Why do you think its bad that this doesn't fit into some existing archetype?
Do you think the art style is bad?

She has that in 2 and 3. It's not exactly a Hadoken. More like flaming fist attacks like Chun-Li.

Is it a vibe, though?
I'm just saying it looks like some comic books. Obviously, not all comic books look alike.
Axel cancels his aerial hit in to another move here. Was this kind of cancel tech in SoR 1-3? If not, this could end up being more interesting with a traditional fighter combo system.
art style seems to be very similar to Double Dragon Neon, but that game ruled-- and also i stan anything SOR.
Day 0 for me

No in the ole games you're locked into an air move the moment ya commit. Juggling seems like a big factor here so encouraging more varied jump attacks is probably by design
I mean, the artist on this game (Ben Fiquet) is a comic book illustrator so...
I've shared this before, but this is a story about how I wondered for years if there would be a fourth since I erroneously thought the third attended on a cliffhanger:
I always played on the easiest difficulties as a kid because sometimes I'd lose all my lives even on the easiest difficulty. So I'd always get to this:
I didn't realize that the robot was mocking me for playing this on the easiest difficulty and trying to tell me to play on a harder one. So for the longest time, I thought, "Man, I wonder what's going to happen in the sequel since that wasn't really Mr. X."
It was only last year that I realized there were other endings and watched them.
Moral of the story:

I notice this too. He did a cross up with it as well. It caused an air juggle state. This opens up a ton of team combos.
I'm not a big fan of the art style. The backgrounds particularly don't do it for me.
That being said, I'm really looking forward to it no matter what.

Those juggles, whew. Looks like you can cancel aerial attacks into one another, too.
Honestly a little happy to see them use this artstyle as opposed to something like Sonic Mania. Yeah, it would've been nice to see, but SoR Remake scratches that itch just as well, and that runs on even the shittiest toaster with little issue. I was a big fan of the Dragon Trap remake artstyle and it's nice to see it extended to other games. I think it works well here

I also couldn't complete Normal mode back in the 90's, but I recommend that you try the recent Genesis Collection. It has the Japanese version of sor3, which is easier.I've shared this before, but this is a story about how I wondered for years if there would be a fourth since I erroneously thought the third attended on a cliffhanger:

And the game has 4 different endings, BTW.
Axel and Blaze aged but the other enemies seem the same. Does Mr. X just find new people to fill the "BigBen" and "R. Signal" templates for his gang?
Also, so over the moon that LizardCube got to work on this!
Wonder Boy - The Dragon's Trap remake was my game of 2017 (^_____^)

The characters do look a bit too thick. Listen, I'm going to buy this and enjoy it. That's not the question. I definitely prefer the aesthetic of The Take Over. I guess what I'd really want from a SoR sequel is pixel art.
Lookit, background animation! Look, Blaze's Kikou-sho obviously isn't complete! (Her hair and belt stay in spot after the attack, as opposed to how well Axel's clothing and hair rest after Grand UPPA). More enemy variety and animation, our new "Snake Scarf" girl actually gets an in-game frame, and the backgrounds have a nice, solid detail to them with all the linework, that helps the more flat, colorful characters pop. And the bits of lighting look more like 2D highlights, rather than style-dimishing gradients that so many 2D studios are plugin-in to their games.
This looks "Floaty" in the same vein that something like Battle Circuit looks floaty. Part of the point is to get the enemies moving through the air for your control, rather than going for knockdowns. Axel doing 3 moves in the air looks NICE, I wonder if this means he'll be able to jump after an upper, for an "Aerial Rave"?
Lizardcube is impressing me with their balance of beautiful animation paired with work they actually seem able to finish. They seem to have good heads for the entire project they're working on, rather than just over-doing things at the get-go, and needing to reduce their ambition as time goes on. Golgoth Studios seemed really guilty of this. We've also seen a lot of that from LabZero and the devs of Battle Chef Brigade. I think a lot of people (and even the artist themselves) underestimate the complexity of High-Definition 2D. I hope they're able to maintain this quality all the way to the end.
This is a great reason why I'm not worried that we haven't seen more characters and such yet. This stuff takes time.

I just commented that in the SOR4 Reveal trailer thread. It's seems that's new and it looks great. I like how they are tweaking the gameplay a bit, like those juggles between Axel and Blaze
