Sources, Evidence Levels, and Update Status

This page shows the public sources used by this site and explains what each source can—and cannot—support. A link being public does not make it current, complete, accurate, or available for republication. Each page independently rewrites the limited facts it uses and keeps the evidence level visible.

Public links grouped by task, with source type and limitation.

Evidence-level legend

Official/current source

A current public source controlled by the relevant publisher, developer, platform, or game operator. It supports only the specific visible fact cited; it does not automatically support unrelated gameplay details.

Pre-release source

An alpha, beta, preview, or older-build source. It may explain an earlier design but must not be presented as current-build behavior without a later cross-check.

Current player report

A dated public observation from a player. It may identify a possible issue or workaround, but it is not a patch note, a verified cause, or a promise of a fix.

Candidate

A label or claim supported by limited or indirect evidence while stronger confirmation is still missing.

Last checked

The date or timestamp when this project reviewed the source. It is not a claim that the source or game has not changed since then.

Avatar Wiki attribution

Character command names, inputs, and limited descriptions adapted from Avatar Wiki’s Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game pages are used under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported license (CC BY-SA 3.0), as specified by Fandom’s text-licensing guidance. The affected character tables retain direct article links as attribution to their community contributors. Changes include notation normalization, table formatting, duplicate-row merging, and explicit comparison with SuperCombo; adapted text remains under CC BY-SA 3.0.

Cross-check data comes from SuperCombo’s Avatar Legends wiki. Exact input-set matches are labeled cross-checked; additional SuperCombo variants are labeled as source-coverage differences; conflicting values are shown as Sources differ rather than resolved by guesswork.

How this site handles source gaps

Current community material now supports source-linked command tables for six priority characters and a partial SuperCombo-only table for Nightmare Korra. It still does not provide a complete independently verified command map for all 12 fighters, reproduced BnBs for every fighter, a full matchup chart, complete current numeric frame tables, exact regular Story unlock conditions, or universal device compatibility.

When a source does not support an exact claim, the related page either keeps the evidence level visible or leaves that claim unpublished. The PC requirements page, for example, keeps Valve status separate from the third-party Steam Deck performance test.

Update rules

  • Keep pre-release details visibly marked.
  • Keep player reports separate from patch-note status.
  • Preserve dated report history when a newer source appears.
  • Change a candidate label only when stronger evidence supports the exact label.
  • Recheck the keyboard guide after a mapping-related update.
  • Link public sources; do not copy protected media, and retain attribution whenever licensed text is adapted.

Core gameplay source status: July 29, 2026. Steam PC requirements status: July 26, 2026.

Core launch, content expansion, Story, performance-test, and character-study source status is dated July 28; PC specification status is dated July 26, 2026.

FAQ

Does a public source count as current or authoritative by default?

No. A public source may be pre-release, community-authored, incomplete, outdated, or unrelated to the exact claim being reviewed.

Why are pre-release sources included?

They can explain where a high-level concept came from, but their details remain labeled and are not promoted to current-build facts without a later cross-check.

What is the difference between a player report and a candidate?

A player report records a dated observation. A candidate is a label or claim supported by limited evidence while stronger confirmation is still missing.

Does the site republish screenshots, videos, or guide text from these links?

Protected screenshots and videos are not republished merely because they are public. Character command tables adapt limited Avatar Wiki text under CC BY-SA 3.0 with attribution, license URI, direct source links, and modification notes; other prose is independently written unless a displayed license says otherwise.
