Why Fighting Games are Better in 2D

June 24, 2010 in Blog comments 8

GameZone takes a look at why fighting games in 3D don't end up meeting people's expectations. Street Fighter IV’s success isn’t just a wake-up call; it’s a warning to every fighting game developer.

Street Fighter hasn’t broken new ground this generation, but its retro throwback has only just begun. First, Capcom developed what could be described as a reunion of classic gameplay: Street Fighter IV. Now the developers have enhanced it with the release of Super Street Fighter IV (a no-brainer given the world’s obsession with Super Street Fighter II), Capcom has re-teamed with Marvel to revive the Marvel vs. Capcom series. After that, who knows?

        This, and the fact that the game overall was horrible. What the *bleep* was I thinking when I traded in CoD4 and R&CF:ToD for it. Anger...

        Who said anything about the 4th one? Soul Calibur 1 and 2 were flat out great games.

          Agreed. I just think ring outs are a silly thing to have in a fighting game.

    I don't get the love for SF myself.SF and Virtua Fighter are really the only two fighters I haven't got into.I have played various SF's and none of them draw me in like Killer instinct, King of Fighters, Soul Calibur, Tekken etc. did.

      I pretty much will play any fighter that isn't Mortal Kombat. I just especially like the Street Fighter series. SF4/SSF4 is Capcom's worst so far though, but it's still tolerable and slightly enjoyable.

      I like the Guilty Gear series as well. One of the best fighters ever
