M2 was pretty much trying to figure out how to bridge M1 to M3 and was never prepped for so there's plenty of iffy stuff. the gameplay writeup stuff though, that's def a M1 holdover and you could see it getting weened off as time passed.

it's always been a weird thing, though does have some defining aspects from time to time. feats and whatnot were always valid even in those writeups, it's just more of "how do they perform?" sort of things. Dante would be an example where gameplay vs. cutscene is a huge diff not just in capabilities but literally styles - Trickster is gameplay for DMC3 and allows teleportation, no styles exist in cutscenes and he maybe shows something like it once in DMC4. for fighters, especially like GG, the only thing it really does is define that supers take a while to charge. a bunch of scenes happen in gameplay for that series.

really the biggest holdover to the match isn't "gameplay Sol," it's "Accent Core Sol." there's a big difference in that in canon.
