It means you'll get a motion control game in the Street Fighter universe utilizing animations and assets from SF4 in a year and it will be probably pretty mediocre.

Will the Switch eventually get VR capability?

Fairly sure this game isn't going to be ST at all. It's Capcom's 30th SF Anniversary answer to SF2, being the game after Super Turbo. The HDRemix coat of 'polish' is just to suffice the modern generation, and some people do like the way it looks.
SF2-SF2HF-SSF2-SSF2T-SSF2THDR, now USF2 makes sense considering the anniversary. I wouldn't be surprised if they did similar things for Alpha/SF3. In fact, that would be awesome.

fuckin' called it, man
BTW, the artist fucked up the F-16 jet fighter in Guile's stage in Turbo HD Remix.
The F-16 should have a single, rounded 'half circle' air intake, as with every other version of Street Fighter II, not two rectangle intakes.
How about we talk about everyone having double arms in this screen shot
They won't port SF3, that would require more than minimum effort
It would be, but I imagine a remaster of SF3 would take a lot of work. Probably no new characters because of how intricate the animations are and they'd probably just make Chun-Li not broken and Sean not awful. Best not to mess with the 3S balancing anyway because the 3S FGC would flip, including me. They were considering messing with the balancing in Third Strike Online but ultimately didn't for that reason. But if they did add new characters then I'd probably get it straight away.
Alpha is much less featured in the FGC so it would be safer to mess with that game. Less animation frames too which means they could add new characters easily.
That's ridiculous. You can always go back and play older versions of the game or they could just include the original, unbalanced version in an updated re-release.

That would be crazy awesome. I just hope that if they do do something like that, it isn't exclusive to Switch.

Looks SFV visual style to me.
Maybe an "A Street Fighter Story" inbetween numered titles

Looks nothing like SFV, that's SF4 style.

Totally Not Street Fighter V : Dont sue us Sony edition
Not sure what this was supposed to mean.
M. Bison is calling "time" while he tries to adjust a contact lens and Ryu is a dick.
I was exaggerating, but yeah, I could. I'd still instabuy anything SF3-related regardless of balance changes.

They mention being able to switch to pixel mode and this screenshot seems like they learned their lesson and will allow you to change gen backdrop to original as well. That was my biggest beef with HDR pixels on high res back drops.
It is a Shadaloo goon, not bison

Mr TheSpoiler, can you add photos and videos and price in the OP, I'll appreciate it.
Motion controls on the joy cons and that suspiciously specific explanation of HD rumble? all points towards "yes".
Capcom doesn't want to make SFV look even worse by reminding us how fast SF used to be.

it would need significantly more horsepower to go VR, i'm afraid.

If it does I'm sure there is some sort of exclusivity deal in place for a period of time.
I would have thought some noise would have been made if there was any kind of exclusivity going on.

Wonder if V.Ken gonna have his pose and animations or will they just recolor the sprite.
This is SNK sprite craft work. Don't even dream.
Looks like SFIV's models/stylised texturing thrown in with SFV's lighting. (Or half baked version of it at least)

Well that's easy. No.

That's me. I'm sorry.
Let me get it out of the way, as Switch exclusive, it's eh, sure. It's a bit of a troll. REMake2 would've been a damn fine show if they wanted to do anything.
But, the more I've thought about this and the little bits of info we're getting, the more I'm actually really looking forward to it. Sure, it's a rom hack. An official one though. It's an actual new SFII like Super and Turbo were before it (Rainbow easily influencing some decision choices later). Most gamers have probably spent more money on SFII than they'd like, I get that and agree. But a new SFII? I'm strangely fine with it. New characters, even if cheap hacks? I'm...ok! I'd be okay if they decided to use Cammy's sprite and make another doll! SFII/SuperTurbo is one of my favourite games of all time. I'm not competitive at all and I suck at SFII really but I love it. The momentary annoyance IF USFII sucks is meh, whatever. Regular ST still exist and can't change that (and you don't need to buy this guys, noone is forcing you!)
That all said, the best scenario for this would be to include an arcade perfect port of ST as a separate included mode. No extra, no fluff, no tweaks! Pure arcade perfect. It needs to be a thing for sure. And then UltraSFII as the separate all new SFII however they want to take it. Flipping between the two should be a thing at this point in time. It gives us a 100% true classic and a new version that could well become a classic in its own right.
So taking it away from it being a Switch announce and just a new SFII announce, I'm very excited by it with or without a perfect ST mode, truthfully. It aint gonna be Switch exclusive, especially if it's a good update!
Very obviously this. Probably a little one-off minigame mode that lets you use the Joycons to fight Shadaloo guys.
I'm with you. As long as it's on PS4 also, where the online won't be dead a week after launch and where most fighting game fans have invested in peripherals already, I think it has some serious potential.
I don't think it will have a ST port included however (as much as I'd like one) as that will divide the player base.
Not sure what this was supposed to mean.
That looks like a Bison colored Shadaloo grunt
Also wasn't there some first person mode in that SF4 3DS port? I don't own the game but I vaguely remember something like that there.
Though I think it's probably just some unannounced mini-game they're including

It's kind of jarring to hear SFIV voice samples coming from SFII. What happens if you play as Evil Ryu in the classic graphics/sounds mode? Did they record any new samples for Violent Ken at all?

This is an exclusive and isn't coming anywhere else but the Switch. So says their website and Twitter.
Mr. Pointy

Yeah. Looks like Switch getting an SF4 version as well.
If it does anyway, will someone cut their head off?
I can see them definitely adding a few more clones (Decapre, Oni etc.)

I really wish Violent Ken had his classic stance. I consider that his defining attribute. Otherwise what's the point?
So cool...
So cool...
You're thinking of this:
Somehow I don't think the thing in the trailer is just Ultra Street Fighter II with a camera angle change though.
