All the ripped particle and shadow systems aside, I think this will have trouble holding players.
Mainly because of the spriting. A sliding little guy is just, WAY to retro, and there is a reason animation was invented.
Trying to cover it up with source edits from VBGore wont change the fact that the player representation itself is boring, and if a player is bored by their avatar, there isnt much chance they'll stick around long.
With those tiny lil sprites it really wouldnt be to much to animate them to SOME degree.
