Ouch, I'll reply to make you feel better =). Personally in my opinion when it comes to fighting games 2-d is the way to go and the only way it should've been. I enjoy Soul Calibur, and Tekken, and yes it's fun to beat the crap out of a button masher in either of those games but it seems to me that 3-d fighting games effectively created button bashing that works (kinda).
In other areas of gaming I think a return to 2-D would be awesome. We've seen how good 2-D games can look now. Braid's graphics are beautiful as well as Odin's Sphere, and even old 2-D games still look nice such as Castlevania Symphony of the Night, or Street Fighter 3rd Strike (best looking 2-d fighter imo).
Yes 3-D can do more, but at the same time restrictions actually force people to be more creative. There's a lot of things in 2-D that I don't think could be done in 3-D (name me a good 3-D Capcom or SNK fighter). Sonic is another example, yah he was fast in 2-D but whoah what happened why's he so much slower in 3-D? Braid would also be a bitch to play in 3-D as well. SMUPS are also a genre that has excessively failed in 3-d games because when you're playing Gladius you don't have time to look all around the screen, you dodge whatever you can see on the screen at the time.
