Why is this game still 2D?

[Ghost Rider]

I don't understand why 2D fighter games still exist. They were just the product of their times and should have been abandoned a long time ago. Ever since PS3 era, 2D fighting games just became obsolete since the graphics already improved a lot. I really hoped that they were going to make this game 3D like Tekken after seeing some 3D scenes then it was just a world tour or something. SF is just long overdue its time and should be updated with modern mechanics. I feel like Tekken 8 will just smash this game just like Tekken 7 did to SFV.

Pretty smart trolling, I'll give you that.

Assuming this isn't a bait post, it's because 2D and 3D fighting games play very differently and appeal to different audiences. The only FG franchise I know that went from a 2D to 3D plane was Mortal Kombat. And even then, MK went back to 2D and was much more successful

The EX games weren't really on a 3D plane. The plane you fought on might change with the background but gameplay-wise, it still was completely a 2D game like all the other SF games are

Your post history says otherwise. Good day.

The real question is why TrollOP isn't in 5D yet.

It's the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 21st century man. Get with the times or find a retirement home that's right for you.

Nice bait. Almost bit it.
Though since I'm leaving a comment here, I guess I still sat on the hook in a sense.

For the same reason the next big Super Mario game is 2D.
They play very differently. I prefer 2D because the fights are visually more stylish I think, it's more straight forward.

ok

Because SF fans like the game the way it is. 3D fighting games themselves are a product of their time if you think about it, it's just two characters in a map beating each other why not make it an open world where you could walk around the map like yakuza or whatever. Some genres simply don't have to evolve.

Idk, i like both. They play different. Sometimes I want tekken, sometimes SF or GG

3d fighting games indeed suck. i didn't play fighting games for ages because 3d fighting games were all i saw. then dbfz came out and i was hyped to have a series i like have a modern 2d fighting game, and ever since then... well, i only play fighting games.
