My opinion is simple it is fine. It works.
But the moves system is just as limited. Specific character types simply do not work in Omniverse and the Moves get arounds are strange at best. I refer to two in one characters and how its been much suggested that you could use moves to pretend you have Pokemon without using an Assist.
BWNN could make a good point with how the metrics moves have don't actually mean much when you get to the actual use. The only question to say this for sure is, are move mechanics judged upon in a fight? If my opponents used a move they didn't have, would the judge notice without me pointing it out? Are judges reading the profiles of every character and judging whether or not the moves were used correctly?
To that last one, if the answer is yes, then all move metrics matter. If the answer is no, then what moves actually do don't matter. If the answer relies on the players to read eachother's profiles and call out what is wrong well... that would be flawed in a dozen different ways. A player that complains puts themselves into a negative light. Complain and maybe get something, or complain and make a bad impression with a judge which can affect the judgement negatively? That player has a personal stake in calling out opponents so will not be neutral. You could get a community backlash for calling out your opponents for small flaws. Maybe not a big blowup, but giving everyone a bad taste for being pedantic and thus people are less inclined to post with you.
A bigger issue is, if we can decide move details don't matter enough what is the best way to implement such fairly?
