To me this is like absurd reviewers who actually criticize linearity; there's more than one way to skin a cat and a game can triumph regardless of whatever genre/formula mold it puts itself in.

BUT if I had to pick which style has more games that I like, it would definitely be 2D.

I think because 3d fighters have been more technology-concerned, a "better one" or definitive version comes out every few years, whereas 2D fighters from almost 20 years ago and can go toe-to-toe with the best of them today.

We played MvC for years after the game released and now that the HD re-release has come out on PSN, it's the default pastime whenever I have people over with nothing to do. I like Soul Caliber, Tekken, and I love Virtua Fighter, but they've never really captured me like 2D ones have.
