Would You be More Interested in 3D Fighting Games if

(For all the People not interested in 3D Fighters)

~~~ they removed side stepping/8-way run movements? ~~~

  • with a possible game mechanic that would allow you to switch positions with your opponent, would be useful if you’re trapped in the corner, etc…

So you want it go back to VF2?

Lets make fighting games less diverse. Brilliant

So if they removed 8-way run and sidesteps, how would 3D games be different than 2D fighters?

Stupid fucking question

Are we talking about 2.5D then?

It could work. I wouldn’t mind seeing a a game that was a mix between VF2 and VF4. Then again you could play VF4(and onward)without using evades, so yeah…

VF would still be able to distinguish itself if a game this restricted was made. Tekken? Nope. SC and DOA would, with SC being the more unique between the two.

Would you be more interested in 2D fighters if you couldn’t jump?

Hell no.

So you basically talk about Street Fighter 4?

Then it’s not a 3D fighter.

What 3D fighters could really use are more projectiles, meters, and advanced movement. Let’s get some more games like GNT/CoN and Rival Schools.

No. I like a good number of 3D fighters on a 3D plane as is. No need to limit them like that.

interesting, i guess there isnt much than that would bring yall on board = (

i really would love to see the scene grow, not sure its gonna happen though.

The scene will grow if we focus on one game only. We don’t see 15 mobas at championships. We only see one.

Maybe that gives other communities room to grow or maybe it would give them a definite death. Its up in the air at this point.

I’d play more Virtua Fighter if more people around me played Virtua Fighter or if the online was better (especially on PSN.)

I think a bunch of these people already like and or play 3D, it’s just the idea of taking sidestep and 8-way run is just an unpopular idea from those that already like it. I like 3D and taking away sidestep will not bring in more people and will not make the game as appealing to those that already do.

The reason I don’t like 3D fighters has nothing to do with sidestep and I don’t know why anyone would be against 3D fighters having 3D movement.

How would removing a unique aspect of 3D fighters make people want to play them?

You’d like to see the 3D fighter scene grow by making them into 2D fighters? I’m not really sure what it is you really want.

Control isnt so much an issue. Not less than in 2D fighters.

3D fighters used to appear in arcades with top of the line hardware. Games like MK4, Mace:the Dark Age, Soulcalibur etc.
They were popular not only because of the gameplay but because of their amazing graphics. Regarding gameplay they were still a lot of problems.
A lot of money was spent on their development.

But now a 3D fighter appears in underpowered hardware and you read that its graphics suck but gameplay is good…

Just like it happens now with 2D fighters like the new Guilty Gear and KOF, same has to happen with 3D fighters. Ironic that 2d fighters change more than 3d fighters.
Use top hardware and make them relevant again. Make the game more realistic both in movement and controls.
but 3D fighters can become too expensive in order to use their full potential.
