What would be interesting is if there was a perspective change button. 2D fighting only needs a straight line between both the players. So if there was a button that shifted in the 3d perspective, but kept the 2d line at all times, you could have a 2d fighter thats looks very 3 dimensional. It would be completely aesthetic, but it could provide for some dynamic background work, like if you shift such that the 2 players fight into the alley instead of the street.
Also I think people are underestimating the wii here. If SF4 is indeed 2D and looks like the screenshot above and remains in 2d, it can do it easily.
