What do you want out of a new 2D/3D fighter?

[Conun]

We've all been playing the fighting games of other people's dreams for the longest and so from all that you've seen/played what do you want out of games? Also have you ever tired to make one or in process in making one now?(I've seen fair share of 2d ones but on the 3d side , it looks pretty non existent comparing it to 2d games.)

With 3d fighters , you have a lot of styles and weapons not utilized in games like Dead or alive , Tekken , VF, and Soul Calibur etc.

With 2d fighters , you could use different styles in setting and mechanics to give its own unique ways than the usual 2d games that we get from Japan like Blazblue , Gulity gear , KoF , and etc. (Would be nice to see western ones that got popular.)

What I want to see out of 3d fighting games at least is more fighting styles that aren't common used or spoken of by word of mouth. That would be the thing that would hype me most about the game over your bruce lee clones and karate users.

For 2d fighters , I would like to see good 2d that comes from western developers like the MK team and how it plays doesn't matter much to me but it would be a change of pace with all the Japanese ones. (There is skullgirls but if they wanted to get more hype for it , they should have added male cast and not made it an all female game.) (That was really the only game to emerge from western side for the longest and it was sad to see that it was only made to appeal to certain people...)

I'd like to see a 2D fighter that puts a large emphasis on space control but still has fast movement options. Think ST style space control but with air dashes. Also, a less useful variation of P4A's auto-combo system.

I'd love to see styles that aren't portrayed very often or at all in a 3D fighter. I love watching martial arts. The problem is that it's probably pretty difficult to find footage or something to watch a lot of these non-mainstream or rare styles of fighting. I suppose you could let creative control take over and create your own fighting styles. That would be pretty interesting. A fighting game made up rare styles or made up styles.

You could always make your own footage(pay users to show off and fight each other) or learn style yourself.(Or study into the style real hard to know what you want out of it.)

Speaking of fighting styles , I would like more to be given to people that don't belong to a certain culture/race , its easy to find a teacher or dojo that teaches a style.(So in real life , you would see a diverse set of users of style.)

I want a fighting game with one tier on the tier list for one thing. I'd also like a fighting game where the Zui Quan user isn't actually drunk, since that's extremely cliche and you need to be sober to properly use it in real life.

And like PhoenixVFIRE said, I'd like to see fighting styles that aren't seen often in fighting games. Krav Maga would be pretty badass.

I want a game with unique characters each of different nationalities with their own mannerisms and language etc. Focus on mechanics not used as much. 3D Arena Fighters are still on diapers IMO and there is tons of things to experiment there. Unique styles and different ways of handling situations with characters I'm probably talking nonsense but I know I'll be working on a 3D fighting game as soon as I get a new PC (Will do all visual work first since I know how to work that part and then work on the programming since I will be learning that stuff on my own)

Street Fighter?
Karate Champ?
Urban Champion?

For 3d fighter , I want a pure hip-hop style that incorporates modern dances and has stance that leads into older dances.(who doesn't like throwbacks.)
Character has to shout "ahhh yea" and "we about to kick it old school" for lols as they do older dance moves and new moves they say whatever people say for newer ones.(Character has to have enough style that you wanna dance along with them.)
