Your right on the minor update part, but that is to be expected as the game is just a combination of Frontier, Online, and the Main series together rather than the next Generation.
From a westerner's POV that didn't port Frontier, it's all new since Frontier and Online mechanics are region exclusive that have yet to see a western port. Then again, we may not even see a western port of cross :P
As for gaming industry stuff, don't think Capcom ever claimed such thing just the thread saying it did <_<
Currently it's considered as a Main series game. No idea on why would it be considered as a spin off since it's basically Frontier + Online + Main series hence why it's titled "Cross".
Those super moves, as said above, are from Online and Frontier.
