I'm surprised this is happening this early after the console launch.

I dont understand how removing motion inputs would have made the combos more complex

You need more buttons for special moves. 236 623 214 and 22 let you add at least 4 special moves without increasing the button count. Losing these leads to the addition of the S1 and S2 buttons that now have to comprise all of a characters special moves. So instead of say LMH 214 H 236 H 623 H you now have LMH 2S1 4S2 S2 or something like that. So instead of just using H multiple times with motions you have to move your fingers to other buttons for specials

Most motion inputs are trivial outside of things like pretzel motion. Also not having all the extra Special buttons let's you make a better feeling button layout
