I'm trying to make a 2.5D fighting game which uses Sprite3D nodes for the characters. Is it possible to get a normal map on the Sprite3D without having to use a SpatialMaterial instead of the Texture?

I don't see any option, unless you add your own material override.

I remember there is a way to do this, but it isn’t super well documented and involves having sprite frames with specific names. Unfortunately, I do not remember what the names are anymore 😓
(I might be misremembering with the AnimatedSprite node, thinking about it…)

You might want to check on GitHub by searching “Sprite3D Normal” and see if you can find a discussion on it in closed issues/PRs.

I want to say the setup is: make an normal sprite frame and give it a name, and then make another sprite frame called “name_Normal”, where name is the name of the sprite frame.

I looked it up and it looks like I was thinking of the AnimatedSprite node. However, I did find a feature request for adding normals to Sprite3D:
