Street Fighter EX 

Street Fighter may be the best example of a series that should solely exist in the second dimension. The intricate combos, precise spacing, and move inputs were all meant for opponents who were face-to-face. Street Fighter EX tried to improve the gameplay by putting combatants in a 3D arena where they could strafe around their foe. The result was a game that spat in the face of everything that Street Fighter stood for. Some series should just stay in the second dimension for their own good.
