I can only predict that even though they stated this, there will be ways to optimize your output. Otherwise the game would break in two.

iirc, in that interview Yoshi mentioned that he did not want to add so many "breaks" in combat which staggered the flow of the fight.

With that statement I can already assume the MNK move Tornado Kick will be revised or removed.

I can also assume potential skill consolidation.

All speculation but that's what I think is going to happen.
