If you look at the subpage as just a depository of articles-we-didn't-want-to-make, then yes, overlap is a problem. But if you look at it as a straight reporting of a game's movelist, then overlap is necessary, even expected. Like what is done with episode credits: Naruto's VA does not change from episode to episode so there's not really a need to list it each time, but it is because it's supposed to be a faithful reporting of each episode's cast.

Now, if part or all of a character's movelist is the same in more than one game, it could probably be transcluded from one to the other(s) in order to save time and encourage uniformity (as in, typos don't need to be corrected in five articles).

If different effects share the same name, the effects should be put together under that shared name but all of the effects should be accounted for. So I would endorse the Soul Hunting example you provided. I used Chibaku Tensei before as another oft-appearing jutsu that differs from game to game, and there are several other animanga jutsu that already make special note of video games' variations. This has the added benefit of accounting for all of a jutsu's appearances, not just the first, because, to quote ShounenSuki, "Débuts are meaningless in non-sequential films and games."
