How come I have never found a game 'sprite' based 2d games in roblox?

Hello there!
I been doing some research on sprite games and I thought "huh , why haven’t I see anyone make a game like this in Roblox?"
Of course there are pro and cons that I thought about too . one of pros is you don’t need to 3D model anything in the game , and the only cons that I can think of is that you need a bunch of images to create let’s say a walking animation.

The famous MUGEN game is what made me think why haven’t someone recreate something like that? What do you guys think?

There’s no point making a whole spritesheet when you can just make a genuinely animated avatar. Spritesheets in games like Megaman are used because nothing is separated in a way that allows them to move it around and animate. Spritesheets are more often a result of a technical limitation than a purposeful art style.

I just don’t think Roblox supports 2D physics very well.
