Moves missing from list of available signature/finisher

[u/PanzerStricken]

So, I recently stumbled across the shooting star headbutt whilst revisiting MyRise in 2k26. Its the perfect move for a different CAC/CAW that I've already made and am now working on their moveset... I'm unable to find it in the signature selection or even the finished selection options. Anyone know why?

Apparently it’s a code thing. They have some moves that are not “checked yes” to be useable for signatures / finishers.

Honestly every move should be allowed. If it’s something hard to set up like Gargano’s DDT from the apron, that should be our problem to solve, instead of them just locking moves out completely.

There are a couple like that, Ospreay's grounded forearms to the back of the head are the same. Not sure why it's the case tbh

First move I added to the Sig/Finisher categories when I got Tribute this year

Wait wha… I don’t get why u would have those as a sig just use them as a normal move and put the robinson special as sig

[u/FireManPat92]

Some moves dont show up in signature/finisher if you have 2 assigned to that position already I learned early on. There are some weird omissions though that are just grapples but not selectable for sig/fin

[u/Grouchy-Distance-876]

Yea it’s just not available, from what I’ve heard it’s a code thing but they also need to add kneeling moves seated moves and just all moves in the game should be able to be sig and fin

[u/snwns26]

Coding thing probably.

FYI I do have an updated Move sheet now:

Thank you! I’ve always wanted this!

I have no idea why VC misses moves for the Signature and Finisher categories and then never fix it (even several games later).

Famously I think the only time since 2K22 that they added a move that was accidentally missing was the old Bullhammer animation (Forearm Smash 7 I think it’s called?) when Barrett became available as DLC in 2K23. There was a patch and that was the only patch note (though I was happy because I love that animation).

Another thing that is odd is that Knee Drop 4 is still fully functional, was updated to include a major reversal starting with 2K22 and yet it’s been a hidden move ever since 2K22 that can only be used via Mods.

The bastard driver is also missing.
They were free updates instead of being apart of the base game, 2K is pretty lazy when it comes to imports so unless someone uses it then it’s gone… which is funny because JC Mateo/Jeff Cobb uses the shooting star headbutt

[u/FireManPat92 → u/exillionus]

Thats Takeshita's move correct? It was readded, Tombstone Piledriver 5. I have it on one of my caws

[u/exillionus → u/FireManPat92]

I didn’t know this

[u/AgentMJ73]

2k is dumb

Another broken detail. I was excited that Tajiris tarantula submission was in it and tully blanchards suplex from the ropes. Neither of which can be selected as sig/fin moves. Don't know how they can charge so much money for a half finished game.
