But that literally takes a few seconds if you know where you're going. So, no, I don't find that impractical or all that awful really. Sure, I would prefer the custom moves to be attached to or easily accessible from the CSS somehow, but that not being so doesn't make custom moves "dead" in my eyes. I think that's a dramatic overreaction.
But besides that, we don't even know for sure that's the case either way. This is just a case of some tournament players roasting Sakurai for something else that he might not have even "screwed up" yet because it's the popular thing to do.
To be sure, it is an overreaction to write custom moves off altogether. But that doesn't mean that there aren't legitimate concerns here, or that voicing those concerns amounts to blasting Sakurai for ruining the game.
When people have talked about custom moves being dead, they've meant dead at tournaments. Even if it only takes a few seconds to swap moves, when every single player is swapping moves between every single match, those few seconds really add up. And for casual play, perhaps you're just more patient than I, but even knowing exactly where to go, I certainly wouldn't want to go back to the My Music page and fiddle with it after every fight, especially if there are other people in the room who I'm keeping waiting. So if custom moves are similarly far away from the CSS, switching custom moves out all the time may well be more trouble than it's worth. That doesn't mean custom moves are dead altogether, just that they won't get used as often as they would if they were located in a more convenient place.
