2D fighters revolve around spacing, anti-airs, meter, matchup knowledge, and the tiny tactical wars happening inside every neutral exchange. They can be slow and footsie-heavy or anime-fast and combo-crazy, but they all care deeply about precision and player reads. Few genres expose your habits this brutally.
