Here's a list of banned custom variation options and combinations for competitive Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate
The Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate update implemented the ability to use custom variation options during competitive play. One can easily imagine how this will have a major impact on the tournament meta.
However, some moves are still banned from competitive modes and tournaments. Moves like Terminator's Terminate, D'Vorah's Mother Bug and other "resurrection" variation options are among the banned moves.
Although Rain has very fast grounded movement, it's possible for him to become even faster with the Wave Dash variation special. For better or worse, this ability has been banned from competitive play.
In addition to individual moves being banned, there are also a few combinations that can't be paired together. These are not quite as obvious as the indicating icon doesn't appear until after you try to create the desired variation.
For players that wanted to make RoboCop into a grappler rather than a zoning character, it's quite unfortunate that the Flamethrower and the Terminal Strip command grab can't be paired together.
Check out the full list of banned variation options and combinations below:
