Should a game fixed to 2d movement use 3d models?
This hurts my austism.
2d graphics for 2d games!

Or you could, you know, just not play something you don't like

sprite work is expensive and time consuming, at this point its reserved as a labor of love rather than something for mass commercial use, especially in fighting games. the fighting game market as it is can't afford the time it takes to make new sprites or edit existing ones. it also means they can't add (sell) new costumes to the fixed sprites
and if you're using capcom as an example who cares, their talent is long gone

It really depends. GGXrd made it so their 3D models looked 2D when there wasn't a cinematic playing. It really depends on the game.
I for one would think it might be interesting if there was a fighting game made of tweening vectors, though ones that are well done instead of flash movie junk.

Xrd still looks like a cel shaded 3D game. What kind of shitty tv you need to play on to not see that?

Yeah, it still looks like a 3D game.
The point is they tried and it works well enough with perspective and such.

Most of the original sprite creators and animators have aged out of the industry or they're just straight-up dead. They mostly haven't been replaced, and true 720p-1080p sprites require an enormous time/money investment.
KOFXIII's sprites required them to do some arcane fucking sorcery of rotoscoping then creating 3d models with lightsources and then tracing the 3d models with spritework. It cost anywhere from a shitload to a metric fuckload for each character.
Even making a 3d model look like a sprite ala GGXrd takes them 4-6 months per character.

I'm bringing back sprites.
For the glory of 2D games and for dick,unity.

That's a lie. Sprite work was always expensive, but, with 3D we have fewer people working in the field as it used to be.
But, it's that thing about demand. If there is more demand, you can bet it's going to bring people back into the craft. It's already happening in Japan, and hell, even in the West.
By the way, nowadays it can be used as great seller for a game. It's one of the main reasons people praise Vanillaware.

SF3 sprites are pretty amazing. I don't doubt it took a very long time to make them though.
