I just saw some pre-patch pictures of the game.... Now I can see why people got so upset. I mean once the game was in Motion it became less Noticeable.
You know, I've notice this is some sort of Trend... whenever a Spritebased 2D Fighting Game Switches to 3D, people just Straight Up go Bonkers and demand they Change it like the good old days.
I personally prefer Full on 3D.... it just Animates more Smoothly....
It seems like Team Red was aware of this when they made Guilty Gears Xrd because even though Guilty Gear is 3D.... they tried to replicate All the Features of 2D Sprites... even all the way Right Down to the "Stopmotion" like Animations.
Fighting Games are weird....
