Can someone lead me in the right direction for creating the movement on a horizontal plane like in games such as double dragon or final fight?

Or even a demo of something like http://www.boredtodeath.ie/original/dev/

I need to figure out how to make the sprite move up on the plane. Not jumping, but walk up like in 3 dimensional space.

It is probably something very obvious i am overlooking, but I can't figure it out. Thanks!

Here's the thread for the series of tutorials that got me started. http://impactjs.com/forums/games/working-on-a-mmo

Appreciate it! Yeah, now I just need to figure out how to make the character jump and add gravity on a plane like this.
