.
The only GAF tournament I've seen not allowing them is the troubled bat one, I'm pretty sure the rest are ok with it.

Cool guess ill participate in that one
Stages with platforms are also banned in For Glory.
That one also restricts it to only female characters, it's more of a gimmick tournament really.
Nope, I think they just get posted in here.

That's a good way to get yourself disappointed with those list.
Why stop there. Add Stage Builder and Create An Events where y'all can trade and upload the events for people to clear it or so.
Alright, I would like to participate in tourneys, not sure how that would work
Don't forget 2v2 For Glory is 2 minutes Time mode, can't wait until that becomes the standard at 2v2 tournaments because "That's what it's like in For Glory"

For me, it's Xenoblade. Update on my progress, I just got 5th member joining my party.
I doubt it but it would be nice tho.
Of course we will! It's just a matter of when..
There are plenty of reasons to not use them competitively so please don't let your own bias somehow dictate the "logical" flow of things.
I'll start, custom moves add too many unknowns. If if does end up being 2-stock, 5-minute Smash games, that might promote campy/defensive play. Rather than knowing exactly what your opponent can do and being able to react accordingly, players might be hesitant to go on the aggressive because they have no idea what is going to happen when the opponent presses B. So, games would slow down before every B move is used, which just won't happen.
Fighters are fun because players know how the mechanics work, they know what their opponents can do, and it becomes a dialogue in that regard. Custom moves change the meanings of words to the point where it becomes hard for the players to understand each other. This will most likely push players to not pursue that dialogue as actively.
Custom moves are a nice idea, but competitively there are a lot of problems.

Just see/ask what moves they have. Problem solved.
I don't think "But you won't know what custom moves they're using!" is a good enough reason.
You either make them both tell each other what they're using after they've picked characters, unless there's a mutual agreement not to do so.
And if it's on the WiiU which is the one that really matters for tournaments, you'll both be on the same screen anyway at local tournaments and for online, the above still applies.

Can't there just be a rule that everybody attending a tournament has to tell their opponent what custom moves s/he's using beforehand?
I wont use them at all, but wouldn't be bothered if people wanted to use them.

Pure bullshit. Custom moves increase offensive options in almost all scenarios. No one in MvC3 just sits back to wait and see what assists were picked. You go in with your game plan aggressively.

Banning items and 90% of the stages is okay, but banning custom moves is a terrible idea.
As far as I'm concerned, online tournaments for Smash 3DS shouldn't have customs because you can't tell if they have equipment.
lmao
Are you serious?

Exactly! How you gonna ban some stuff but not others? Contradiction up the tail
Well all you no item guys have no glory. /s
Ask in the appropriate chat room what they are using. One will have to be in communication to organise when to get online so it's not like both parties will be in complete silence.
Also tournament rules come down to the organiser.
I don't ban anything.

Honestly, I don't even care about the optional stuff THAT much - but we definitely need to have a classic Target Test, an Event Mode, and more challenges than at least Smash - 480 is just a hopeful. :V
Is this supposed to be sarcasm? I can't tell.
Because yes, banning items and stages that get in the way of the game is okay whereas something that gives individual players more options and the ability to have some more variety in the characters without anything being massively overpowered or broken is a terrible idea.
Where do I sign up for it?
I'm just saying that For Glory probably isn't indicative of what the competitive rule set is going to wind up being, as it's pretty limiting, even without taking custom moves into account.
Of course, if you're interested in For Glory in particular and not the general competitive scene, then I misunderstood you.
