It's not correct statement, a 2d fighter is 2d because of its game play not the art style
What he meant to see was their aren't many hand drawn sprites being used in 2d games, which is true because they are expensive not because the fanbase wants 3d instead its the exact opposite
There is no comparison, street fighter V has beautiful animated movements, but look at how his gloves movem U mean look how is pants drape down on his leg as he kicks, that shyt is incredible
The standing Position of Kim, I can't fin da gif of a Dragon Ball Z fighter character in standing position, but you would immediately be able to to see the difference in the detail, especially on goku's pants compared to this
Also all the moves don't even fully animated in that game like how they do here, goku comes from resting position directly to punch, its not fully animated, which is why the game is kinda trash to me none of the movements are fluid from frame to frame
Everybody knows which style of animation is superior, I mean look at modern anime compared to the 80's and 90's its not even close
No imagine if Capcom or SNK had the budget from WB they give Netherealm to make those shytty mortal kombat games
shyt would look godlike
