While Naruto Storm isn't entirely canon, there are things from it that are already accepted into this wiki as canonical, such as the OVAs from Generations and Revolution. This is good, since it means I don't need to make a case for why things from the games can be canon.

To be as straight-forward as possible: I believe we should accept movesets as canonical,

CC2 has confirmed that movesets of characters represent their capabiliities and are officially approved by Kishimoto. This is also further backed up by the official Naruto website stating that Kurenai's combo attack represents how her and Akuma would have faired against the Akatsuki if they teamed up.

Possible counter-point: ''What about Itachi and Shisui's Perfect Susanoós from the games?''

Nothing in the show confirms that they're unable to use it. When Itachi fought Sasuke he never went all-out as confirmed by Tobi, and it can also be argued he didn't use it due to it's heavy stamina consumption. With Kabuto it can be argued he didn't want to collapse the cave ( A Perfect Susanoó is huge ). If anything that'd just be a retcon, and would only mean we never got to see them use Perfect Susanoó despite being able to use it.

It doesn’t need to be a retcon tho, it can simply exist as a what if scenario for their perfect susano

As for the movesets of canonical abilities showcased in the games, I’m honestly fine with it as Kishimoto would be helping to incorporate them in a fashion he had intended / in his creative vision for his original work

So I agree as long as it’s for things that do exist in the manga
 
I'm quite alright with it, especially since Kishi has to approve (and confirm) canon versions could do them.
 
I might be wrong but Itachis and Shisuis PSs aren't available in regular playthrough of the story, they are only usable outside of it.

So it shouldn't be an issue. It means Kishimoto didn't approve them to have the abilities in the actual story and is more likely like Ghost said, a what if scenario.

The movesets that actually do appear as playable in the story or in the cutscenes should be fine then. Since those would still be approved to be something the characters can do within the actual story and not just as a what if
