I really do dig the overall style of the game - the graphics, the weird song, the menu - it's good. And combat visually seems fine, it's messy, but it kinda works when you're watching it - which is good, and seems much better than the first gifs/webms posted in the thread when the characters were 2D.

But unfortunately the gameplay doesn't connect with the visuals. It feels kinda imprecise. Like - hits missing when they seem like they should've landed and hits landing when they should've missed. The idea for "you have to commit to a move" is interesting, kinda reminds me of YOMIH. Problem is - you're still binding the gameplay to real time while making the player sit out and wait the end of the move. And at this point even though it looks fine from a distance - to the player the game starts to feel sluggish.

I honestly don't know what to suggest. It's an experiment and I can dig that, but it didn't really work for me, sorry.

first of all, i actually liked the STYLE of the intro
but your song choices don't really fit the vibe of the game at ALL!
the combat didn't really click with me
it doesn't really feel RESPONSIVE, like it feels like one of those cheap bootleg gameboy street fighter clones where the movement was extremely limited for technological reasons
i get going for the linear animation style with few frames not blending with each other, but the combat itself should be more fluid
the "jump" was also extremely wimpy and underwhelming
if i press jump and a direction i actually want to jump TOWARDS that direction, maybe not flying all over the place like blazblue and virtua fighter, but something like tekken would be more appropriate
why 4 characters fighting?? it makes sense for a smash clone where chaos is the main appeal, but in a fighting game i expect a 1vs1 duel where i don't have to worry about people kicking the shit out of me from both sides
