Yeah, no.
Games like GranBlue, BattleFantasia, AquaPazza, Vanguard Princes, Koihime Musou Enbu, Blade Arcus, etc, etc say hi.
They dont have airdashes, yet they are still anime games according to some people around here.
You can go and read the thread i posted above.
Anime is a label that its definition changes depending on the excuse that people want to use to not play the game, lol.
No one agrees on what makes an anime game anime.
Sometimes is the number of buttons the game uses, sometimes is how long the combos are, how many bars and meters the game has, the type of mechanics, if it has hentai made about it, if it has body pillows, you namer it.
If it was something about the artstyle, then every game except MK would be anime.
And even MK could be constructed as one with all the weeb shit it has with Ninjas, people going isekai into other worlds to fight evil and shit like that.
Many people use it that way.
And like i said.
Anime is a term its definition changes.
For some people is the aesthetics.
For some people is the gameplay.
For some people is how much mechanics it has, or how many buttons the game uses for attacks.
Or if the game in question has an anime.
It has no real meaning.
But one thing is for sure, you point out that their prefered game is anime, they start making excuses to try to claim it isnt.
Nigga.
Is fucking anime.
It makes references to multiple animes.
It has school girls fighting using mysthical martial arts, anime chinese girls, people throwing plasma out of their hands.
You can try to deny it all you want, SF is anime as fuck.
